A Knowledge Day
Challenges in transport & logistics Growth, Lack of space Growth only possible with smarter ways of working Chain efficiency needs to be improved Rail, road and barge connections to port need to be improved Increase sustainability Bron: FD Interview: president-directeur Hans Smits
Mission: From the Largest to the Smartest and most Sustainable port Rotterdam Climate Initiative

Challenges in transport & logistics Multi-Modal + Realtime Information + Integrated Supply Chain Systems = Information Overload
4C: Cross Chain Control Center?
Project Protect: Reliable and Secure Supply Chains
Project PILOT: Prognostic Logistics Using Sensors Source: http://www.ambient-systems.net/
Project ECO: Efficient Chain Optimization (Inter-)national Legislation - Collecting return flows - Matching return flows with trucks / empty containers - Product design - Avoiding congestion - Social conditions Matching empty containers With return flows
Project: Chain Synchronization
Project DIPLOMA: Agent based Multi- Modal Coordination
How can Agents help? Two Ongoing Cases A. Post Kogeko Freight Transport B. Port of Rotterdam Barge-Terminal Coordination Research Programs NL: Transumo 2005-2009 NL: DEAL 2003-2007 NL: Connekt agents state of the art 2002 Merba
Case A : Real Time orders at Post Kogeko Freight Chain
Case A : Real Time orders at Post Kogeko Freight Chain I can pick up cargo x against cost z My planner agents proposes to send truck P to pick up urgent cargo.. Sounds like a good plan I ll confirm Get me out of here! Ik I can kan pick lading up x cargo afhalen x tegen against kosten cost y
Case B : Terminal Barge Coordination Port of Rotterdam Coordinating Barge-Terminal visits around the Rotterdam Port Source: Approach II: part of the Transumo Diploma project
