Technical Requirements of the e-Waybill Service
Shoaib Bakhtyar, Johan Holmgren, Jan Persson · International Journal of Computer and Communication Engineering · 2015
An electronic waybill (e-Waybill) is a service whose purpose is to replace the paper waybill, which is a paper documents that traditionally follows a consignment during transport.An important purpose of the e-Waybill is to achieve a paperless flow of information during freight transport.In this paper, we investigate five e-Waybill solutions, that is, system design specifications for the e-Waybill, regarding their non-functional (technical) requirements.In addition, we discuss how well existing technologies are able to fulfil the identified requirements.We have identified that information storage, synchronization and conflict management, access control, and communication are important categories of technical requirements of the e-Waybill service.We argue that the identified technical requirements can be used to support the process of designing and implementing the e-Waybill service.
