SYTaDeL

The SYTADEL (SYnchromodal proTotype for Data Sharing and PLanning) project, part of the c-SBO program led by VIL in collaboration with imec, UAntwerpen, and Vlerick, focuses on implementing data spaces within the logistics industry.

status: Running | theme: Digital transformation | type: Regional

The goal is to create a logistics data space where information is shared to optimize transportation planning more efficiently and sustainably. There is a growing international push to develop and implement systems for sharing data among organizations. The primary model being referred to is dataspaces, which are decentralized platforms where data is maintained by its owner. While several broad initiatives are currently in progress, they mostly remain conceptual at this stage.

Objective

Only by putting those concepts into practice within a specific implementation context can they be evaluated and further refined. The SYTADEL project will focus on applying state-of-the-art data space technology in the context of logistics synchromodal planning. Synchromodal planning was selected for its relevance to the future of logistics and its strong dependence on a logistics dataspace.

Specific ACTIVITIES

  • Elaborating the design principles of data spaces
  • Delivery of synchromodal scheduling algorithms
  • Delivering business and governance model principles
  • Testing concrete use cases in collaboration with project participants in a living lab
  • Developing a roadmap for scaling up and deploying logistics dataspaces in Flanders
