Resilience-centric Smart, Green, Networked EU Inland Waterways

Project description

Making inland waterway transport greener and more sustainable

Hundreds of cities and industrial regions in Europe are connected via waterways, facilitating the transport of goods and bridging the gap between producers and consumers. Inland waterway transport (IWT) is energy efficient and reliable, with huge potential for further exploitation, but there is still room for it to become more sustainable. The EU-funded ReNEW project will bring together key actors from 11 EU countries who will systematically work towards this goal. The consortium will develop a resilience and sustainability decision-support framework that will inform measures and solutions towards greener IWT options, including suitable infrastructure. Moreover, a digital twin model will enable the exchange of information between relevant systems, and outreach and upscale activities will create maximum impact towards smarter, greener IWT.

Objective

ReNEW represents a multidisciplinary group composed of 24 participants from 11 countries of the European Union capable of playing a key role in supporting the transition of IWT to smart, green, sustainable and climate-resilient sector. To achieve this, the project will build on previous results, will capitalise on cooperation opportunities with ongoing projects and initiatives and will deliver:
1. An interdisciplinary IWT Resilience and Sustainability decision-support framework incorporating innovative models for IWT infrastructure networking interdependencies linking to probabilistic risk and safety analyses and resilience quantification
(Resilience Index), supporting the identification of short- and long-term measures that enhance resilience utilising SOA building blocks from Reference Projects
2. Targeted innovative infrastructure resilience and sustainability solutions building on autonomy developments and maturing green energy options;
3. A Green Resilient IWT Dataspace and generic Digital Twin providing primarily data sharing between infrastructure monitoring, RIS and traffic management and emergency systems and climate solutions;
4. Four Living Labs designed to provide exemplars from a) LLs focusing on integrated IW and hinterland infrastructure [Gent-urban, Douro- corridor, Netherlands – EU network perspectives] and a LL addressing specifically inland waterway resilience;
5. ReNEW Outreach and Upscale activities designed to maximise impact pathways.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
