DREAMIT
Digital REal-time Access Management in Intermodal Transportation
Collection
and
processing
of data…
…in real-time
to enable
better decision
making and
thereby a
more
sustainable
transportation
system
Management of the process
where actors are given
access to resources to
perform activities
Example: Collect a container
in port. It will be made
available at the right time, to
the right haulier, in the right
condition etc.
Intermodal transportation systems are
particularly exposed to the effekts of
poorly coordinated actors, resources
and activities in links and nodes.
A cost intensive business as this, with
low operating margins and large
investment levels, need to - to be able
to compete long-term - exploit modern
technology as much as possible .
