Description du projet
Une stratégie 5G pour faire évoluer les services de transport et de logistique en Europe
La notion de transport s’applique au déplacement des marchandises, tandis que la logistique désigne la phase de gestion, du fabricant à l’utilisateur final. Le secteur européen du transport et de la logistique (T&L) est l’un des principaux à adopter la 5G. Toutefois, parvenir à faire passer les services alimentés par la 5G des étapes pilotes à la phase de production dépend de la disponibilité d’outils flexibles et intuitifs pour la conception, la gestion et l’orchestration des services. Le projet VITAL-5G, financé par l’UE, créera une installation d’expérimentation ouverte, virtuelle et flexible, composée d’une plateforme virtuelle intelligente, de trois bancs d’essai 5G européens distribués et d’une infrastructure verticale associée, afin de permettre les tests et la validation d’applications de réseau T&L dans des conditions réelles, en utilisant la connectivité 5G.
Objectif
The VITAL-5G proposal has the vision to advance the offered transport & logistics (T&L) services by engaging significant logistics stakeholders (Sea and River port authorities, road logistics operators, warehouse/hub logistic operators, etc.) as well as innovative SMEs and offering them an open and secure virtualized 5G environment to test, validate and verify their T&L related cutting-edge Network Applications (NetApps). The combination of advanced 5G testbeds (offered through participating MNOs / vendors) with vertical specialized facilities and infrastructure (offered by participating key logistics stakeholders) through an open service validation platform (repurposed and created by the project) will create a unique opportunity for third parties such as SMEs to validate their T&L related solutions and services utilizing real-life resources and facilities, otherwise unavailable to them. The platform will provide to 3rd party experimenters, the necessary testing and validation tools, offering them a trusted and secure service execution environment under realistic conditions that supports multi tenancy. Such an elaborate validation mechanism will allow for the further refinement and fine-tuning of the provided services fostering the creation of new services and the evolution of existing ones, while boosting the SME presence in the emerging 5G-driven logistics ecosystem.
The VITAL-5G proposal plans to showcase the added-value of 5G connectivity for the European T&L sector by adopting a multi-modal approach containing major logistics hubs for freight and passengers (sea ports, river ports, warehouse / logistics hubs, highways, etc.) as well as the respective stakeholders (road operators, port authorities, 3rd party logistics (3PL) operators), thus creating an end-to-end chain of connected T&L services accommodating the entire continent.
