Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Ir. L.M. Punter (TNO) & Dr. Ir. W.J. Hofman (TNO) Genre: Research papers Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 111 Description: This report is the result of a study on the future digitalization of inland waterway transport. Digitalization is affecting many sectors and industries. In transport and logistics the use of digital technologies is essential to streamline business processes between shippers and logistics actors. Several modes of transport have adopted different kinds of intelligent transport systems and are investigating the possibility of using (semi-)autonomous vehicles. Rapid technological developments have reduced the implementation barriers for such approaches. Public authorities are responded by providing the necessary regulatory frameworks and through specific digitalization initiatives. In a European context this includes the Digital Single Market initiative and the Digital Transport & Logistics Forum. It is essential for the future competitiveness of inland waterway transport to follow this trend: in some cases inland waterway transport (IWT) competes with other modes of transport whilst in other cases IWT is part of a larger multi-modal chain making collaboration an essential prerequisite.
