Strategic Mobility 21, Inland Port - Multi-Modal Terminal Operating System Design Specification

Abstract

Strategic Mobility 21 (SM21) is a Congressionally mandated applied research program through the DoD's Office of Naval Research, conducted under the auspices of California State University, Long Beach Foundation. This specification supports SM21 efforts in developing a dual-use-multi-modal node located at the South CA, Logistics Airport in Victorville, CA. Dual-use technology is defined as serving both commercial and military sectors. This Inland Port-Multi-Modal Terminal Operating System (IP-MTOPS) Specification identifies technical and functional requirements for procuring and integrating services required for a multi-modal node operating software system operating within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The specification will also be used to identify any remaining gaps requiring the development of specific services. The specification supports the development of an SOA that will enable efficient inland port operations by: optimizing logistics flows; helping to maintain desired productivity; and providing high service quality to strengthen customer relationships through up to the minute visibility of shipments and quick turn times.
