Mobility is constantly evolving. Personal vehicles, public transport, automated trucks, e-scooters \u2013 with the array of mobility choices, we expect effortless movement when it comes to reaching a destination, both for ourselves and our goods. Yet, traffic flow is impacted by everything from weather events to parking to accidents. Managing all the moving parts is complex, but non-action comes at a cost. Bottlenecks across road, rail, air and sea result in increased pollutant emissions, longer journey times and a greater risk of accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging the silos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0Trond Hovland, CEO of\u00a0Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Norway and coordinator of the EU-funded ORCHESTRA project<\/strong>, the main problem is that conventional traffic management (road networks, railway operators, air corridors) operates in silos. This creates inefficiencies and blocks visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, a major crash at an intersection creates a ripple effect throughout the whole traffic system. Traffic controllers don\u2019t see the accident, they just see the effects of the incident \u2013 be it with trucks delayed in getting goods to ports or people\u2019s journeys disrupted on their way to catch a flight at an airport,\u201d\u00a0said Hovland.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNew scenarios, such as the introduction of connected automated vehicles, also bring more complexities. Our main goal with ORCHESTRA was to connect services, to help mobility and logistics navigate volatilities and cope with diverse demands,\u201d Trond Hovland, CEO, ITS Norway<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration is key to success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coordinated by\u00a0ITS Norway, ORCHESTRA brought together a further four Norwegian organisations, and 12 academic and research partners and transport administrators from France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. By harnessing their complementary expertise, the researchers successfully\u00a0designed the concept and principles for a multimodal traffic management ecosystem (MTME). This sets the ground rules for\u00a0a\u00a0fully multimodal orchestration system, integrating traffic management with fleet operators in all transport modes. The MTME defines the roles, responsibilities, information models and the governance structures required for collaboration between different systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by a \u20ac5 million grant from the EU\u2019s Horizon 2020 programme, the research was conducted over three years between 2021 and 2024. Two demonstration sites \u2013 Her\u00f8ya Industrial Park in Norway and Milan Malpensa airport in Italy \u2013\u00a0offered real life testing environments for the ORCHESTRA model. As the test sites collectively covered road, rail, water, and air transport, the researchers were able to adjust the MTME for organisational issues, functionality, capability and usability across all modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting the ORCHESTRA principles into practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Her\u00f8ya Industrial Park located on the coast in the south of Norway provided an ideal environment for testing autonomous freight transport operations. The simulations involved the use of a robotic escort and digital traffic system that unloads goods transport safely. Bringing on board all users, from the maritime and road-based fleet operators and transporters to the customers, was integral to the testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

\u201cCurrently all the different industry partners in the park have their own logistics operations. Going forward, our aim is that all will share the ORCHESTRA concept as a common denominator. This will make logistics more efficient, bring down costs and potentially attract new business,\u201d explained Hovland.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At Malpensa, the\u00a0Airport Operations Plan (AOP) \u2013 itself co-financed by a previous EU research grant \u2013 was enhanced with two new functionalities. One provides the status of the trains\/metro, while the second, the status of the highways. Any delays or traffic jams will generate an \u2018alarm event\u2019, relayed to airport coordination room. All the stakeholders (operator, carriers, handlers) will be able to monitor and ensure a timely response to unforeseen events, whether inside or outside the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In total, the project produced 24 exploitable results, ranging from practical and simulation tools, to models, guidelines and training modules. One immediate success is the take-up of the\u00a0ORCHESTRA concept by a Norwegian national project,\u00a0Arendal, the site of a new large-scale battery factory. The project involves the simulation of a new road structure connecting Arendal harbour, where the raw materials will arrive, with Arendal material park, where the batteries will be produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the road would be partly public owned by the municipality and partly privately owned as part of the harbour, it would be governed by different sets of regulations. We discovered that ORCHESTRA is well-placed to solve these kinds of riddles,\u201d said Hovland. The project is now using ORCHESTRA principles to choose the best road lay-out, use and ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the immediate successes, the researchers hope that the knowledge developed through this project will support transport authorities in future designs of network-wide optimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am really proud of the concrete results achieved so far. This was in no small part due to the excellent teamwork of all partners, and the invaluable coordination work carried out by my team here in ITS. \u201cI believe that the principles we have designed with ORCHESTRA can become a stepping stone to a wider and more efficient data sharing between all transport modes,\u201d concluded Hovland.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
