Abstract

Stena Line Freight is a company with one of Europe’s largest freight route networks connecting ports, roads and rail. Today it is of much importance that the salespeople at Stena are able to present their customers with not only affordable but also eco-friendly solutions. The scope of this project was to implement a fundamental web application to compare carbon footprint between transporting goods by lorry on the roads compared to using Stena Lines intermodal routes, which means transporting goods by train and ferry, with the possibility of future further development. The project workflow was divided in sprints applying the Scrum framework and the MVP development strategy to reach the project goals. The results was a web application with environmental optimization of Stena Line freight routes, with an algorithm that can find the nearest intermodal route. The final product was developed in React using JavaScript and JSON to store data. Additionally Google API:s were used to retreive and calculate necessary route data and emissions.
