A Decision Support System for Cooperative Logistics

This contribution specifies a cloud based cooperative Decision Support System (DSS) that aims at integrating logistics management and decision support strategies for Intermodal Transportation Systems. The proposed DSS is dedicated to synchronize different transportation means by using the modern Information and Communications Technology tools and by taking into account environmental aspects. The paper describes the DSS cloud based architecture and presents the procedure to be followed in order to design a DSS able to support Decision Makers in different logistic decision fields.
