## 3 Methodology of Construction of Architecture of e-STMS Based on IoT and WSNs
The modern terminal is characterized by container traffic and integration into the logistics network, in which land, rail, and sea transport ways are integrated. The efficiency of the terminal is greatly affected by its ability to establish contacts with areas further on, allowing goods to reach their destination quickly. In addition, the EU promotes speeding, safety, and the rationalization of freight transport by other modes of transport through several initiatives. The integration of ICTs started in the year 2000 with solutions, which included the emergence of web services (XML) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) [89]. These smart devices were connected using the convergence of many technologies having wired connections to the Internet, integrating systems using sensors, and communicating with IoT technology platforms [90]. The challenge of intelligent ICT systems integration arises because of their complexity and the need to adapt technologies for new logistics requirements [91]. To revise the impact of intelligent ICT usage in the communication of terminals, we have to figure out specific requirements and then find out how the application of ICT will fulfill these requirements [92]. ICT became a fundamental element [93; 94], taking into account:  
* logistics process is considered an integrated process used for value creation;
* reducing expenses of operations in the chain;
* communication between the companies;
* improvement of performance;
* ICT is also available at accepted quality level (or performance level) and transmission service (or interoperability service). In principle, the projection and realization of integration could be treated as a task for applying various intelligent ICT-based systems working in a concrete sequence of management stages. The main objective of innovative ICT is to help manage terminals' work by integrating tasks and resource allocation (humans and machines) in many repeated cases. It is not enough to provide employees with appropriate innovative ICT tools. However, with the provided infrastructure, they take into account such links between the different activities of different employees and improve their cooperation and execution of all stages of any workflow. Describing models could support conceptual solutions of describing conditions to perform tasks in an integrated way [95]. ICT is part of executive models, which are used for implementing process cases on supporting by ICT platforms [96]. It could effectively suggest alternatives to management or technical decisions in multiple cases. Various workflow models could be combined and captured, thus creating a coherent environment for integrating complex mutual behaviour [97]. An approach to assessing improvements is an advanced ICT application in logistics terminals. First, there is a literary review of intelligent ICT for terminals. Secondly, the assessment model used to evaluate the impact of both ICT-based solutions: RFID and WSN at terminals, will be suggested. The modeling results show that it is possible to save performance lead time and the use of resources significantly. The proposed approach depends on the terminal and the ICT solutions considered to be carried out for the feasibility study. The implementation of intelligent ICT aims to solve various problems of terminal management. It is recognized that vertical solutions, which involve sensors and gears to control the terminal yard, have been used since the 2008. The paper [98] shows examples of port logistics that benefit from investments in intelligent shipyard management techniques and semi-automatic or automatic technologies managed remotely. Automatically connected controlled machines (AGVs) and automatic loading cranes (ALCs) can increase container movement speed. Automatically connected controlled machines are robotic vehicles that drive on a predetermined road identified by electrical wires inserted into the network. ALC moves along the rails and is managed by the centrally organized system.
