- COG-LO – COGnitive Logistics Operations through secure, dynamic and ad-hoc collaborative networks The main goal of COG-LO, an innovative project on ICT logistics solutions funded by the European Programme Horizon 2020, was to create the framework and tools to implement cognitive and collaborative ICT solutions on future logistics processes, embracing many contexts and environments. By exploiting COG-LO, it was possible to achieve several benefits, such as: increase the load factor, reduce the cross-border parcel delivery costs, reduce the ratio between distance covered by the logistic vehicles and the number of pickups, implement quick adaptive response management to dynamic customer requirements. The project outcomes were validated in three different pilots, covering multi-modality, inter-country deliveries and urban logistics operations. The international partnership involved 14 public and private actors working both in transportation and ICT fields across eight European countries. TRT leaded WP2 (Cognitive logistics framework), capitalizing on its vast experience on freight transport and logistics research projects. It also brought its long experience in the field of quantitative analysis, strategic planning, KPIs assessment by supporting the technological requirements analysis in one of the pilots developed along the project (the EKOL case on intra-terminal operations and multimodality solutions).

- End-to-End Approach for Mobility-as-a-Service tools, business models, enabling framework and evidence for European seamless mobility MaaS4EU project’s objective is to explore the concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) which represents a radical change in the mobility sector. In this concept the mobility integrator (MaaS Operator) brings together differents mobility service providers (Mobility Service Provider) and provides the end-users with access to an integrated digital interface (MaaS4EU Mobility Platform), allowing them to plan and pay for their trips in a one-stop-shop. Maas4EU aim is to deeply analyze the possibilities for the implementation of the Maas concept and set the framework by defining sustainable business models that support the cooperation across transport stakeholders, understanding user needs and choices, implementing the required technological infrastructure and identifying the enabling policy and regulatory frameworks The project focuses in particular on the four key aspects related to: TRT’s activities within the MaaS4EU project mainly focused on supporting the design of the Business Models related to the 3 pilot projects. TRT analysed the legal and policy framework enabling the MaaS ecosystems. TRT was also responsible for the communication and dissemination activities of the project. MaaS4EU foresees 3 real life demos in the following areas: Budapest (Toll Service is the MaaS operator) (Urban & Cross-border trips) Greater Manchester (TFGM is the MaaS operator) (Urban & Intercity trips) Luxembourg (SLA is the MaaS operator) (Cross-border & Urban trips) For more information MaaS4EU – Pich presentation MaaS4EU – Brochure Final conference and video recording of the event Paper: Mobility-as-a-service: insights to policymakers and prospective MaaS operators Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning – Topic Guides, Guidelines for developing and implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (2nd edition) – Year 2019 Making European cities greener, Towards clean and smart mobility – Horizon 2020 – Year 2019 [tw_button icon=”” link=”http://www.trt.it/en/projects/” size=”small” rounded=”false” style=”flat” hover=”default” color=”#223468″ target=”_self”]Projects[/tw_button]
- REFLEX, a project funded by the Horizon 2020 EU research program, focused on the analysis of the European Energy System under the Aspects of Flexibility and Technological Progress The core objective of the REFLEX project is to analyse and evaluate the development towards a low-carbon energy system with a focus on flexibility technologies in the EU to support a better system integration of Renewable Energy Sources. The project, lead by University of Dresden (Germany), identifies and assesses the most relevant low-carbon technologies and flexibility options in the mobility, heat and electricity sectors for a sustainable and cost-effective transformation of the European energy system. The analysis is based on a modelling system that considers the full extent to which current and future energy technologies and policies interfere and how they affect the environment and society while considering technological learning of low-carbon and flexibility technologies. In the REFLEX project TRT provides expertise in the analysis of the impact of flexibility and technology options on mobility and transport. Both diffusion of alternative technologies in the vehicle fleet and energy and transport policy measures have been considered to analyse the decarbonisation pathway in the transport sector. To this end, the ASTRA system dynamic strategic model simulates the transport system in linkage with the economy, the environment and the energy systems. It is therefore capable to represent long term impacts of transport policies not only on mobility but also on wider aspects such as economic growth or greenhouse gas emissions. In comparison to all other energy sectors, the transport sector increased its GHG emissions since 1990. These emissions need to be reduced by 2050 by at least 60% relative to 1990. Considering the continuous growth of passenger and freight transport demand, strong and timely responses are required at the policy level. Within the REFLEX project, a reference scenario (Mod-RES) and two ambitious policy scenarios (High-RES) are simulated with the ASTRA model (under consideration of global learning for batteries through coupling with the TE3 model) and flexibility potential provided for the electricity sector. Results indicate that a bundle of complementary measures (boosting transport system energy efficiency, supporting the electrification of road transport and promoting alternative fuels )is required to support and accelerate the transition.

- U-TURN – Rethinking Urban Transportation through advanced tools and supply chain collaboration The U-TURN project, funded by the European Commission as part of the strategic HORIZON 2020 program, aimed to identify new models for urban food transportation based on collaborative logistics, with the objective to reduce the environmental impacts of food deliveries in urban areas, providing new innovative low-impacts transport solutions. The project was developed by a consortium with European-wide coverage and involvement of top industrial, academic, consulting and technology partners to propose and test innovative business models to achieve more efficient operations – both environmentally and economically. During the project, a “smart” transport matching tool and a collaborative web platform were developed and tested by 3PLs, online retailers and local farmers to measure the impact of collaborative logistics practices. TRT, in addition to the research and methodological activity, led the Italian pilot case, focusing on the farms located around Milan, with the objective to optimise the transport distribution flows from the farms to the city centre through collaborative logistics solutions. Local food producers around Milan have a high preference for using their personal vehicles to transport goods rather than co-operating, therefore TRT proposed and tested, through the web-based platform, new collaborative business models addressing farmers’ requirements and actual challenges faced by the km-zero food market sector. During the project, TRT involved local farms and public stakeholders, driving the development of the pilot case, to demonstrate the opportunity to cut down travel distance, number of vehicles and their environmental impact, allowing the farmers to save time for their core business activity by introducing the collaborative logistics concept in rural areas.
