Synercize SYnchromodal Transport NEtworks for a Construction Industry towards Zero Emissions

The SYNERCIZE project aims to achieve a sustainable, long-term shift from road transport to zero-emission inland waterways for the construction industry. We expect a 50% reduction in CO2 and a 46% reduction in NOx in logistics flows for construction and demolition, while transport costs will not increase.

• Digital tools for collecting, structuring, and analyzing high-quality data pertaining to the current and future shipments.
• Synchromodal transport network that can easily accommodate ever-changing needs of the system.
• Decision-making algorithms that facilitate modal shift through low-emission and low-cost operations and coordination.
• Sustainable business models for the stakeholders in the supply chain and the synchromodal platform.

First, we are designing a flexible transport network for construction and demolition materials. Second, we are developing intelligent routing algorithms for inland waterway and road transport. Third, we are building digital tools for data collection and analysis. Fourth, we are creating new business models and coordination mechanisms. We are linking the research results to practice in four use cases within the Blue Lane living lab.
