Goods road transport digital twins technology for sustainable and smart mobility.

Due to the environmental and social impact of daily city activities, it is becoming more and more necessary furnish the authorities and administrations with solutions which provide a clear impact on the reductions of emissions, urban congestions and cost. Goods road transportation is traverse to all industry dealing with physical products, from mineral mining to agriculture, to urban goods delivery or urban refuse removal. It is a major source of energy consumption, and thus an area with a lot of room for improvement to cut emissions and mitigate its environmental impact. In this context, Spanish start-up has developed a hyper-scalable platform that integrate and orchestrate over a dozen different technologies to provide an end-to-end solution to build and compare road transport digital twins. The company has designed and developed from multi-level multi-country to city last mile and reverse logistics road transport networks digital twins technology. It is based on a proprietary combination of algorithms to optimize routes with trucks or vans, with legal, environmental, emissions and other city or zone-specific restrictions, enables like-for-like comparison of current and proposed models within a specific Living Lab and cross- Living Labs. This solution enables full implementation, traceability and measurement of the chosen solution/s to validate hypothesis in real live environment. It enables to easily create and manage collaborative and resilient road transport networks. In crisis times adds transport capacity when is most needed, in “normal” times facilitates to implement innovative and very flexible private-public partnerships. This solution is designed and built industry-agnostic, enabling adoption of circular-economy approaches and more importantly, breaking the chronic digital divide of the highly fragmented transport industry, accelerating its digitalization. It has the potential to help tackle a range of global challenges, support smart city and agriculture transformation making people lives safer, healthier and greener. Currently, the Spanish start-up is looking to expand its business activities throughout EU countries and beyond. For that, it seeks partners for licensing and commercial agreements with technical assistance. Additionally, it is interested in joining consortia working on topics where their expertise and Know-how could contribute, reaching research agreements.
