If you are a terminal operator dealing with unpredictable cargo delays and security gaps — this project developed a digital Control Tower that provides shared visibility of threats to keep goods moving.
Cyber and Physical Security Control Tower for Freight Transport Infrastructure
Imagine a giant air traffic control center, but for cargo ships, trains, and trucks. Instead of just watching planes, it spots digital hacks or physical break-downs before they freeze the whole supply chain. It connects different companies so they can warn each other about dangers in real-time.
What needed solving
Freight transport networks are vulnerable to cyber and physical attacks, and because they are interconnected, a failure in one country can crash the entire European supply chain.
What was built
A digital Control Tower platform with embedded business intelligence and a set of risk-reduction tools and guidelines.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a security provider dealing with hybrid threats to transport hubs — this project developed advanced tools and guidelines that reduce risk for critical infrastructure operators.
If you are a port authority dealing with cross-border disruptions — this project developed technological solutions tested in 5 diverse pilots to prevent network-wide shutdowns.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price of the solution?
Based on available project data, the specific cost or pricing model for the tools is not mentioned.
Is this ready for industrial scale?
The project is testing its approach through 5 diverse pilots, including three leaders and two followers, to demonstrate effectiveness before full scale.
How is the IP and licensing handled?
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP rights or licensing terms.
Does this help with EU regulations?
Yes, it aligns with the CER Directive and Council Recommendation 2023/C 20/01, focusing on protecting transport as a key sector.
When will the results be available?
The project period runs from 2024-09-01 to 2027-08-31.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 10 industry partners and a 48% industry ratio. It involves 21 partners across 7 countries, combining the expertise of 4 research centers and 2 universities, indicating a strong push for practical, market-ready tools rather than pure theory.
