Efficient transportation intelligently organizing flow of goods
Abstract
Anyone intending to manage transportation of the future must examine current developments closely. How do goods flow? How can logistical processes be organized better with the aid of new telematic technologies and handling concepts? Strategies to manage them arise from tests under real conditions and in the laboratory. Today, the reliable and precise functioning of telematic units is just as much a part of logistics as the incorporation of environmental factors. Therefore, under the auspices of the Ministry of State Development and Transportation, Saxony-Anhalt, it led to the establishment of the Saxony-Anhalt Galileo Test Bed. The test bed is intended to support developments and innovations systematically. The goal of the Saxony-Anhalt Galileo-Test Bed is to systematically support Saxony-Anhalt´s enterprises and research organizations that are developing new localization, navigation and communication services and products for transportation (road and rail) and logistics to create new jobs in these sectors. The paper deals with the research questions which should be answered.
