2009-02: Christina Paschalidou reports on Case South East (G)

The objective of Case G is to develop and promote solutions that improve the ability to absorb increased freight transport demand through the harmonisation of information exchange and processes, and the integration of advanced and appropriate technologies (GIS, XML, web-services, RFID, barcode), while maintaining interoperability with existing IT solutions.

A re-engineered business model has been developed providing plans for the operation of the case covering processes, information, organisation and technology specifications in order to be used as a basis for implementation according to the FWF requirements. Also the use and applicability of the information packages for Case G were defined after the last release of the FWF and certain scenarios were selected to be implemented. These activities resulted in the delivery of D22.G.1 Re-engineered business model; its final version was submitted at the end of Year 2 (month 24) incorporating modifications made in the second release of FWF.

WP23 activities started some months ago with adaptation of the technical specifications in order to provide integration of the FW system with the ICT solutions currently used by the industrial partners.

Finally, evaluation activities led to the respective Deliverable (D25.1 Zero State Case G) which included the expectations of each partner from the project, the quantitative and qualitative indicators which should measure each objective, the comparison between the current and target level in order to analyse the above indicators and the examination of the technical and organisational feasibility of new services and applications.
