Smart Enforcement of Transport Operations

Project description

Connecting ports, inland waterways, and roads seamlessly

In the realm of transportation, managing the labyrinth of unstructured data and enforcing safety regulations is a daunting task. The challenges lie in handling diverse data sources, languages, and administrative burdens. With this in mind, the EU-funded SETO project will develop a digital solution that streamlines the access to essential information for authorities, all at the press of a button. This addresses the complexity of handling diverse data sources ranging from paper records to digital files. It reduces administrative burdens and time constraints while enhancing control efficiency and consistency. Using state-of-the-art information exchange technologies, SETO will seamlessly connect ports, inland waterways, and roads. It will also pioneer technologies like enhanced global navigation satellite systems.

Objective

"SETO will deliver an innovative digital solution that will allow authorities to access all information required for the smart enforcement of transport and safety legislation in real-time using the one-click principle. This will address the significant challenge of handling unstructured transport data from different streams (paper and digital), sources, and languages, reducing the administrative burden/time while achieving increased control efficiency and consistency. SETO will utilise state-of-the-art information exchange technologies and expand the system to multimodal transport (e.g. port to the inland waterway to the road). The project will validate its comprehensive ecosystem technically and economically in a Pilot Living Lab designed for future pan-European scaling. In particular, SETO will develop innovative technologies for direct enforcement of overloaded road vehicles using weigh-in-motion (WIM) and on-board weighing solutions. The project will also introduce technologies based on enhanced global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to enforce lane positioning and cabotage regulations. Our deployment of the connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) technologies will allow SETO to estimate the carbon footprint of the transported goods, leading to effective policies concerning their import and export. Moreover, the project will explore different business models and build a business case for both the operators and the authorities to utilise SETO's unified system of information exchange. SETO will address the inclusion of different stakeholders and their under-represented groups (e.g. self-employed or foreign drivers, small SME's, women in transportation) in its activities to characterise the social practices emerging from enforcing such digital tracking systems. SETO seeks to foster the collective intelligence of all stakeholders to build a viable system based on ""incentives"" rather than forcing its adoption."
