Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

Ports are essential for the European economy and for economic growth; 74% of goods exported or imported to the EU are transported via its seaports . At the same time, the challenges they face are only getting greater: Cargo volumes are increasingly higher – with an expected 57% rise by 20301 – while they are also arriving in a shrinking number of vessels: the next generation of Post-Panamax vessels have a capacity of more than 18k containers; ‘put onto trucks, these containers would stretch in a single line from Rotterdam to Paris1. Cargo volumes are not just increasing, cargo flow types are also changing due to technological trends, such as Industry 4.0. Moreover, cargo port operators need to comply with increasingly stricter environmental regulations and societal views for sustainable operations.

5G-LOGINNOV proposed a strategic, innovative framework addressing integration and validation of technologies as part of an overall architecture representing a subset of 5G network functions. 5G-LOGINNOV was supported by 5G technological blocks, including new generation of 5G terminals for future Connected and Automated Mobility(CAM), new types of Internet of Things-5G devices, data analytics, next generation traffic management and emerging subsets of 5G networks functions, for port areas and city-ports to handle upcoming and future capacity, traffic, efficiency and environmental challenges. 5G-LOGINNOV project hasl also implemented and deployed a GREEN TRUCK INNITIAVE using CAD/CAM & automatic trucks platooning based on 5G technological blocks. It implemented beyond state of the art innovations that increased efficiency and optimized land-use, while being financially viable, respecting circular economy principles and being of service to the urban environment.

The 5G-LOGINNOV vision paved the way towards efficient freight and traffic operations at ports and logistics hubs by using new innovative concepts, applications and devices supported by the disruptive 5G technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, next generation traffic management, CCAM (Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility) 5G logistics corridor. The next generation ports and logistics hubs operation systems will also use the integration of future autonomous truck platoons.
5G-LOGINNOV supported the new generation of 5G-CAD terminals, new type of IoT-5G connectivity devices through technical solutions, business models and priority scenarios by deploying new CAD and Logistics as a Service in real-life port-city areas.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

5G-LOGINNOV has achieved above expectations and submitted its objectives against all deliverables and milestones (as planned for M39) as follows:
WP1 has contractually started in Month 1 of the project. Moreover, WP1 activities have been initiated immediately after the grant agreement was signed, so as to ensure that such large-scale project will run since the beginning in very good conditions.
The goal of WP2 was to develop, integrate and roll-out the necessary 5G infrastructure, technology, equipment and devices for the logistics hub and port operations. And to develop and integrate new innovative applications and promising solutions.
WP3 has started in the reporting period 2021 with for the defined tasks: T3.1 Specify a framework for the operation of LL trials and evaluation (Month 6); T3.2/3/4 Specify LL trial scenarios and test cases, operate test cases (Month 10); T3.5 Evaluate and assess the LL trial data for operation optimization (Month 10); T3.6 Evaluate and assess the social, economic and environmental impacts (Month 10). All deliverables have been submitted in due time.
The objectives of WP4 were: 1)to analyse current and future market linked to 5G core technologies that are addressed in the 5G-LOGINNOV Living Labs (products, services, and solutions at TRL7 or beyond) to exploit the potential of 5G in the logistics sector; 2)to provide opportunities to new actors (start-ups) and established actors (SMEs) to create new businesses and emerge in the market. 3)to define the gaps between the current and future market scenarios. 4)to involve new and established actors (start-ups and SMEs) in the development of new products and services based on 5G core technologies. 5)to provide market strategies for new stakeholders. 6)to facilitate the introduction of 5G technologies in logistics operations.
Furthermore the WP5 objectives were: 1)Implement an effective communication plan to raise the project’s visibility through digital and social media; 2)Define a dissemination strategy to raise awareness, create understanding, foster involvement, and generate commitment among the project’s target stakeholders; 3)Devise an exploitation plan to ensure the development and sustainability of the 5G-LOGINNOV results beyond the project’s life; 4)Identify standardisation and spectrum gaps and cooperate with the relevant standardisation bodies and spectrum allocation bodies to propose responses to the identified gaps.
WP6 consisted of 5 tasks: T6.1: Administrative and financial coordination; T6.2: Technical coordination; T6.3: Innovation management; T6.4: Data management; 76.5: Risk & quality management. In P1, four deliverables have been submitted (D6.1 D6.2 D6.4 and D6.6) and one milestone has been met(MS1)-all activities have been performed according to the initial working plan.
WP7 consists of 3 tasks: T7.1:H-Requirements No.1; T7.2: POPD-Requirements No.2; T7.3: GEN-Requirements No.3.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

5G-LOGINNOV focused on the following seven 5G-PPP Thematics and support to the emergence of a European offer for new 5G core technologies in 11 clusters of Use cases beyond TRL 7(TRL8, even TRL 9 for some):
Progress beyond the state of the art:
1. (Vehicular) T1: Autonomous driving (car, truck) – uRLLC traffic type
2. (Vehicular) T2: Drone applications – URLLC, mMTC traffic types
3. (Multimedia-4K streaming) T4: Precise positioning based on the 5G technical features and improvements relative to 3/4/5G—eMBB, uRLLC
4. (Industry 4.0) T8: Sensors for monitoring (low-power devices, surveillance camera) – mMTC
5. (Industry 4.0) T7: Supply chain – mMTC, uRLLC
6. (Industry 4.0) T8: Dynamic Traffic Management with reactive response times-mMTC
7. (B2B) T9: Router, CPEs -eMBB
In this section a few examples of use cases are presented as follows:
Predictive analytics for dynamic port asset management Current SotA(TRL5-6); 5G-LOGINNOV Truck Platooning System Current SotA(TRL5-6); Cloud-based market place and chassis brokerage platform Current SotA (TRL5);
5G-LOGINNOV Management and Network Orchestration platform, Device Management Platform Ecosystem Current SotA(TRL 5/6). Potential impact:
5G-LOGINNIV has managed to bring tangible and substantial benefits to the 5G & INDUSTRY4.0 & logistics industry by addressing, improving and leveraging supply chain visibility in the current fragmented market environment at the European and international level. 5G-LOGINNOV increased the competitiveness, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and profitability, decreased costs and created a framework for expanded opportunities for vertical and horizontal collaboration and stronger partnerships. This was accomplished by capturing and leveraging actionable cross 5G technologies and used to improve transport and logistics business processes. In addition, 5G-LOGINNOV facilitated the EU policy by implementing UCs in the areas of predictive maintenance, CCAM within TEN-T corridors.
