Content and results
The aim of ALSO DANUBE project was to promote inland navigation focused not only on the development of appropriate IT solutions, but also on ideas to create a “friendly” business environment for waterborne transport in managed intermodal logistics chains. The developed IT-solutions are enabling the interlinking of traffic and transport management on inland waterways and are supporting thus the realisation of the ALSO DANUBE concepts. Designed and developed IT-solutions out of the ALSO Danube project were:
- CSL.DB (Common Source Logistic Database), the comprehensive logistic database for the interlinking of traffic and transport information and for establishing an information network between the actors in the transport chain. · ETNA (European Transport Network Application), the web-information portal for multimodal liner-services schedules in Europe.
- LOMAX, the lock management system for the planning of locking procedures and for supporting traffic management.
- AIM (Application Interconnectivity Manager), the communication interface between the CSL.DB and company specific applications, with special focus on the conversion of EDIFACT messages.
- ILLONET, the extension of a company specific planning application with traffic information out of DoRIS (piloting).
- Billing and monitoring application for the management of container liner services · Resource planning application for the management of Door-to-Seaport transports Online logbook and fleet management system for container liner services on the Danube
