== Ecologicality of modes of transport == | |||
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. | |||
== Figuring out transportation distances == | |||
''' Commercial ''' | |||
*[ | * [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/overview 'Google Maps Platform -> Web Services -> ''''Distance Matrix API'''' at developers.google.com] | ||
''' 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]].
