Imagine a travel booking site, but for shipping heavy goods across Europe by train instead of truck. It helps companies find the best rail routes, calculate how much pollution they save, and handle the boring legal paperwork automatically. It's like a digital matchmaking service that makes switching to trains as easy as booking a hotel.
Freight customers lack transparent information on rail options, making road transport the default. Additionally, the lack of a single transport document convention creates legal friction and operational delays in intermodal shipping.
A web platform with an interactive map, CO2 calculator, schedule viewer, and a blockchain-based smart contract toolbox for standardised transport agreements.
If you are a Logistics Service Provider dealing with complex paperwork across different countries — this project developed a contract toolbox and blockchain-based specifications that simplify transport agreements.
If you are an Industrial Shipper dealing with high carbon footprints for shipments over 300 km — this project developed an interactive map and CO2 calculator to identify rail alternatives that lower emissions.
If you are a Combined Transport Operator dealing with fragmented legal documents — this project developed harmonised and standardised models for transport contracts to improve digital compatibility.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing model mentioned for the end-user; the project was funded by an EU contribution of EUR 1,299,750.
The project is developing a web platform and piloting blockchain specifications, but based on available project data, it is currently in the development and piloting phase rather than full industrial scale.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not provided, though the platform is based on an existing map by SGKV.
The project analyzes the legal and policy framework of intermodal transport to propose harmonised and standardised contract models that reduce enforcement problems.
Integration is achieved through a web platform featuring a schedule viewer, match making tool, and digital smart contracts for better compatibility between operators.
The consortium is well-balanced for a technology transfer project, consisting of 9 partners across 5 countries. With a 33% industry ratio (3 industrial partners including 1 SME), the project blends academic research from 2 universities and 3 research centers with practical commercial application, ensuring the digital tools meet real-world logistics needs.
