TransformingTransport unveils its latest Big Data pilot results and technologies at ICT 2018
TT was honoured by visits from high-level personalities, including Claire Bury, Deputy Director-General DG CNECT of the European Commission, Ingolf Schädler, Deputy Director-General of the Austrian Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology, as well as Gail Kent, Director of Directorate “G” Data, DG CNECT of the European Commission. These and other key stakeholders were keen to learn about the different pilot projects and what they mean to the future of transport in Europe. In particular, 4 of TT's 13 pilots demonstrated their most ground-breaking results at the event. The Smart Passenger Flow pilot (https://bit.ly/2RxY9WU(si apre in una nuova finestra)) revealed how airports can predict aircraft delays, improve transfer times, improve day-to-day airport operations and even enhance commercial activity and the airport. In parallel, TT’s Smart Turnaround ETA Prediction pilot (https://bit.ly/2stPpCj(si apre in una nuova finestra)) underlined how it can improve aircraft turnaround time, which in turn minimises operation costs and increases passenger satisfaction. The third pilot, Shared Logistics for e-Commerce (https://bit.ly/2FGZovV(si apre in una nuova finestra)) demonstrated to visitors at the event how Big Data can upgrade e-commerce logistics practices. It specifically showed how analysing Big Data can support all stakeholders in the logistics supply chain, from shipping companies and warehouses to online retailers and final consumers. Alternative shipping options that could bring many benefits to e-commerce were also discussed. In the area of road transport, the Load Balancing Pilot – Norte Litoral (https://bit.ly/2SZGV1o(si apre in una nuova finestra)) showed how analysing Big Data is already optimising highway operation on the Norte Litoral highway in Portugal. The pilot team displayed advanced Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology and equipment (so far used only in the rail sector) at the exhibition booth, demonstrating how existing optical fibre buried along the highway can detect road vibrations and identify traffic-related incidents. All the newly showcased technologies and software solutions from the four pilot projects generated a significant amount of interest at the booth, highlighting what the future of more efficient sustainable transport will look like. In the morning of the second day of the conference, TT participated in a key networking session entitled Impact of the Data-Driven AI in business sectors (https://bit.ly/2TgJ356(si apre in una nuova finestra)). The project coordinator, Mr Rodrigo Castineira (INDRA) presented the latest results emerging from the project, its innovations and solutions, which are set to improve European transport on multiple levels.
