If you are a TMS provider dealing with unpredictable corridor closures — this project developed adaptive routing algorithms that provide real-time multimodal alternatives to minimize recovery time.
AI-Driven Real-Time Rerouting System for Resilient Multimodal Freight Transport
Imagine a GPS for shipping that doesn't just find the fastest route, but instantly switches your cargo from a truck to a train or barge if a road is blocked. It works like a giant digital air-traffic control for freight, ensuring goods keep moving even during crises. It learns from past disruptions to predict the best backup plans automatically.
What needed solving
Freight networks are vulnerable to disruptions, leading to long recovery times and high emissions. Current systems lack the real-time data integration needed to switch transport modes instantly when a crisis occurs.
What was built
A collaborative digital platform featuring adaptive routing algorithms, a multimodal transport ontology, and a secure real-time data pool.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a trucking SME dealing with high emissions and rigid routing — this project developed a collaborative platform that enables synchro-modal relay-transport to reduce emissions and increase efficiency.
If you are a civil protection agency dealing with emergency logistics during disasters — this project developed a secure real-time data pool to orchestrate rapid crisis response pilots on key corridors.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for using this system?
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures are mentioned as this is a research and innovation action.
Is the solution ready for industrial scale?
The project is testing its tools via pilots on major corridors like North Sea-Baltic and Rhine-Danube, indicating a move toward industrial scaling.
Who owns the IP and how is licensing handled?
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project focuses on creating a standardized modelling language for Europe-wide acceptance.
How does this integrate with existing logistics software?
It is designed to support TMS-providers by providing a common ontology and a secure real-time data pool for better coordination.
What is the timeline for full deployment?
The project period runs from 2023-07-01 to 2026-06-30, suggesting the final validated tools will be available by mid-2026.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 13 industrial partners (57% ratio), including 7 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 5 research entities and 1 university across 5 European countries, suggests the project is driven by market needs rather than pure theory.
