last edit: 2021-03-22 Oliver Kundt

Description

Today's communication between railway undertakings and their service partners for the first and last mile is mainly paper-based: Wagon lists and train pre-advices are exchanged by hand, fax or email. The smart service "WDI Enhancement" aims to achieve the following:

• The railway undertaking which is operating a train should provide relevant information (concerning consignment, wagons and trains) to his partners which are managing the first and last mile. In return, the partner should be able to provide information concerning wagon and train status in a high quality and via standardised messages and interfaces
• The first and last mile processes should be supported by appropriate user interfaces (web interface, mobile interface)
• The service partner should be able to export documents and information via appropriate functions and service AP

Use Case
