Date and Time
14/06/2022, 12:00 - 18:00
Data2Move is teaming up with FTMAAS – Freight Traffic Management as a Service! FTMAAS is a unique Living Lab bridging the worlds of traffic and logistics.
We are setting up an interactive program on how traffic data, from real-time ETAs to planned roadwork data, can be used in day-to-day operational activities. We will discuss both the potential benefits as well as the many hurdles of integrating traffic and logistics in practice.

Pilot 1: Navigating around roadworks
It is no surprise that roadworks seriously complicate the transport planner’s work. How disruptive are roadworks for transport and logistics? And how do planners take roadworks into account in their day-to-day transport planning? In the pilot, data on roadworks will be available to the planner in the Transport Management System. The planners can then decide whether to reroute trucks. We’ll find out how often they do so, and what the impact is on the chosen routes. An important question is how the roadwork data is best shared with planners. Is it best to simply make the data visible in the dashboard, or is it better to incorporate it in the route optimization of the Transport Management System?

Pilot 2: What’s in that truck?
In large distribution hubs, unloading the wrong truck at the wrong dock seriously complicates parcel handling on the floor. However, pre-assigning trucks to docs for efficient parcel handling requires knowing when a truck will arrive, as well as what’s in the truck. Combining real-time truck location data with the e-CMR facilitates just that. In the pilot, the carrier will use a tracking app to provide a gps status update and ETA to the distribution hub. This will help people at the hub to update their dockplanning and re-assign docks to incoming trucks as they deem convenient. Expected results are shorter waiting times and a more streamlined receipt process.

Pilot 3: Stuck on the road
In chemical refineries, trucks constantly come and go to pick up products such as fuels and plastics. Refineries are typically located close to ports, which are busy traffic hubs. Antwerp, for instance, is known for its almost constant state of traffic jam. It is thus no surprise that the slot planning is under constant motion, adjusting to trucks coming in earlier or later than planned. What are the benefits – better slot utilization, reduced waiting time, and less CO2 emissions – if the slot booking system received real-time ETA data from connected trucks on their way to the plant?
