A virtual transport enterprise (VTE) is a temporary alliance of independent transport enterprises that come together to share resources, skills, and costs, supported by Information and Communication Technologies, in order to better attend market opportunities. To design an efficient and flexible VTE that presents the semblance of a single enterprise to the customers, is a very complex task. There are an extensive set of approaches to help in the co-ordination of the different objectives during of the design and execution of a single enterprise. However, they do not provide the specialized tools for the integration of VTE's. This paper shows a Reference Architecture that is being developing focused on the virtual intermodal transport enterprise. This Architecture guide (1) in the design of high quality business process, with an information flow connecting the services in the transport chain and (2) in the development of an integrated system of management. The architecture is composed of a methodology, a reference model, a performance measurement system, an information and communication infrastructure and a set of computer engineering tools.
