AI-Driven Real-Time Rerouting System for Resilient Multimodal Freight Transport

transportPilotedTRL 6

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.

The business problem

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.

The solution

What was built

A collaborative digital platform featuring adaptive routing algorithms, a multimodal transport ontology, and a secure real-time data pool.

Who can put this to work

Logistics & Freight Forwarding
enterprise
Target: TMS (Transport Management System) providers

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.

Road Haulage
SME
Target: Trucking SMEs

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.

Public Safety
any
Target: Civil Protection Organizations

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.

Frequently asked

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.

Consortium

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.
