Task Description in DOW

„Current and future development in IT-Systems, ICT and ITS-applications will be identified. These cover systems of companies for dealing with orders and tracking and tracing, new technologies for data collection and new technologies for measurement of key figures for carbon footprint calculation. An inventory of promising telematics applications and advanced IT systems will be made and the applications and systems will be assessed. Also the e-Freight initiative on standardised freight transport information interfaces and GALILEO applications will be considered.“

Task Leader: Rapp Trans AG

Task Contributors: VTT, DLR*, Marlo*, ITSW*

Scope for the technologies and systems looked at (1)

The technologies to be looked at are depending on

• the carbon footprint measurement framework (calculation principles and procedures, methods and parameters, direct measurement of parameters)

• the level of carbon footprint measurement as shipment, transport relation, (transport network), company or the more aggregated transport and logistics sector level (including reference unit)

• the stage of process (planning, operation, monitoring)

• the logistics and transport processes included (transport, storage, transhipment, etc.)

• the consideration of further processes (e.g. energy production, production of transport and logistics equipment, production of transport and logistics infrastructure).

2067.111/COFRET/MSR/6.9.20116

Scope for the technologies and systems looked at (2)

According to the DOW we will limit the scope to new technologies and systems which can support the calculation and measurement of the carbon footprint of supply chains. Based on this focus we will look more precisely at

1. Supply Chain and Transport Planning Tools

2. Information and Communication Systems (focusing on applications by enterprises)

3. Business Applications (Accounting, etc.).

That means we will not look at technologies and systems to reduce the carbon footprint of supply chains.

• Information and Communication Systems (focusing on applications by authorities, e.g. traffic management)

• Information and Communication Systems (focusing on applications by enterprises, which have no direct value for CO2 Calculation, e.g. ant collision systems)

• Propulsion systems

• Vehicle Design

• Materials

• Infrastructure.
