The paper deals with the design of a possible technical solution of utilisation of an autonomous (satellite) system of electronic toll collection in the framework of a logistic information system. The introduction is dedicated to general characteristics of autonomous electronic toll collection system and the state in the Slovak republic. The principles that were respected during the design are defined. Further the on board unit (UBU) is analysed and its specifications and restrictions, the communication OBU with the sensors (e.g. RFID) and OBU with tracking system is solved. Finally the overall description of the designed solution and possible multiple utilisation in practise is presented.
Article deals with the realization of equipment were energy-efficient integrated circuits, which are connected with intelligent sensors. This device is equipped with motion, vibration, acceleration, temperature, humidity and other sensors. Our equipment collects data during transport in the logistics process of the selected organization. Connected storage media were used for data storage and of course an integral part forms and battery power with sufficient capacity were applied. The collected data will be used to improve the organization of its services and the ability to identify the failure of the service at a specific point in the logistics chain through smart sensor package.
Car spare-parts must be frequently provided in after-sales service. Customers have great expectations in terms of the delivery and availability of spares. Orders realisation and flexible services are the most important among these expectations. The main aim of the paper is to consider two different distribution systems that occur in one entrepreneur. The reason of this consideration is to identify, which of the distribution systems is more effective regarding the order completion time and the level of customer service. In case of these aims realising, the simulation models analyses are proposed.
Recently, more and more are talked about the automation of air traffic control systems, which would allow relief work controllers. Methods or tools that allow for efficient and skilful management of air traffic are searched. The paper presents preliminary concept of the tool that would allow to schedule of aircraft landing at a given point and the scheduling is carried out taking into account the minimum separation between them. Separations are dependent on the types of aircraft. In addition, the program shows the routes by which the ship has to move in the area. The tool is dedicated to use in the TMA with little traffic, however, there are conducted further work, which would allow its use in sectors with far more traffic.
The purpose of the present paper – which is conceptual in nature – is to initiate discussion of the need for and feasibility of the measurement of the impact of IOT projects on supply chain effectiveness. PESTEL (Political, Economical, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal) factors relevant to supply chains are discussed, with a focus on the IOT. The main areas of IOT applications in logistics and supply chain operations and management are described. Existing literature in this field is reviewed, and the methods used so far to measure supply chain effectiveness are explained. The paper ends with a proposal for a new methodology for the measurement of the effectiveness of IOT deployments in the supply chain, addressing specific key performance parameters, such as reliability, speed, costs, flexibility, assets and environmental footprint, and levels of the supply chain: assets, operations, processes and business model. The article is not an exhaustive treatment of the subject; instead, it aims at initiating a scientific debate on the possible methods of measuring changes in supply chain effectiveness due to the implementation of IOT solutions. Only the initial stages of research into this topic are presented.
The article deals with the process of searching the optimal locations of logistic hubs in conditions of postal logistic network of Slovak Post. The research adopted in this article uses allocation models within graph theory to obtain results for addressed optimisation problem. The optimisation is based on demographic and economic characteristics of Slovak republic. Selected allocation models are applied on the road infrastructure with objective to determine the optimal location of postal hubs. The results can serve as a basis for modification of the used model for the simulation of logistic networks in the postal sector.
The paper provides a qualitative analysis of the proposal to introduce SWIBŻ (Polish naval information system) into creation of Polish Port Community System. The key information from SWIBŻ system is widely used by national administration and international commercial institutions in order to achieve expected level of shipping monitoring and control. The article highlights the possible role of the most complex and intelligent system for PCS. The analysis is principally based on the existing system. The analysis of the SWIBŻ system has to identify ways to introduce it in Polish Port Community System. Analysis run by the author indicates pros and cons of using SWIBŻ system into creation of PCS. However, the almost "complete absence of statistics" relating to the commercial activities of SWIBŻ system places severe limits on the analysis. System consist of the proper sensors (to achieve proper data and information), intelligent decision modules (to increase ability on decision making process) and some of type of effectors (to achieve proper level of data and information fusion and dissemination). Common use of this system by national marine administration would be a significant step in the way to create Polish Port Community System.
A comprehensive approach to the issue of logistics costs is key to the evaluation of the logistics processes’ efficiency. Despite systematically growing interest in the field of logistics activities only a small percentage of Polish economic entities maintain a register of logistics costs. Effective and well organised accounting allows for accurate determination of the total cost of logistics operations. The information on the incurred logistics costs, which greatly impact overall management, has an essential role in the decision-making process. The article aims to develop a practical model for the accountancy and reporting of logistics costs as well as carry out a critical analysis of the accounting methods employed by Polish enterprises/companies, with emphasis on isolation and registration of the costs of logistics. The analysis of the accountancy methods is based on an empirical study of business entities of the transport-logistics sector established in selected Polish provinces. The data used in the research has been collected from accounting records and during interviews at 75 chosen economic entities. The article concludes with a proposal of a practical, cross-sectional model for the accountancy of logistics costs.
