The AUTOMOTIF project is at the forefront of advancing automation in multimodal transport systems across the intra-European network. Aiming to improve the interoperability and integration of automated transport systems, AUTOMOTIF seeks to transform the logistics supply chain, improving efficiency and sustainability through operational automation.
AUTOMOTIF is built around five S.M.A.R.T. objectives designed to address both the current challenges and future needs of freight transport:
- Operational automation requirements: Define and standardise the technological needs across different transport hubs to facilitate seamless freight movement, reducing environmental, social, and economic impacts.
- Simulation of automated systems: Execute comprehensive simulations in various settings (vessel calls, rail terminal operations, etc.) to validate the benefits and feasibility of automation in real-world scenarios.
- Impact assessment: Evaluate the economic, societal, and environmental impacts of integrating automated systems in multimodal transport.
- Investment and adoption strategies: Develop strategies to reduce the investment barriers and enhance the uptake of automated solutions within the logistics sector.
- Regulatory frameworks: Formulate and recommend policies to support the widespread adoption of automation technologies in multimodal freight transport.
