CO-GISTICS
Using smart technology to improve efficiency and protect the environment
With the CO-GISTICS pilot project, we are seeing what happens when transport operators use the same cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for all their logistics. We are testing it out in seven cities, using five efficiency boosting services.
Road freight transport has grown hugely in the last couple of decades, and some great tools have been developed to manage logistics. But until we link all these tools up, the whole system won’t be as efficient as it could be.
Five services, seven cities
We’ll be using cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and strengthen road and cargo security. Seven carefully chosen cities involved in this pilot project are:
Arad, Romania
Bilbao, Spain
Bordeaux, France
Frankfurt, Germany
Thessaloniki, Greece
Trieste, Italy
Vigo, Spain
These cities are trialling five services:
Intelligent truck parking and delivery areas management
Helps to optimise vehicle stops along each route, delivery of goods in urban areas and interaction with other transport modes.
Cargo transport optimisation
Helps plan and coordinate the different kinds of transport used during logistics operations.
CO2 footprint monitoring and estimation
Measures the CO2 output of vehicles and gives an estimate of what CO2 emissions to expect from each specific cargo operation.
Priority and speed advice
Saving fuel, reducing emissions and helping heavy vehicles to have as efficient movements in urban areas as possible.
Eco drive support
Helps truck drivers to make their driving style more energy efficient – using less fuel and lowering their CO2 emissions.
Managing data
All the data used in the project – around emissions, logistics, etc, will be managed online, in ‘cloud’ services. Such online platforms will enable smaller companies and individual users to access the necessary information remotely. In addition, on-board units and roadside units will support the large flow of information that will be exchanged during the pilot, and allow all stakeholders to process useful data around the entire freight logistic process.
