Analytic Port Information System

PARADIGMA, Vienna, August 7, 2012

PARADIGMA & Transportation Sector

Market potential study for transport relations between the Eastern

Mediterranean and Central Europe (Venice/Italy)

Identify cargo, consigners/consignees, transportation service providers

Statistical production, marketing potential and business development

Feasibility studies to connect the Baltics with the Adriatic using rail

links (Venice/Italy, Szczecin/Poland, EU funded project)

Production of national road transportation statistics using ICT

(R&D project with freight forwarders, truckers and academic institutions)

Utilize existing transport management systems and onboard technology

Establish the empirical foundation for Austria's road transport model (Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure)

Combine different survey‟s and administrative data sets

Identify barriers to multimodality ( in Europe) and develop case

studies to test their economic and ecological impact (Bologna, EU

funded project)

PARADIGMA & Maritime Ports

Port of Livorno and its role in a multimodal transport process

Supply chain development of imports of Subaru cars from Japan to Italy, crossing the Alps and to the national car distributor.

Port of Ravenna and inland ports in the empty container movement cycle

Business process modeling and prototyping to manage the relocation of empty containers.

Port of Venice and monthly tracking of cargo movements (maritime, road and rail)

Combining data from APV‟s own port community system, with rail shunting data and traffic counts from the highway administration

Mediterranean ports

… a set of methods and software components to support Port

Authorities in their the analytical, planning, monitoring, controlling

and publishing work.

Maritime ports are faced with a plethora of challenges that require

decisions founded on solid empirical evidence as opposed to

subjective experience only.

In spite of the considerable investment in information technology

made in the past, port communities are not satisfied with the quality

of the data nor with the decision support.

More often than not information is not current, lacks detail as well as

reliability making any analysis, no matter how sophisticated, which is

based on such data, dubious at best.

SMART criteria

Measurable

AttainableRealistic

Time-sensitive

SpecificLoose, broad or vague goals are not desirable. Specific

goals allow to hold someone to account for their

achievement.

MeasurableThe measure may be quantitative or qualitative, but

measurement should be against a standard of performance

and a standard of expectation.

AttainableGoals should not be out of reach but reasonable and

attainable. Setting goals is a balance between this degree

of “attainability” and challenge and aspiration.

RealisticA goal might be attainable, but not realistic in the

particular working environment. A realistic goal helps

examining the availability of resources and selecting PPIs.

Time-sensitiveGoals should have a time frame or completion date to

monitor progress. This is instrumental in developing a

realistic action plan including intermediate objectives.

Beneficiaries & benefits

Enhance the competitive position of ports

Improve the efficiency and visibility of supply chains (door-door)

Enhance the image of the port, provide meaningful information to the public and industry players.

Consolidated and aggregated statistics will serve as a benchmark for terminal operators and LSP’s

LSP’s will be able to increase the transparency and visibility of the Supply Chains

LSP’s will be able to develop innovative logistics concepts

Public Administration and transport planners will be able to guide public policy formulation.

Customs will be able to monitor and analyze the development of traffic and cargo movements, combining APIS with their own data to detect potential safety and security exposures.

APIS Hallmarks & Differentiators

Seamless integration with existing PCS and other datasources, without

impacting the performance of the operational systems

Enabling different user groups within the port community to develop their

own analysis from simple tables to advanced analytics without the

involvement of IT staff

Comprehensive set of predefined and extensible indicators which allow

the management of the port to plan, manage and monitor the execution

of strategies

Built in and customizable access control features, ensuring the

confidentiality and sensitivity of underlying microdata
