What the DataLOG project is

Project aimed at optimising data exchange in combined transport, offering a solution to allow the different stakeholders in the logistics ecosystem to operate in a more efficient, connected and sustainable way.

Driven by Mobility Lab, this facilitates interoperability between operators, infrastructures and logistics platforms, generating a comprehensive overview of the intermodal transport ecosystem. It also drives the transition towards more sustainable logistics models, by encouraging the use of rail and sea transport in line with European decarbonisation targets.

Poor interoperability between systems

Logistics information is spread across multiple platforms and operators.
Lack of comprehensive visibility

Stakeholders do not always have a comprehensive view of the state of operations and goods.
Complex, poorly-connected processes

Coordination between modes of transport continues to cause operational inefficiencies.
Need for more sustainable models

Europe backs the shift in goods transport towards less polluting modes.

Project focus

DataLOG enables shared data services to allow improved coordination between stakeholders, optimise logistics processes and aid decision-making in intermodal transport.

Secure data sharing
Integration between operators and platforms
Interoperable services for intermodal logistics
Comprehensive overview of the logistics chain
Optimising operations and times

This approach makes it possible to connect data and stakeholders in combined transport to develop new digital services aimed at more efficient, sustainable logistics:

We facilitate connection between combined transport stakeholders.
Interoperability improves management and reduces frictions.
We encourage more efficient, less polluting transport systems.
Shared information makes it possible to optimise operations and planning.
