GENIUS: 6G connEcted eNvironments for logIstics and mUltimodal tranSportation

Objective

The impact of successive generations of mobile networks in industry has always been strong on the Transport and Logistics (T&L) sector, as it emerges naturally as one of the areas where transformation runs deeper, and efficiency and security gains have been increasing since it was first possible to make a phone call on the move. Still, it is also a sector where all kinds of mobility challenges keep bringing requirements for new functionalities and services to enable automated transportation and logistics.
With 5G, many issues were addressed. Besides increased bandwidth, reduced latency, and higher connection densities, the expansion of the ever-increasing processing capacity towards the Edge of the network and the support to non-public networks are examples of features of major importance to the automation of the T&L sector. Meanwhile, as 6G standardization progresses, the promise of even more bandwidth, less latency, higher density, or NTN integration, will bring new opportunities towards better efficiency and automation, and will enable new and better services.
GENIUS will integrate logistics, multimodal transport and automation within the 6G ecosystem to deliver transformative benefits across efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of supply chains. Ultra-reliable low-latency communications will enable continuous monitoring and synchronization of goods across heterogeneous transport modes, supporting seamless coordination at hubs such as in a crowded city, ports and airports. Leveraging 6G-enabled digital twins and AI-driven optimization, multimodal networks will dynamically adapt to disruptions, optimize mode-shifting decisions, and reduce both operational costs and carbon emissions in line with European Green Deal objectives. These capabilities will strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy in logistics while enhancing competitiveness and resilience in global supply chains.
