ReMuNet addresses vulnerabilities in Europe’s freight transport network by creating a digitally integrated, multimodal system that is both realistic and standardized. The project develops a unified framework—including a common ontology and robust data management protocols—to improve coordination among diverse stakeholders such as freight forwarders, terminal operators, SMEs, and civil protection organizations.
Key project objectives include: • Establishing comprehensive standards for a uniform modelling language (KO#1). • Reducing inland transport emissions by promoting lower-emission routes and evaluating alternative drive technologies (KO#2). • Enhancing network responsiveness to disruptions through advanced, real-time routing algorithms (KO#3 and KO#4). • Expanding participation in the multimodal ecosystem, especially by integrating SMEs (KO#5). • Improving predictive accuracy of disruptive impacts using AI-supported models (KO#6). • Supporting civil protection logistics (KO#7). • Creating a unified, secure real-time data pool to support decision-making (KO#8).
Early developments—such as a multimodal transport ontology, dynamic routing algorithms, and an integrated data pool—provide the technical foundation for increasing network resilience and efficiency. Practical use cases, including optimized synchromodal relay transport and rapid crisis response pilots on key corridors like North Sea-Baltic and Rhine-Danube, demonstrate the project's societal, economic, and environmental benefits.
By combining data-driven decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and innovative technology, ReMuNet lays the groundwork for regulatory alignment, policy support, and future investments in sustainable and resilient European freight transport.
