Key Takeaways from Tackling Disruptions: Innovative Solutions for Resilient and Sustainable Transport Networks webinar

ALICE continued its thought leadership on freight transport resilience with the third webinar in its Resilient Transport Networks series, held on 10 June 2025. The session brought together European experts and project leaders to present and discuss concrete solutions designed to mitigate the effects of disruptions on transport and logistics systems, while promoting energy efficiency and sustainability. 

Building on insights from the previous two sessions, this webinar placed a strong emphasis on the practical implementation and integration of resilience tools. The event explored how innovation-driven approaches are being developed and tested across EU-funded projects, aiming to enhance the ability of logistics networks to adapt to systemic shocks such as extreme weather events, infrastructure failures, pandemics, or geopolitical crises. 

Key interventions and tools presented 

• Disruption Information Interface Tool 
  Marta Waldmann (L-PIT) demonstrated a decision-support tool that allows logistics actors to model and respond to disruption scenarios by analysing their cascading effects on supply chain performance. Developed within the SARIL project, the tool enables early intervention and informed response planning, helping to reduce negative impacts on operations. 
• Energy Module Tool 
  Kelly Pitera (SINTEF) presented a module designed to assess and manage the energy consumption of freight transport chains, also linked to the SARIL project. By simulating different scenarios, the tool helps stakeholders identify energy-efficient routing and scheduling strategies that also support decarbonisation goals. 
• TRANSCEND Project 
  Carolina Cipres (ZLC) provided an overview of the TRANSCEND initiative, which focuses on service-level disruption analysis rather than asset-centric modelling. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of how disruptions to nodes (e.g. ports, terminals) translate into service delays or failures, and how these can be mitigated through adaptive strategies. 
• ReMuNet 
  Nils-Olaf Klabunde (4PL Intermodal GmbH) introduced ReMuNet, a collaborative real-time network management project. Its core objective is to develop intelligent interfaces for traffic prediction and network coordination during emergencies, ensuring continuous information flow between stakeholders. 

Strategic framing 

The session was introduced and moderated by Pablo Segura (ALICE), who emphasised that building resilience into logistics networks is no longer a choice, but a strategic imperative. He encouraged attendees to consider not only technical feasibility but also organisational readiness and cross-sectoral alignment. 

The webinar included a live Q&A session, during which participants raised questions on service-based resilience models, cross-border data exchange, and the scalability of pilot solutions to real-life operations. Engagement was high, with over 40 participants from logistics associations, ports, technology providers, and research organisations actively contributing. 

Next steps and resources 

All presentations and the full webinar recording are now available via the ALICE Knowledge Platform, under the Corridors, Hubs and Synchromodality thematic area. Stakeholders are encouraged to explore these resources and reach out to presenters for further collaboration or inquiries.
