SESSION 4. IMPROVING INFORMATION SERVICES FOR MOSCUSTOMERS
Initiative 8. ITS for port and transport communities
Initiative 13. Clustering of sea ports in a region
Initiative 14. Data mining and Decision Support System
Main problems addressed
3
MoS require good connectivity and good connectivity calls for good
mobile IT systems for MoS customers
MoS customers do not always receive quality information and information available varies even within ports in the same region
PCSs sit on top of loads of information, many fields of information are not confidential, and even so it is not used for any purpose
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can be used to provide innovative services relating todifferent modes of transport and traffic management and to enable various users to be betterinformed and make safer, more coordinated and "smarter" use of transport networks. –>Prototypes of new ITS applications and services will be built and piloted to provide betterinformation to MoS Customers in several ports in the UK, Bilbao and Livorno.

MAIN BENEFITS:
Attica region ports will become a port cluster and PCS will be their common platform smallerports will upgrade their services according to European practices, improve their role in the portsistema with their modernisation while their participation in this pilot will be at no cost.
New prototypes dealing with data mining and decision-support services will be piloted anddemonstrated in the port communities of Piraeus, Livorno and Valencia. With PCSs beingneutral and open electronic systems involving both public and private stakeholders, particularattention will be paid to carefully respecting all confidential information. However, much of theinformation exchanged would not be confidential for the parties involved in the transaction andin many cases, general non-confidential data could be used for many purposes. For example, toprovide advantages to users as the information provided would be generated in real-time andwould be tailored to their request, providing users with tools to help increase theircompetitiveness.

Legal Framework:
Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2010 on
the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road
transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport.
• Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are advanced applications which, without
embodying intelligence as such, aim to provide innovative services relating to different
modes of transport and traffic management and enable various users to be better
informed and make safer, more coordinated and ‘smarter’ use of transport networks.
• ITS integrate telecommunications, electronics and information technologies with
transport engineering in order to plan, design, operate, maintain and manage
transport systems.
Port areas represent an interface between different transport modes
Weakness: Too many standards with no reference framework for interoperability and for system architecture design.
The expected benefits will be of:
• Creating a reference framework for the use of smarter solutions to enhance modal shift in port areas;
• Promoting data interchange among transport modes;
• Develop a transparent and user friendly environment for goods flows managmenet.
Objective of the initiative
OBJECTIVES:
ITS for ports and transport communitiesThis initiative is aimed at providing innovative services to streamline the modal shift taking placebetween different transport modes in port areas. Moreover the use of electronic means, whileincreasing the performance of the infrastructures itself by reducing waiting times andcongestion, will allow the users of the transport system to make more informed choices.

MAIN BENEFITS:
The team is made up of two ports and two port community specialistsand will handle three different prototypes:
One pilot in the Port of Livorno, who acts with IB Group asImplementing Body of the Italian Ministry of Transport, focused on givinga reference framework for ITS development in port areas through the useof Unified Modeling Language (UML);
One pilot will be implemented by MCP plc, aimed at enhancing theexperience of the users of the UK ports that are currently operating theDestin8 Port Community System.
One pilot in the Port of Bilbao, centered on the enhancement of thecurrent e-puertobilbao system for what concerns the Delivery andAcceptance Services and a specific mobile version of the transport order.

Current situation
16
The Ministry of Shipping and the Aegean has introduced a new
structural model that involves the establishment of regional port
clustering for better organisation and operational optimisation. In
this direction, PPA holding the leadership in the regional ports cluster
undertakes the initiative to integrate Attica Region ports in its PCS.
Enhances PPA’s role as a leader port, supporting smaller ports in the Attica RegionEnlarges the community of PCCS usersUpgrade of services with the support of advanced PCS
Improvement of the Attica ports’ role in the Port System due to their service modernisation upgradeAttica ports will have the ability to submit electronic documentsAll transactions will fully comply with interoperability and will be fully secure due to advanced technologyParticipation in this prototype has no cost implication for Attica ports

The main objective of the prototype is to exploit the vastamount of information obtained through the PCS, in orderto:
Easily create statistics to be used for reporting to towards the Port
Community and third parties.
Define KPIs that can be used for strategic decision making by the Management of the companies (e.g PPA- Neptune Lines – Global Maritime Agency – Attica Region Ports) for improving terminal operation, investment, attracting new customers etc.
Provide reports to its business community, useful and necessary for their business activities.
Create a secure and authorised environment for information dissemination, based on its nature (public & private)

PROTOTYPE 3
35
The main objective of the prototype is to apply new semi-automatic and automatic methodologies, as OLAP, Data Mining(and its related techniques), for gathering, extracting,transforming, loading and reporting data from the PCS system.
The idea is to create a data mart for each partner involved inthe prototyping (with the same agreed standard) and startingfrom these ones, to realise Transportation chain intelligence.
A three-tier Data Warehousing architecture
36
The proposed solution
The new reporting system will be started from the current database.Firstly, the relational database (schema, associations and instances) willbe analysed for verifying if a new data organisation is necessary fortrigging the path of data -> information.
Secondly, starting from the needs of the actors involved, the organiseddata (if necessary) will be analyzed for identifying the bestmethodologies and techniques useful for creating effective knowledge.
Afterwards, starting from the results of the analysis, the bestapplication, useful for generating reports, will be detected.
The previous path will be developed in: data->information->knowledge.
