Making ports greener through #ITS
At ITS Congress by ERTICO 10/11/2020 with PortExpertise
#Green & #Visionary for a more #sustainable #innovative #mobility to adapt to #FutureLandscapes #TalkingITS #R_evolution in mobility #VirtualITS20
#Ports have become the nodes of the logistics and a window on the #GlobalEconomy as they handle nearly 75% of #GlobalTrade. They face the #multimodal aspects connecting the vessels with the hinterland through rail and road and are at the centre of decisions to meet the overall #environmental and #efficiency improvements. At the same time, ports balance the short term improvements and the longer duration cycle linked to #InfrastructureInvestment. So doing, they regularly drive economy and social structures towards greener and more sustainable models. We present in this session first-hand implementations and strategies from large and medium-sized #PortCities as well as the result of applied research and pre-deployment projects. We discuss the environmental and cost benefits of #DigitalTwinning of ports as well as #OptimizationPlanning and day-to-day smaller improvements and the organization of how to implement these changes.
