Technique of Using the “Voyage Planning” Concept for the Logistic Integration of Inland Waterway Transport

Abstract:

The option of choosing to continue the route of goods arriving on waterway routes and have destinations within its territory and vice versa of internal waterways depends on many factors. We intend to analyze the optimizing conditions of inland waterway transport so that the line of route connections integrate inland water transport as a viable advantageous option. Inland waterway transport accounts for about 7 to 9% of all goods transported within the European territory, the growth opportunity being viable only if this option of transport substantially reduces its weak parts that determine orientation to car or railway transportation. We have to observe carefully the causes of low mobility generated by waterway routes, speed and rhythm of transport streams to different destinations, quality and timeliness of the service provided, the active involvement and integrated of ports as logistic hubs essential in the combined transport of goods. An important step that can generate growth of inland water transport option is how they respond to the request of transport based on development of voyage planning concept, objective that we try to detail in all aspects.
