| | What we need to find to figure out the transportation costs are: |
|
| |
|
| == Ecologicality of modes of transport ==
| | * Usage of fuel/kg/km transported for all transport types |
| | | * Database of distances between places. I'm sure the [[logistics]] companies have this information, but are they going to give it to us if we ask is a different question. So if you know of any open content sources to get road/railroad/ship/airtravel distances between places it would be most welcome. We could approach this by finding these distances coutry-by-country and then linking countries together using [[UN/LOCODE]] bordercrossing points as nodes to tie the countries networks together. |
| Sea vessels are basically very ecological even if the transported distance goes into the thousands or tens of thousands of km.
| |
| | |
| Rail traffic is practically free, at least for heavy cargo, to operate once the huge investment of building a rail network is done.
| |
| | |
| Trucks consume a lot of fuel, especially for heavy things. Studies have found that the larger the truck is, relatively it consumes more energy.
| |
| | |
| Airplane is the most unecological way to transport things as the CO2 footprint is very high for aircargo.

| ''' Non-commercial '''

| So if you know of any open content sources to get road/railroad/ship/airtravel distances between places it would be most welcome. | |
| | |
| == Figuring out energy efficiency ==
| |
| From '''[[w:Energy efficiency in transport]]''' we can figure out the transportation costs are if we know the [[logistics]] route: Usage of fuel/kg/km transported for all transport types
| |
| | |
| == Ship tracking ==
| |
| Various ship-tracking services exist that get their data feed from '''[[w:Automatic identification system]]s'''. AIS tracking become mandatory on all ships since 2004 <ref>http://www.vesseltracking.net/article/free-ais-ship-tracking-web-sites</ref> as [[w:International Maritime Organization|IMO]] requires ships over 300 [[w:gross tonnage]] to install an AIS [[w:transponder]] on board. The transponder transmits vessel position, SOG and COG (speed and [[w:Course (navigation)|course]] [[w:Ground speed|over ground]]), ship name, ship size and next [[w:Port#Port_of_call|port of call]].<ref>http://www.marinetraffic.org/marine-traffic</ref>
| |
| | |
| AIS uses '''[[w:Maritime Mobile Service Identity]]''' codegroups for ship ID
| |
| | |
| The '''[[w:National Marine Electronics Association]]''' (NMEA) is a US-based marine electronics [[w:trade association|trade organization]] setting standards of communication between [[w:marine electronics]].
| |
| | |
| An '''[[w:ENI number]]''' (European Number of Identification or European Vessel Identification Number) is a registration for ships capable of navigating on inland European waters. It is a unique, eight-digit identifier that is attached to a [[w:hull (watercraft)|hull]] for its entire lifetime, independent of the vessel's current [[w:ship naming and launching|name]] or [[w:flag state|flag]].
