Abstract

In transportation of heavyweight and oversized cargo, e.g. 100 tons Power Transformer, from the factory to a final destination can be a complicated task which involves planning, transporting, and arrival unloading and installing processes. This research developed a new end-to-end logistic management algorithm, HOCTA, supporting the transportation of heavyweight and oversized shipment in the context of time, location personals, communication and the business regulations involved from the process of disassembling, routing survey, shipment preparation, real-time management of transport to the destination, unloading and assembling the transformer. This logistic management system is to help reduce the mistakes preparation and execution. The architecture and the HOCTA software support the process planning and monitoring the travel on main route, providing context information to avoid obstacle during the transport. Traffic condition, thieves and coordination between the point of origin and destination. In the event that the unforeseeable circumstance occurred, secondary route will be taken. The context will provide useful information for the shipper in decision making whether to use the original or secondary route and once the shipment has reached the destination, the business rules and regulation involved during the inspection, the process of unloading shipments, storage and the supervision of installation process according to the company standards.
