The Freight Transport and logistics market: ICT as the key for Co-modality in the future”
 
All the presentations held during the KOMODA Final Conference of Thessaloniki (Greece) on the 26th of November are now available!Visit the section Workshop to see them.

WHAT KOMODA IS


KOMODA is a European project under the Seventh Framework Programme and funded by the European Commission.

It started on Jan/1/ 2008 and it involves a consortium of 10 organizations from several European Countries, 6 research institutions and 4 industrial companies.

The KOMODA proposal is presented as an answer to the research objectives launched by call TPT 2007.2 concerning the optimization of the logistics chain through co-modality.

VISION: A ROAD MAP FOR INNOVATION AND CHANGE

One of the first outcomes of KOMODA is a multifaceted idea of a possible future e-Logistics system (landscape) throughout Europe with the specific target to support the co-modal approach.

Trend in technology  is going on the one hand in the direction of more decentralized planning solutions due to high performance mobile devices and the need for flexible supply chain event management, on the other hand not every company, especially not SMEs are able to invest large amounts in high technology devices needed for RFID and enhanced planning solutions. The idea therefore is to provide these enterprises with optimization tools and software elements (see trends for SAAS and cloud computing) through a comodal e-Logistics platform. The architecture for that could look like the following approach



The current state of the work  is to consolidate different measures and realisation steps for a possible future e-Logistics system in a Road Map. Several steps will be taken for this:

  • Draft of the current situation in e-Logistics in a very condensed and impressive way, based on the previous work results
  • Short illustration of Road Mapping approach with direct relation to KOMODA and its strategy
  • Use of Vision as basis for Road Mapping
  • Showing alternative ways to reach such a system (from different angles)
  • Outline of different measures within such ways
  • Consideration of different regional aspects, conditions, needs, barriers
  • Consolidation of measures/ actions and allocate them to timeline with different timeframes

KOMODA PORTAL


The KOMODA internal portal put the basis for the establishment of future common virtual research-driven cluster in the area of e-Logistics and Co-modality, and it goes much further in the electronic dissemination of material; enabling access to methodological tools identified by or developed within KOMODA.

Register to the portal and you will access the following opportunities:

  • Mutual Exchange
  • State of the art of research on KOMODA related topics
  • Best Practice
  • Networking - proposing new project ideas and finding new partners
  • Access to our libraries, glossary, multimedia

KOMODA FINAL CONFERENCE: The Freight Transport and logistics market: ICT as the key for Co-modality in the future”


The Final Conference of KOMODA has been held last 26th of November in Thessaloniki.

The main purposes of the event were the dissemination of the KOMODA vision and its core results from its 2-year implementation, discussions on the future of intermodality and how ICT applications can promote the European freight transport enhancing co-modality, and definition of the critical issues that need to be taken under consideration for the future of both the European Policy and the logistics market.


Apart from consortium member's speakings, some distinguished people held speeches focussed on the intermodal/comodal transport sector, among which Mr. John Berry from EC DG TREN,  Peter Wolters from EIA, Valerio Recagno from EIRAC, George Tsoukos from TREDIT SA and Dimitris Papadopoulos from K+N Hellas.
