Information Systems for London Transport

Information Systems for London Transport

Introduction

The main purpose of this paper is to make an analysis on the information system which is used for the Transport for London. The paper makes an analysis on the different information systems and the ways through which the TFL plan minimize the disruption to the athlete's and the general public. The paper also gives reflection about the history of games, and the traffic problems faced by London in history, and how these experiences have helped shape London's response and the information systems being used are important.

Discussion

Transport has changed considerably in the last twenty years. Among the many factors behind this evolution, the development of logistics in industrial and commercial companies, coupled with the movement of deregulation and deregulation of the transport sector, is probably one of the most significant. The transport sector in its own right is indeed one of the many operations that make up the supply chains organized by companies who ship, receive and transfer products. The choice of transport modes, the organization and pace of trade for them, therefore results in an overall design of the physical movement. In fact, one can not separate transportation logistics, or the "pull" (or the actual transportation) operations "related" (handling, storage ...). On the one hand, the supply of transport (particularly through factors: price, availability, speed, reliability, flexibility, operating constraints) wants to build some logistical arrangements and has a particular impact on the number of industrial sites and logistics, their location, inventory levels or frequencies of restocking. On the other hand, practices and principles of logistics transportation suggest, even demand it, changes to better meet the "demand" businesses and their customers (Bovy, 2011, p. 8).

To study the relationship between information system logistics and transport, it seems important to present the main trends in logistics, especially in the field of information systems. For if the logistics, defined as "technology" (as combining technical knowledge and organizational practices) of "flow management", focuses primarily on physical flows (that is to say the flow of goods from raw materials and packaging waste, through the in-progress, finished goods, spare parts, products POS - advertising at point of sale - as well as products to be recycled), it is thanks to information flow she manages to "fly" physical flows. The information system and communication (denoted hereafter CIS) becomes the central element of the logistics. Supply chains are inherently multi-stakeholder and multi-site, the SIC main mission is to ensure consistency of these complex sets of operations as companies seek to synchronize. It occurs at all stages of decision making: forecasting and planning activities, initiation of movement, monitoring and steering movements, control and evaluation of operations and organization (UEFA, 2010, p. 55).

The evolution of information technology and communication (denoted as ICT) has radically evolved information systems, particularly in logistics. Information technology, telecommunications networks, systems, database managers (DBMSs), identification systems of logistics units, the optical reading systems, data interchange (EDI), Internet technologies are all which enable faster and more ...
