During the last decades several research projects and related initiatives have investigated innovative approaches and solutions aiming at improving transport logistics. However the level of adoption has still not reached a satisfactory level. In fact, compared with other industry sectors it is...

The European Space Agency (ESA) is currently funding a number of projects in order to develop services for the optimization of transport and logistics processes using satellite assets. One of these projects is I-PORT, especially addressing intermodal container transportation through European...

This paper describes the so-called CORE Simulation Environment (CORE-SE), a scenario based simulation environment which was developed in the scope of the EU project CORE. CORE-SE in particular provides means for the simulation of logistics scenarios. It consists of a software agent platform that...

Purpose: Seaports are to a growing extent controlled by IT systems. Smooth information exchange is crucial for business. Downtimes give rise to substantial financial losses and supply bottlenecks, due to the interconnections in a complex alliance of port stakeholders' systems. Hence, Cyber...
