Presentation and objectives

Big Data will have a profound economic and social impact on the mobility and logistics sector, which is one of the most used industries in the world, contributing to approximately 15% of GDP. Big Data is expected to generate a value of $500 billion at global level in the form of time and fuel savings and savings of 380 megatons of CO2 in mobility and logistics. With freight transport activities projected to increase by 40% by 2030, the transformation of current mobility and logistics processes to be significantly more efficient will have a profound impact. A 10% improvement in efficiency can lead to EU cost savings of 100 billion euros. Despite these promises, interestingly only 19% of EU mobility and logistics companies employ Big Data-based solutions as part of value creation and business processes. The TransformingTransport project will demonstrate in a realistic, measurable and replicable way the transformations that Big Data will bring to the mobility and logistics market. To this end, TransformingTransport validates the technical and economic feasibility of Big Data to reshape transportation processes and services and to significantly increase operational efficiency, deliver an improved customer experience and foster new business models. TransformingTransport will address seven pilot fields of major importance for the mobility and logistics sector in Europe: (1) Smart Highways, (2) Sustainable Vehicle Fleet, (3) Proactive Rail Infrastructures, (4) Ports as Smart Logistics Hubs , (5) Efficient Air Transport, (6) Multimodal Urban Mobility, (7) Dynamic Supply Chains. The TransformingTransport consortium combines the know-how and solutions of Europe’s leading IT and technology providers, together with the expertise and experience of Europe’s leading industry players in the field of mobility and logistics. TransformingTransport will pursue the following main objectives:

  • Objective O1 “Piloting”: Execute effective large-scale piloting and specific demonstrations of the transformative character that existing and very close to market Big Data technologies can bring about in the mobility and logistics sector, covering all relevant transportation modes. As well as multi-modal and transversal processes with strong impact and relevance of Big Data solutions.
  • Objective O2 “Value”: Show concrete, measurable and demonstrable evidence of the value of the data that can be achieved at mobility and logistics in terms of significant increase in (i) operational efficiency of processes and services by at least 15%, (ii) customer experience, and (iii) new business models for the mobility and logistics sector.
  • Objective O3 “Reusability”: Demonstrate the generic nature of Big Data solutions developed by TransformingTransport, showing how they can be reused (including with adaptation) and replicated across use cases and domains of application.
  • Objective O4 “Scalability”: Ensure that the Big Data solutions developed in TransformingTransport will operate at the scale of the envisioned mobility and logistics processes, as well as the volume and velocity of data by the end of the TransformingTransport project, meaning more than 55,000 GB , More than 25 GB / day and more than 20 different data sources on average per pilot by the year 2020.
  • Objective O5 “Engagement”: involve at least 120 key European industry players, both large and SMEs, as well as Big Data providers and Big Data users, and relevant public bodies in sector trials and demonstrations of TransformingTransport.
  • Objective O6 “Transfer”: Implement the effective knowledge transfer, dissemination and leveraging of lessons learned and best practice examples, as well as standardization and policy recommendations to facilitate the doubling of the use of Big Data solutions in the mobility sector and logistics from the current 19% To at least 38%.
  • Objective O7 “Market Impact”: Strengthen both the position of EU big data providers and sectorial companies to participate in offers and opportunities for business in the mobility and logistics market, combining sectorial and domain expertise with ICT knowledge. market share of up to 600% (72% on average) and/or absolute market share of up to 12%.
  • Objective O8 “Sustainability”: Establish a robust plan for sustainability actions to ensure the availability and lasting impact of TransformingTransport results during the Big Data Value PPP funding period and beyond.
  • Objective O9 “Mobilization”: Mobilize a verifiable commitment with additional industry investments in data assets and big data technologies, reaching a leverage factor of at least 6 times the EC contribution.

ITAINNOVA participates in the use case “Shared Logistics for the E-Commerce” (Supply network sector), whose specific objectives are:

  • Investigate and suggest shared logistics scenarios on e-commerce, taking into account data from various supply chain stakeholders (e.g. e-commerce retailers, 3PL) to reduce cost and environmental burden and increase customer satisfaction and convenience with respect to e-commerce deliveries.
  • Expand the concept of shared logistics by incorporating aspects of replenishment and realizing a synergistic inventory management strategy to increase the level of service, increase the accuracy of future estimates of demand and decrease the requirement for additional vehicle routes (not pre-recorded).
  • Provide alternative shipping methods to the consumer to increase customer satisfaction and offer lower prices.
