The 1st white paper – Towards an Integrated System for Global Transport Tracking presents a conceptual solution for tracking and tracing transportation on a global scale.
The approach focuses on defining data flows and formats based on the latest versions of GS1 standards. Importantly, this means that so long as each system conforms to the guidelines, a global solution can be comprised of any number of separate systems that are rolled out over time and the systems can choose which parts of their data to share and with whom. The white paper will thus inevitably focus on some of the technical details because these shared details are crucial to avoid the need for a centralized system that stores and controls all the private data.
In short, the proposed solution focuses on defining shared data formats and flows which allows the system to function as a flexible collection of individual systems that keep control of their hardware, software and collected data.
