In collaboration with UIRR and the EU-funded BRIDGE project, ALICE is organising a dedicated workshop on the digitalisation of intermodal door-to-door freight transport, with a specific focus on road–rail–maritime transport chains.
The workshop is designed as a structured exchange with the intermodal community, combining project insights, operational perspectives and interactive prioritisation exercises. It will open with an ALICE introduction on the role of digitalisation in enabling more efficient, reliable and interoperable multimodal logistics, followed by the BRIDGE project perspective on intermodal digitalisation needs and development priorities.
The session will address key challenges related to data exchange in intermodal operations, including the need for improved and standardised information flows and the concept of a minimum viable data set. It will also present the first results of the BRIDGE door-to-door survey, providing an initial picture of current practices, gaps and ambitions across the intermodal ecosystem.
A dedicated segment will focus on the 2030 vision for data sharing and process improvements, supported by interactive polling (Mentimeter) to collect and rank stakeholder views on process priorities, data exchange needs and IT architecture design options. This will help identify areas of convergence and practical priorities for future work.
The workshop is expected to bring together a broad range of stakeholders, including logistics service providers (LSPs), shippers, intermodal operators, rail and maritime actors, terminal operators, technology providers, and representatives of relevant networks and initiatives. In particular, feedback from LSPs and shippers will be essential to ensure that the proposed digital approaches respond to real operational needs and market expectations.
The final discussion will address ongoing initiatives, possible overlaps and synergies, and the way forward in terms of focus areas and aligned activities, with the objective of contributing to a more robust, interoperable and deployment-oriented digital ecosystem for intermodal freight transport.
*This event is open to both members and non-members.
*TG2 members do not need to register, as they will receive an invitation containing the connection details.
