ATROPINE - Fast to Track to the Physical Internet

Topic outline

  • Project Summary, Objectives and Expected Impacts

    Collapse all Expand all


    ATROPINE aims to join forces with research and corporate partners to create a Physical Internet model region in Upper Austria. Partial areas of this concern, for example, ′smarte′ load carriers, which can communicate with means of transport and/or shippers and transporters, and innovative business models, which promote the idea of a ′Sharing Economy′ Overall, the benefits of a Physical Internet system lie in the development of a more efficient and sustainable cooperation model for the transport of goods in order to minimise transport costs, increase productivity and reduce energy consumption at the same time. The ATROPINE project gives companies and research institutions in the Upper Austrian economic region the opportunity to be among the first in the new research field ′Physical Internet′ and to develop expertise.

    • Logistics Nodes

      ATROPINE dealt with a so-called ‘intelligent container’, a charge carrier equipped with radio and sensor technology, which could record quality and general monitoring data for the loaded goods.

    • Logistics Networks

      ATROPINE develop a “PI platform” calculating transport proposals and order-related value-added services (e.g. to compare and conclude general and long-term insurances).

    • Access & Adoption

      Demonstration and evaluation (via a simulation with data from shippers by the end of 2017) revealed a significant optimization. The total mileage in the ATROPINE network was reduced by up to 25% and costs by up to 15%.

    • Governance

      ATROPINE develop a “PI platform” calculating transport proposals and order-related value-added services (e.g. to compare and conclude general and long-term insurances).
