Prozessdiagramme und klare Anweisungen unterstützen die Fahrer*innen dabei, alle Schritte und Verantwortlichkeiten zu beachten und technische Probleme während der Übergabe zu bewältigen.
In 2021, economic losses due to supply chain disruptions in the Eurozone amounted to €112.7 billion Euro: Natural catastrophes (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and wildfires) multiply in the wake of climate change. The risks of pandemics, trade restrictions, cyber-attacks, and geopolitical conflicts are omnipresent. Hence, the threat of disruptive events to the European transport network grows ever greater. Additionally, GHG emissions can drastically increase by up to 50% if disruptions are not treated efficiently. Here, the project “Resilient multimodal freight transport network” (ReMuNet) comes into play: ReMuNet will enable the multimodal freight network to react and respond 20% more quickly to disruptive events and help to reduce European inland transport emissions on the main run by over 50% by 2026.
As a trailblazer for the Physical Internet, the project pursues the vision to enable and incentivize synchro-modal relay-transport on European rail, road, and inland waterways to increase holistic network resilience. ReMuNet can identify and signal disruptive events and assess their impact on multimodal transport corridors. It reacts quickly to disruptive events in real time. It supports TMS providers to improve route planning resilience by communicating alternative, pre-defined, multimodal transport routes. ReMuNet orchestrates route utilization, suggests transshipment points, and optimizes capacity allocation, minimizing damage and shortening the recovery time. This paper introduces ReMuNet and its vision, objectives, and expected results.
In long-distance road freight transport, capacity utilization of semi-trailers is less than 30 % due to mandatory steering and rest periods. Truck parking spaces are overcrowded while resulting parking search traffic leads to additional emissions. At the same time, the acute driver shortage and customers' expectations of ever faster functioning supply chains force the highest efficiency in transport means and personnel. Multi-carrier relay-transport represents an approach to solving these problems and exploiting untapped efficiency potentials: Via a digital platform, long distances are intelligently divided into short route sections which are distributed among different carriers. At predefined switching points, the asynchronous handover of semi-trailers to rested drivers takes place. To enable a secure cross-company physical handover, IoT-locking mechanisms play a crucial role. This paper details the asynchronous handover process and introduces the technical design of an IoT-lock which provides effective theft protection while the trailer is parked and reliably connects tractor and semi-trailer during transport. Based on an analysis of stakeholder requirements, software functionalities and mechanical properties of the IoT-lock are derived, which ensure effective theft protection as well as real-time data transmission for relay transports. In addition, legal requirements for asynchronous transfers are investigated to determine liability in case of damage or loss. These form the basis for digital handover protocols that record the condition of the freight and trailer during the handover process.
Data Management Plan
(2024)
The aim of this deliverable, the Data Management Plan, is to provide a comprehensive overview of the way data is handled throughout the ReMuNet project. Derived from the template provided by the European Commission, its structure ensures alignment with recognized standards. Anticipated to be updated twice more during the project's lifecycle, this document functions as a dynamic guide, articulating the approach to data integration, refinement, and security within the ReMuNet platform. In providing a transparent and comprehensive understanding of data management practices, insights into relevant data sources and processing procedures are offered. This is achieved by applying the FAIR principles, followed by detailed explanations of data security measures, encompassing General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This marks the first periodic report, covering only the initial six months of the project, during which concrete work on the platform has not yet commenced. Consequently, data regarding algorithms or similar technical aspects is not available. Instead, the focus has been on
conducting qualitative interviews and surveys as part of the efforts for Work Package 1: Developing European multimodal transport ontology and classifying disruptive events and their impact on transport networks. At present, the dataset primarily consists of a small amount of data points collected from these qualitative interviews and surveys. However, it is crucial to emphasize that additional data, sourced from diverse channels, will be integrated into ReMuNet’s dataset moving forward. Notably, these interviews were conducted collaboratively with HANKEN, and the joint survey is a co-production with ReMuNet’s sister-project SARIL, that was funded by the European Union under grant agreement ID 101103978. Each of these entities maintains its own data security policies. Leveraging these collaborations has enabled both projects to reach a wider
audience and gather more pertinent data. Furthermore, the commitment to adapt and refine practices is reflected in the periodic updates anticipated throughout the project's lifecycle. These updates will address evolving project needs and the increasing diversity of collected data. Ultimately, this deliverable serves as a
valuable resource for project beneficiaries, offering a transparent understanding of methodologies for working with various data types. It fosters transparency and confidence in the integrity and security of the information driving the ReMuNet project.
