The Pol-Corridor project was set up to investigate the establishment of a new freight transfer corridor linking the Nordic countries with Southeast Europe. The corridor will rely on a fast rail freight connection, the Blue Shuttle Train, which will carry cargo between logistical hubs in Szczecin, Poland and Vienna, Austria. The project included the construction of the Pol-Corridor IT service architecture, mapping of the existing and prospective IT systems onto the Pol-Corridor architecture to determine which services were needed, what services would satisfy the needs and what kind of systems were missing. The mapping exercise showed that architectures could be used for benchmarking commercial systems.
