Integrated system for automated and paperless management of transit documents and for tracking movement of goods in real-time

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Finland - Estonia - Latvia - Sweden (Central Baltic)

Description

Description (EN):

In Europe, ca 75% of the volume and 90% of the value of all goods are transported by road. Transportation of freight between Finland and Estonia is very active as Finland is constantly among one of top three import/export partners of Estonia. Regardless the close cooperation in exchange of goods there is no united and integrated system, that enables to manage the transport related information and documentation across borders electronically. As a result, the transportation of goods across Estonia and Finland is very ineffective and time-consuming. The objective of the project is to improve the transport flows of goods and reduce the time-consumption of the movement of goods in three strategic transport corridors between Estonia and Finland (Ikla-Kotka, Ikla-Kemi and Luhamaa-Turku). To improve the efficiency of the transport corridors, an innovative information system MobiCarnet (MC) will be developed. MC is a united and integrated system for automated and paperless management of transit documents and for tracking the movement of goods in real-time. MC helps to harmonize transport procedures, as it enables document management electronically in one integrated system, prevents duplication and double checking of data and enables real-time overview of trucks and goods movement for all authorised organisations involved. The project contributes to the programme result indicator by reducing transportation time of goods in three transport corridors by more than 13%. The cross-border cooperation between Estonia and Finland is crucial to achieve the objectives of the project and therefore the project will be implemented in the close partnership of Association of Estonian International Road Carriers (ERAA) and Finnish Transport and Logistics SKAL. Both organisations have extensive knowledge and experience in improving the field of road transportation and after the project both organisations will be responsible for the on-going implementation of the MobiCarnet system.

Expected Results (EN): R3.3. Transport flows of goods

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project contributes to the programme result indicator by reducing transportation time of goods in the transport corridors by more than 13%. Main results of the project are the following: 1. A joint integrated system of Finland and Estonia to increase the efficiency of transport corridors and decrease the time consumption of flow of goods each corridor. An example : a) In Ikla-Kotka corridor the transportation time is ca 12.5 hours (preparation 1h, loading 2h, random checks by customs in both countries 1.5h, driving time 8h). With MobiCarnet, the duration of whole process will be reduced by 1.5h in total, thus the duration is 11 hours. b) In Ikla-Kemi corridor the transportation time is ca 21 hours (preparation for customs 2h, random checks by customs in both countries 2h, driving time 17h). With MobiCarnet, the duration of whole process will be reduced by 2h in total, thus the duration is 19 hours. c) In Luhamaa-Turku corridor the transportation time is ca 16 hours (preparation of documents for customs 4h, random checks by customs in both countries 1h, driving time 11h). With MobiCarnet, the duration of the whole process will be reduced by 3h in total, thus the duration is 13 hours. 2. All documents are electronic and in one system enabling access to all authorities thus making the controlling of vehicles more effective. 3. The processes of different phases of transportation of goods are automated and optimised. Collecting documentation from different institutions in preparation phase or providing them for random checks on paper is not necessary, as MobiCarnet keeps them in one electronic system. 4. Transportation of goods is faster, as the customs do not have to stop the trucks on the road. 5. All information related to the transport of goods is available electronically and in real-time. The authorities are able to check the list of goods, the condition and fuel level of the vehicle as well as to track the movement of the vehicle in real-time and automatically.
