Empty Container Information System (ECIS): Concept of Operations
Study
Transport Canada, Port Metro Vancouver, TransLink and the
British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure
are partnering to conduct an ECIS Concept of Operations Study.
In broad terms, the goal of the Study is to advance a framework
within which technology, industry stakeholders and agencies
collaborate to enable exchange of information that would support
optimization of off-dock Gateway transport and logistics in
Metro Vancouver.
The objectives for the ECIS Concept of Operations Study are to:
-Advance the ECIS concept to a more detailed functional
assessment and validation.
-Develop an ECIS architecture.
-Validate the ECIS concept through deeper and broader
stakeholder consultation.
-Evaluate the merits of the ECIS for the public and private
sectors.
-Develop an implementation plan for execution of a Pilot Project.
The Concept of Operation Study is expected to provide a clear
path to delivering the concept presented in the Proof of Concept
Study, in the context of the considerations raised. The Concept
of Operations should clearly describe what ECIS will do, how
ECIS will work, and the potential roles of stakeholders in ECIS.
Additionally, this study is expected to narrate a process to
deliver an ECIS Pilot Project. While a potential functionality
of an ECIS Pilot Project is outlined in the Proof of Concept
report, other ideas may also be explored.
As part of the proposal, the Consultant is expected to develop a
Work Program.
The final Technical Report must be delivered by June 30, 2013.
