Structure of databases of the EPLOS system on road transportation and railway infrastructure

Abstract

The article describes the results of research in the field of identifying the structure of databases on road infrastructure and railway infrastructure prepared for the EPLOS system (European Portal of Logistics Services). EPLOS is a tool that supports the planning of logistics processes and their implementation by providing in one place the current and verified data necessary for TSL market participants. This system is created as part of the EUREKA initiative. The following parts of the article describe: the role of databases in the application of logistics-dedicated applications and research results on identifying the needs of TSL market participants regarding EPLOS system databases with linear transport infrastructure, as well as the scope of road network data, the scope of railway network data and the integrated concept databases for the EPLOS system.
