Project description
Sustainable solutions for freight transport operators
As European freight transport continues to grow, there is an increasing need for sustainable solutions. The EU-funded ReMuNet project aims to develop innovative methods for detecting and promptly notifying disruptions, as well as assessing their impact on multimodal transportation routes. The project’s real-time response to such events is designed to be efficient. Moreover, it will collaborate with transport management system (TMS) providers to bolster the resilience of route planning. This project is at the forefront of the Physical Internet movement, with the goal of streamlining and incentivising synchro-modal relay-transport across European rail, road, and inland waterways. This approach enhances network resilience, reduces emissions, and improves efficiency during disruptions in freight transport corridors. It also assists freight operators to devise alternative routes.
Objective
ReMuNet identifies and signals disruptive events and assesses their impact on multimodal transport corridors. It reacts quickly and seamlessly upon disruptive events in real-time. It supports TMS-providers to improve route planning resilience. ReMuNet communicates alternative, pre-defined, multimodal transport routes to logistics operators and subsequently to truck drivers, locomotive drivers and barge captains. Through this, it enables a faster and adaptive multimodal network response. ReMuNet orchestrates route utilization, suggests transshipment points and optimizes capacity allocation, minimizing damage and shortening the recovery time.
What is ReMuNet’s core objective?
As trailblazer for the Physical Internet, ReMuNet pursues the vision to enable and incentivize synchro-modal relay-transport on European rail, road, and inland waterways to increase the holistic network resilience. It significantly reduces emissions and boosts freight transport corridor efficiency in case of disruptive events.
How will ReMuNet achieve this?
1. A standardized method to describe multimodal transport networks. The proposed standard is derived from existing approaches and developed together with critical stakeholders to ensure Europe-wide practicability and acceptance
2. An algorithm capable of calculating multimodal route alternatives and capacity utilization in the face of disruptive events. It uses real-time data for dynamic synchromodal alternative route planning
3. A collaborative platform connecting relevant freight operators and enables them to manage disruptions. This is done by providing secure and resilient digital logistic and network management tools enabling alternative route planning information and orchestrating event-based synchromodal relay transportation
4. Using Reinforcement Learning to model and evaluate alternative courses of action, providing the basis for a self-learning, adaptive multimodal European freight transport and logistics network
