ReMuNet – Resilient multimodal freight transport networkResearch

What does ReMuNet do?

ReMuNet identifies and signals disruptive events and assesses their impact on multimodal transport corridors.

It reacts quickly and seamlessly to disruptive events in real time.

It supports TMS providers in improving the resilience of route planning. ReMuNet communicates alternative, predefined, multimodal transport routes to logistics companies and then to truck drivers, train drivers and barge captains.

As a result, it enables faster and adaptive response of the multimodal network. ReMuNet orchestrates route usage, suggests transshipment points and optimises capacity allocation, minimising damage and reducing recovery time.  

What is the core objective of ReMuNet?

As an enabler of the physical internet, ReMuNet’s vision is to enable and incentivize synchromodal relay transports on European rail, road and inland waterways. It significantly reduces emissions and increases the efficiency of freight corridors in the event of major accidents. 

How will ReMuNet achieve this?

• How will ReMuNet achieve this?
• An algorithm capable of calculating multimodal route alternatives and capacity utilisation in the face of disruptive events. It uses real-time data for dynamic synchromodal alternative route planning 
• A collaborative platform that connects relevant freight operators and enables them to manage disruptions. This is done by providing secure and resilient digital logistics and network management tools that enable alternative routing information and orchestrate event-based synchromodal relay transport 
• Use of reinforcement learning to model and evaluate alternative courses of action as the basis for a self-learning, adaptive multimodal European freight transport and logistics network.
