Increased Efficiency and Climate Protection: Automated Driving in Car Terminals and Ports

 
Efforts to transform European inland waterway transport reached a milestone with the successful completion of the H2020 project IW-NET, which was coordinated by the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL). Inland navigation as an environmentally friendly freight transport alternative faces challenges such as low public awareness, infrastructural bottlenecks and the increasing age of the fleet. The project addressed these through innovative technologies, a focus on digitalization, integration into transport chains, optimized waterway infrastructure management and the introduction of environmentally friendly shipping technologies. The aim was to create a holistic perspective for more efficient, environmentally friendly inland shipping.

Pioneering Work in Causal AI for Supply Chain Management at Constructor University

 
Conventional AI models of supply chain management provide interesting recommendations, but often no real understanding and unreliable predictions, which reduces trust in their advices. In a research project with BMW, a team around Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hendro Wicaksono, Professor of Industrial Engineering at Constructor University, PhD-Student Ishansh Gupta and Master-Student Adriana Martinez has developed a pioneering method that closes existing gaps by taking a causal approach. In addition to data relating to the reliability of suppliers, for example, human "tribal knowledge" from the company is also incorporated into the model. This makes its recommendations more accurate, trustworthy and realizable.

Using Fungal Networks to Reduce Packaging Waste

 
Mold is easily recognizable to the naked eye: the fine filamentous network of fungi, which typically grows hidden in soil or biomass. The so-called "mycelium" harbors properties that can be very useful to us in avoiding environmentally harmful packaging waste. New biodegradable mycelium composite materials, combined with adapted production methods, are now being researched by scientists from the University of Göttingen, the University of Bremen, and the institute for production and logistics (BIBA). They are keeping an eye on the entire product life cycle and incorporating artificial intelligence. This four year research project is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation with 1.26 million euros.

The Impacts of Automated Inland Shipping on Inland Ports

 
 
The inland waterway system is facing significant challenges. Against the backdrop of constantly changing freight flows, increasing sustainability requirements, and the already noticeable shortage of skilled workers, the automation of inland shipping is seen as a beacon of hope. However, the speed and extent to which these technological concepts find their way into practice, and the implications this has for other parts of the waterway system, remain unclear. In this context, the RAIN project focuses on inland ports and aims to define development paths for automated inland shipping, as well as to outline future scenarios and provide recommendations for strategic port development. ISL will focus particularly on organizational and economic aspects.
