Intermediary service platform for resources allocation in transportation logistics

摘要

In this paper there is proposed a new concept for Transportation Intermediary Service Platform (TISP) that is used to develop intelligent software solutions for transportation logistics. Main attention is given to the problem of necessity to increase the quality of provided transportation services. Intelligent services platform is implemented as a software solution that provides virtual decision making points for smart transportation enterprises that can use them to compete and cooperate in integrated information space. The examples of successful TISP implementation in practice are given for the distribution of products/services among fixed number of consumers and pickup and delivery service for unscheduled customers.
