The Connection Orchestration layer manages the “Connective Tissue” of the intermodal network, ensuring that rail, road, and maritime legs function as a single, synchronized chain.

​
1. The “Zig-Zag” Flow

Orchestrating non-linear journeys where cargo moves between multiple nodes and transport modes.
  • Interchange Logic: Defining the rules for how a unit is handed over from a truck to a train, or a train to a vessel.
  • Buffer Management: Calculating mandatory “Buffer Times” at nodes to prevent minor delays in one leg from collapsing the entire chain.

​
2. Trip Generation Orchestration

Automated creation of operational “Viaggi” (Trips) based on periodic connection templates.
  • Bulk Instantiation: Generating weeks of operational capacity based on a single connection blueprint.
  • Resource Balancing: Ensuring that the number of scheduled trips matches the forecasted availability of the rail fleet.

​
3. Cross-Link Visibility

Ensuring that commercial teams in Centrico can see the full multi-leg connectivity of a service.
  • Hop-by-Hop Visibility: Drill-down from a high-level service into the specific traces and hauler mandates that make up the connection.
