The Challenge of Synchromodality in the Port of Rotterdam
內容大綱
In November 2022 the program coordinator for digital innovation projects at Europe's largest port, in Rotterdam (Port), wanted to invest in new systems that could synchronize several modes of container transportation (e.g., river, rail, road) in real time. Governance bodies at all levels (Port, City, State, European Union) had expressed interest in digital platforms for this purpose, but a key obstacle was that many of the Port partners refused to share real-time data that were essential for refining algorithms that would control synchromodal capabilities on a transport platform. This was one of several obstacles to synchronizing transport modes (which could greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Port's logistics operations). In a meeting of logistics consortium representatives, this program's coordinator and other leaders discussed the opportunities and challenges involved in synchromodal transport. The case protagonist - Beatrix Linssen - soon after this meeting end, would need to present a report to her superiors and colleagues, discussing why it was necessary and desirable to invest in an IT - enabled synchromodal transport capability, and recommend how to go about doing this (despite that partners will never share the required data).
