Abstract

One of the biggest challenges today in the transport of goods on the world is the problem called “last mile logistics”. This is a problem concerning the final stage of transport of goods to the customers. The role of information in the last mile logistics acquired from freight transport planners has been presented in this paper. This paper contains a detailed comparison of existing Open Source software solutions for freight transport planning. This paper also provided grounds to perform one of tasks defined under the international S-mile project implemented within the framework of the ERANET Transport III “Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chain” programme analyzing how different technologies should be modified in order to fulfills all the S-mile project objectives. In the paper the results of the analysis to identify the best freight transport planner to use in the S-mile project have been presented.
