Digital and Automated Multimodal Nodes and Corridors

Innovation Area B - Digital and Automated Multimodal Nodes and Corridors

  • Description
    In line with the Digital Transport & Logistics Forum’s (DTLF)
    digitalization strategy, MultiRELOAD transforms intermodal freight nodes into interconnected data platforms to connect actors, physical and digital infrastructure, assets, resources and services on three levels: terminal, node and corridor creating a truly integrated transport and logistics network. These innovations support the ongoing shift to multimodal service optimization, creating door-to-door transparent supply chains by enabling tracking of freight locations and better and more efficient use of resources. Communication between the equipment thereby increases the use of standardized, interoperable ITU’s and IoT related services that are digitally accessible and bookable (WP3).
  • Specific aims
    increase operational efficiency within multimodal inland terminals and supply chains through corridors by 20 % raise of handling capacity by 2025.
  • Challenges
    Inland Ports are the key for multimodal transport chains, both continental and maritime transport. Without efficient nodes in the hinterland multimodal transport is not possible. However, as inland multimodal freight nodes are often located in dense urban areas, where extra space is not available (or extremely expensive), the constraints and barriers are much higher in inland ports (e.g. demand, investments) than in seaports. Using space and energy sustainably requires an increase in operational efficiency by raising handling capacity through automation and digitalization. Inland ports thus need targeted solutions to support optimizing existing assets & infrastructures to expand their throughput & reduce costs.
