INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR INTRA-CITY LOGISTICS BASED ON WWW TECHNOLOGIES

Currently in the city of Riga there are several parallel, independent of each other, networks for delivery goods. It is noteworthy that, unlike the major networks, companies doing outsourcing cannot provide the routes full load vehicles and the best routes. In the central part of the city near the same streets perform different trucks delivering goods to customers of neighbouring addresses. The movement, parking and downloading of vehicles produced during the working day and during peak hours, sometimes without taking a single lane road. This creates additional problems for urban traffic, pedestrians and the urban environment. The situation could be improved by creation of a virtual segment of intelligent transport system, planning the work of small transport companies (SME) that would work on outsourcing of logistics centres. The concept of such a system is in creation of the Internet-portal for linking customers and freight transport companies.
