Application Areas
Congestion Mitigation around Ports, Terminals & Industrial Areas Regional Transit Corridors & Border Crossings Trade Information Management

Import Screening & Risk Assessment

Cargo Tracking & Chain-of-Custody Transportation Asset Management

Government & Regulatory Compliance

Challenges
Poor physical Infrastructure, long transit times & frequent road accidents

Consequences
Limited intermodal systems & capabilities Poor road network & inland logistic infrastructure: reduced road capacity, unreliable deliveries, increased cost Congestion around ports, cities, industrial zones & border
Ageing truck fleet and broken rail cars Added expenses to reposition assets (e.g. ) Insufficient truck control & uncoordinated gating/pickup Wasted fuel & high-carbon environmental pollution Inability to manage performance of assets & personnel No data to guide policy & strategic decisions Poor planning & investment from lack of data/metrics

Sub-optimal utilization of transportation assets & personnel

Limited oversight, reporting & performance metrics

Challenges
Poor visibility into cargoes & transportation assets High instance of physical Inspection

Consequences
Poor coordination between transport providers & terminals/depots Delays through physical inspection by Customs stifles trade Pilferage/diversion adds to cargo costs & reduces service-level to customer Poor chain-of-custody & asset tracking mechanisms

Lack of standards & regulations; Noncompliance with government & industry regulations

Non-compliance with government & industry regulations results in process delays & added fees. Lack of safety enforcement & certification for vehicle and operators Delays in clearance processes & corruption Too many checkpoints along transit routes

Understanding Inefficiencies in the Supply Chain

Entry/Exit Points:
+ Seaports + Airports + Borders
High incidence of physical inspection by Customs Poor cargo arrival, discharge & release planning Manual handling of import/export processes

Inland Transportation & Logistic Systems

Poor road & rail network... Poor state where exist Low adoption of inland container depots (ICD) Uncoordinated movement of transport assets Transport service providers are not well organized

Risk & Regulatory Compliance Screening

Limited risk screening, valuation & reporting ability Increased dwell-time, hampers trade facilitation & adversely impacts supply chain security Poor cargo & asset transit monitoring

Infrastructure Realities

Goods Movement in Ports, Cities & Inland Corridors

Freight traffic is necessary evil
Trucks have out-sized impact on traffic congestion: 3-4x Increased pollution & environmental degradation Safety and security concerns Limited rail options

Expanded physical infrastructure not always possible, sufficient

but
Addressable universe with underlying processes & ICT Authorities to regulate Available win-win propositions

Compelling Results
Enables single, consistent data usage and validation
Improves visibility & reduces discretion Reduces clearance times by 50% or more Facilitates real-time collaboration between agencies on admissibility decisions Motivates performance improvements in both the public and private sector With improved physical infrastructure, process issues become the bottleneck

Target Resources: Risk Screening & Valuation

Premise:
Large percentage of imports are compliant Focus on & isolate violative imports based on defined risk criteria Expedite import clearance & reduce delays

Enforce compliance & detect declaration fraud

Risk targeting for enforcement & security activities

Revenue, Security, Intelligence

Standards & Product Safety

Vehicle, Load, Road Safety

Optimizing other operational decisions & reporting

PREDICTs Operational Impact

Fewer items are held for review

Field reviews and lab tests find More goods get to market more violations faster
Enormous returns to the public Efforts more productive Less FDA work Greater product safety to US$25 million/year more catch same number of violations without PREDICT Better products reach markets more quickly at lower cost

Other applications
Customs inspections

Weigh stations
Movement of containers to depots Vehicle safety inspections

Drive Efficiency: Maximize & Control Assets Operational objectives:

Minimize unproductive movements & waiting Relocate activities, including waiting, from congested areas Integrate multimodal capabilities

Organize transportation providers for efficiency

Integrate across trade & logistic communities and regulators

Distinct techniques:

Implement Truck Control & Border Transit Solutions

Integrate transporters with terminals/Customs Enable messaging for release, dispatch & border notification Use data to drive investment and policy decisions

Reduce checkpoints
Expand use of Inland facilities Enforce transportation standards

Logistic Management Example

Truck Control & Border Transit System (Aqaba, Jordan)
Controls movement of trucks from 5 entry points on road network reaching 39 specific destinations including 13 terminals Over 175 trucking companies with nearly 10,000 trucks use the system Several truck parks with capacities varying from 150 to 400 trucks Hundreds of concurrent users request permits, log events & receive instructions from the system Existing infrastructure at terminals (A.P. Moeller) & other destinations incorporated into TCS Captures events at very low cost from RFID readers deployed to monitor truck movements Jordan-Syria & Jordan-Saudi Border transit monitoring
