load matching systems coordination Quintuple
Bidirectional?: True
load matching systems coordination (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Drayage Operations Optimization Service' application object and the 'Other Freight Distribution and Logistics Centers' physical object. In this case, there is only a single Layer 2 flow associated with this interconnect, so the Layer 1 application interconnect name and the Layer 2 information flow name are both 'load matching systems coordination'. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.
Freight Distribution and Logistics Center (Source Physical Object): The 'Freight Distribution and Logistics Center' provides intermodal logistics support and support for the efficient distribution of freight across transport systems and modes. This can include consolidation arrangements, warehousing, and consignor-to-consignee intermodal shipping arrangements. These capabilities may be provided as part of intermodal fleet management activities or can be provided by an independent logistics specialist.
Drayage Operations Optimization Service (Source Application Object): The "Drayage Operations Optimization Service" provides a portal for shippers and receivers to post their loads in need of transport and provide an opportunity for commercial vehicles to find a load to haul on their trip back to/from an intermodal facility. It connects load matching services with container and chassis/equipment availability information and appointment/reservations services from the intermodal terminals to provide an optimized, regionally integrated view of intermodal container transport for drayage operators.
Other Freight Distribution and Logistics Centers (Destination Physical Object): Representing another Freight Distribution and Logistics Center, 'Other Freight Distribution and Logistics Center ' provides a source and destination for information exchange between peer centers. It enables sharing of intermodal logistics support information between centers.
