The safety of our logistics services is a top priority for the European logistics network. The drivers and other employees of the member companies of the European network for logistics and the personnel of the freight forwarders comply with the specific safety requirements for the vehicles and for all drivers on the specific roads to the destination point.
Another main objective which the companies providing the international freight services have set for themselves includes the optimization of the groupage services, the complete loads and contract logistics freight forwarding services they provide in Europe. This optimizing includes the easy to use mobile payments, the use of interactive maps and finding fee parking spaces.
The use of modern methods and technologies to improve the safety
The new, state-of-the-art technologies are beneficial for all services, including logistics. They are essential for ensuring complete safety. The vehicles provided by the freight forwarders Europe are equipped with modern technology which minimizes the risks for the safety of the cargo during the forwarding service.
The improvement of the safety of the freight forwarding services leads to additional benefits
The use of modern technologies which provide control and ensure the safety of the logistics services provided by forwarders throughout Europe results in the optimization of the routes and the speed of the transport in different areas. This leads to lower fuel consumption, which results in lower prices for the forwarding services as well as fewer harmful emissions which have a negative effect on the environment.
Systems for control of the forwarding process
The new technologies for the control of the transport allow for the management and optimization of the speed of a vehicle based on the route, the turns and the speed limits in any given moment.
Active brake systems
The active brake systems implemented allow for constant control of the possible obstacles on the specific road and route of each vehicle. The control can be provided for up to 200m forward on the road from the vehicle. When a warning for a possible incident is detected, the active brake system is activated so as to prevent collisions.
Lane departure warning systems
These systems provide control of the proper location of the vehicle in the lane via the special detectors and markers on the lanes. They allow for control over the lane used by the driver, and prevent the accidental departure of the appropriate lane while driving.
On-board control systems
These on-board control systems allow for continuous control of the drivers of the vehicles by tracing their routes and transmitting video of the driving.
Mobile apps for easier navigation, mobile payment and parking
The mobile applications used by the drivers of the vehicles of the freight forwarders network allow them to use mobile payment for gas stations as well as interactive maps which allow for finding parking spaces and paying for parking.
These mobile apps help the drivers when passing though big European cities by providing them with real time data about the traffic and alternative routes to avoid heavy traffic.
Navigation and payment done with the help of mobile devices are becoming growingly popular. The International forwarders network also implements the use of mobile devices and applications for better navigation and easy and quick mobile payments as another way to improve the quality and level of the freight forwarding services provided.
