Resilient and sustainable multimodal transport in the Baltics

Beskrivning

The transport network in Europe and in particular the Baltics is facing severe and frequent disruptions due to the dynamic geo-political situation in the region as well as aftereffects of climate change. The EU Horizon project ReMuNet (Resilient Multimodal Transport Networks) is focused on improving the resilience of the transport network considering alternate routing options and identifying disruptions and ways to mitigate their effects. As a first step in this research, a detailed qualitative study is carried out to 1) define disruptions from the perspective of logistics operators and key stakeholders, 2) to identify the frequently occurring and severe disruptions and 3) understand standard practices of managing these disruptions. A series of 20 interviews (1 hour each) were conducted with infrastructure managers, logistics operators, government agencies, and other stakeholders in the EU transport network. The people represented different modes (links) and nodes of the transport chain including ports, inland waterway management, freight shipping handlers, network planners, terminal operators across rail, road, air, and waterway transport. The analysis of the interviews included classification of disruptions based on severity of impact, cause, and length (time duration) of impact. The research also investigates the resilience of different modes of transport and estimates the stakeholder’s perception on their reliability. The eventual goal of this 3-year project is to build an AI-driven platform that helps transport planners identify safe and sustainable routes. Two pilot case studies will be worked on: 1) the North Sea Baltic corridor case study for safe and timely delivery of humanitarian aid to Ukraine and 2) the Rhine-Danube corridor case study for sustainable transport in the EU. The data from the qualitative will help build the foundation for the AI-based platform, providing information for disruption modelling.
