Inlecom leads new H2020 project ICONET in Physical Internet

New ICT infrastructure and reference architecture to support Operations in future PI Logistics NETworks (ICONET) project starts officially on the 1st of September 2018. ICONET is a 30 months project and will significantly extend state of the art research and development around the Physical Internet (PI) concept in pursuit of a new networked architecture for interconnected logistics hubs by focusing on the following:

• Research, under the PI umbrella, into new business models that underpin intermodal transport, warehousing, ecommerce fulfilment,
• Development of an experimental ICT proof of concept (PoC) Infrastructure Platform to support the simulation and testing of the PI concepts,
• Development of representative PI solutions for each of the three Focus Areas for the corresponding Living Labs.

The project will liaise closely with the ALICE developments and projects to link up and join forces with all projects in this area contributing to the formation of the European PI.

Demonstrators

Three Living Labs (Warehousing as a service, E- commerce fulfillment as a service, and Synchromodality as a service) will demonstrate realistic and compelling solutions through industry reference implementations at representative scale with the goal to deliver a key stepping stone to the EU’s Green agenda.

SELIS project in the 31st UN/CEFACT Forum

The SELIS project  coordinated by Inlecom, participated in the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and E-business UN/CEFACT 31st Forum. The event took place at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, between the 23rd and the 27th April 2018.

High in the list of the Forum’s priorities were the advancement of important projects and domain activities including a series of new projects to be conducted within the framework of the UN/CEFACT programme of work; the liaison and cooperation activities with other organizations (governmental as well as industry and standards consortia); and the advancement of UN/CEFACT’s current and forthcoming technical framework.

SELIS team members lead the new Programme Development Activity (PDA) entitled "Buy-Ship-Pay Reference Data Model" Project for a complete and focused subset of the UN Core Component Library (CCL) aiming to cover the needs of the entire buy-ship-pay model and enable better coordination and harmonization between the International Supply Chain RDM and the Multi-Modal Transport RDM. The project was introduced at the conference.

Further, and as part of the discussion, the SELIS project partner CONEX, presented the SELIS objectives and capacity building program in the Transport and Logistics domain, at the session where the proposed Data Pipeline Exchange Structure (PDES) standard, the Multi Modal Transport Reference Data Model and Buy-Ship-Pay Reference Data Model projects were also presented. These exchange standards are being used in the SELIS Living Labs, which are organised large scale realistic demonstrators, driving, testing and providing feedback to the SELIS project outputs, for defining the standardised data exchange structures. The SELIS project presentation generated interest and discussions between the participants attending the session.

Inlecom coordinating new H2020 project Track & Know in Big Data

Big Data for Mobility Tracking Knowledge Extraction in Urban Areas (Track&Know) three-years project starts on the 1st of January 2018 and will research, develop and exploit a new software framework that aims at increasing the efficiency of Big Data applications in the transport, mobility, motor insurance and health sectors. Stemming from industrial cases, Track&Know will develop user friendly toolboxes that will be readily applicable in the addressed markets, and will be also investigated in additional domains through liaison activities with running ICT-15 Lighthouse projects.

Pilots

Track&Know recognizes that Big Data penetration is not adequately developed in niche markets outside the traditional verticals (e.g. Finance) and so the Track&Know Toolboxes will be demonstrated in three real-world Pilots using datasets from niche market scenarios to validate efficiency improvements. Performance and impact benchmarks are elaborated and will be documented during pilots deployment.

Partners

Track&Know brings together interdisciplinary research teams from Mobility Data management, Complex Event Recognition, Geospatial Modelling, Complex Network Analysis, Transportation Engineering and Visual Analytics to develop new models and applications. The project workplan embodies a holistic approach towards delivering market-relevant outcomes of significant exploitation potential.

INLECOM is the project coordinator and partners are:

• CELERITAS MEDICAL LTD
• CNR - CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE
• FRAUNHOFER GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FOERDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V.

• OCTO TELEMATICS SPA
• PAPWORTH HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST
• UNIVERSITEIT HASSELT
• UNIVERSITÉ PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE
• UNIVERSITY OF PIRAEUS RESEARCH CENTER
• UNIVERSITAT ZURICH
• ZELITRON

TRACK & KNOW has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, Topic H2020-ICT-16-2017- Big data PPP: research addressing main technology challenges of the data economy, under the Grant Agreement No 780754.
