The main challenge addressed in FTMAAS (Freight Traffic Management As A Service) is the integration of logistics and traffic management information. Digitalization is progressing quickly in both areas, but operational connections and synergies are scarce. The mission of the FTMAAS Living Lab is to connect these two subsystems by developing, implementing and testing integrating software applications that benefit both worlds. The Living Lab focuses on the International Freight Corridor South (Rotterdam-Venlo) and manages 3 main running cases and 6 research subprojects. Research focuses on questions of value creation, analytics and optimization of both logistics and network level traffic management.
Dankzij digitalisering maken logistieke processen een efficiencyslag door. Een specifieke groep van toepassingen bevindt zich in de afstemming tussen logistiek en verkeer. Enerzijds kunnen logistieke planning en –uitvoering op verkeersomstandigheden worden geoptimaliseerd; anderzijds kan verkeersmanagement baat hebben bij informatie over transportprocessen. Tot nu toe ontwikkelen deze werelden zich gescheiden, en ontbreekt het aan een programma waarin systematisch alle raakvlakken worden verkend en kansrijke applicaties worden ontwikkeld. Het programma brengt deze werelden bijeen en ontwikkelt het concept van “verkeersmanagement voor goederenvervoer als dienst” zodat kansrijke toepassingen en de voorwaarden voor realisatie in beeld komen.
