Abstract
The common access to the broadband Internet allows small and medium enterprises (SME) to joindifferent cooperation network. For over decade European Commission in order to fulfill the obligations of sustainable policy promote intermodal transportation. Despite all these efforts the utilization rate of road transportation is still growing reaching last year 76,9%. Intermodal cargo may be carried out in one and the same loading unit or vehicle, on the whole route from the sender to the consignee using the different modes of transport. Planning and coordination of intermodal transportation requires participation of different companies. The main problem still is lack of consistency between processes which are undertaken by various supply chain participants. The aim of this paper is to propose the concept of broader cooperation between intermodal transport process participants based on semantic web and multi-agent system. The application of semantic web and multi-agent system allows to improve the information exchange among different companies and better intermodal transport planning and coordination.