Future-Proofing Freight
(2024)
The European transport landscape, which is increasingly burdened by the risk of natural disasters, pandemics and geopolitical conflicts, requires a rethink in designing and managing of its multimodal transport networks. The Resilient Multimodal Transport Network (ReMuNet) research project is a response to this problem and a beacon of hope for innovation and strategic thinking. This extended abstract provides an overview of the ReMuNet project, in which, after an introduction, the methodology and results are presented.
Das moderne Produktionsmanagement als Organisator der Entscheidungen und Prozesse in der industriellen Auftragsabwicklung ist ein zentraler Baustein zur Umsetzung der Nachhaltigkeitswende. Seine Aufgabe besteht darin, nachhaltige und kreislaufwirtschaftliche Prozesse durch den geeigneten Einsatz von effizienten IT-Systemlandschaften zu fördern und umzusetzen. Die Digitalisierung dient dabei als zentrales Element der Umsetzung ökonomischer, ökologischer und sozialer Unternehmensziele.
The first work package of ReMuNet establishes the theoretical foundation for the project by investigating the impact of disruptive events on transport chains and analysing mitigation options. It lays the foundation for common standards to describe sustainable European multimodal transport networks for all stakeholders and presents a requirements-based reference for the technical development of the digital solution components, such as the collaborative platform and the routing algorithm. As integral part of the first work package Task 1.1 aims to develop an in-depth understanding of the relevant stakeholders within the multimodal transport ecosystem. It is led by FIR Institute for Industrial Management at RWTH-Aachen in collaboration with Humlog Institute at Hanken School of Economics, MANSIO GmbH, Fraunhofer Austria, Hafen Wien GmbH, White Research SRL, UIRR s.c.r.l., Vediafi Oy, Danish Red Cross, and ETP-ALICE. The research undertaken in this task uncovers the existing impediments that actors within multimodal transport encounter in the event of disruptions. Drawing from stakeholders’ experience with previous disruptions Deliverable 1.1 explores existing strategies and contingency plans and deduces specific stakeholder needs to increase preparedness for future events. Understanding the needs of multimodal transport stakeholders will help shape the outcome of the ReMuNet project by addressing technological requirements, business-related concerns, and regulatory constraints. In addition, the sustainability efforts of various stakeholders are highlighted and the potential for reducing emissions through the comprehensive use of digital tools is analysed.
The findings outlined in Deliverable 1.1, "Needs analysis of relevant stakeholders for the European multimodal transport network," are crucial for the development of digital modules. Recognising and meeting the requirements of key stakeholder groups is fundamental to ensuring the ReMuNet solution is practical, sustainable, and widely accepted.
The stakeholder analysis was conducted using desk research, surveys, and semi-structured interviews with experts to evaluate the value generated by key stakeholders, pinpoint challenges, and ascertain their roles within the multimodal ecosystem. In addition, collaborative digital and physical workshops have been organised involving industry experts and consortium partners. The workshops served as a platform for in-depth discussions, and offered the opportunity to challenge assumptions, and refine project details. The gathered insights include information from representatives involved in the immediate transport chain such as freight forwarders carriers, terminal operators, and other relevant entities. Additionally, adjacent stakeholder groups including government bodies, industry associations, and non-governmental organisations such as environmental groups, have been examined.
Given ReMuNet's piloting focus on the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridors North Sea-Baltic (CORR 2) and Rhine-Danube (CORR 9) within work package five, particular emphasis was placed on stakeholders operating in these geographical areas. Based on studies conducted on European intermodal freight transport a methodology has been developed to estimate the intermodal potential of TEN-T corridors. Supplemented with up-to-date corridor-specific data on freight volumes, modal splits, transport infrastructure etc. this methodology enables the estimation of freight volumes that could be transported intermodally, and consequently the potential for emission reduction.
The ReMuNet project aims to enhance the resilience and sustainability of European freight transport networks in response to disruptive events. By utilizing synchromodal relay transportation, it integrates multimodal logistics approaches to improve network efficiency and adaptability. Core functionalities include the detection and assessment of disruptive events, real-time route planning, and the use of AI to optimize multimodal transport routes. ReMuNet's collaborative platform fosters stakeholder coordination, ensuring capacity allocation and sustainable transport options. Pilot regions focus on geopolitical and ecological challenges, emphasizing lessons from past disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative aligns with the European Physical Internet vision, contributing to reduced emissions and robust freight logistics.
