DynaServ

Support for dynamic scheduling tasks in forwarding companies through service-oriented integration of online data.

In the research project, distributed, up-to-date information is made usable for the support of scheduling and control tasks in transportation companies. The research and development objective is crystallized along two lines:

• Integration of online data into existing forwarding software in the form of a service-oriented architecture,
• Formalization of the planning and control problems arising from the extended data basis and development of corresponding algorithms for dynamic decision support (also as system-independent services).

Relevant online data that will be available to the dispatcher and the driver as a basis for decision-making as part of the project includes, among other things

• Vehicle data and driver deployment times from vehicle telematics,
• Information on the current traffic situation and availability of truck parking spaces,
• Freight exchanges for arranging freight and loading space,
• current fuel prices (incl. geographical distribution).
