Abstract

CORE is a research project co-funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme. CORE"br" analyses the aspects related to the use of advanced technologies for the freight transport and the logistics, to"br" enhance the visibility and improve the security. The project implements various pilot demonstrations to prove and"br" make concrete verifications in real use cases and along European and intercontinental logistic chains. One of the"br" CORE’s pilot demonstrations concerns a solution integrating GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems)"br" technologies for tracking & tracing the intermodal transport of chemicals and gas throughout road-rail paths across"br" Europe. The developed solution is operated in real business cases/operations and evaluated through KPIs (Key"br" Performance Indicators). In this paper, first an overview of the role of GNSS technology for tracking & tracing"br" the transport of dangerous goods is given, then the CORE solution and demonstration, and the KPIs for the relevant"br" evaluation and assessment, are presented.

Abstract

Part 3: Smart City Interoperability and Cross-Platform Implementation; International audience; The sustainability of urban logistics is an important issue for rapidly growing cities worldwide. Although many cities and research works have developed strategies to move people more efficiently and safely within the urban environment, much less attention has been paid to the importance of optimizing the delivery of goods to people at work and home taking into account sustainable goals. In this work we propose a framework that aids to register and measure a set of sustainable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for delivery routes and plans in urban zones. The approach is general and based on a set of well defined KPIs from the specialized research field. Document type: Conference object
