Interoperability for safe, reliable, and efficient interfaces supporting autonomous transport

Research Project, 2023 – 2024

Automation is an important theme both in road transport and in materials handling in facilities. In the context of loading and unloading of trucks, the interfaces between road transport system and materials handling system are important to consider. An aligned automated processes could enable several benefits such as reduced staff cost, more efficient flows, and better planning possibilities. To enable smooth material flows across the interfaces, coordination and interoperability is required. The project addresses the interoperability between the internal logistics system and the external transport system.
