How do we actually make multimodal transport chains smarter?

It’s a deceptively simple question… but behind it lie challenges the research community is uniquely equipped to tackle:

• What would it take to build common data standards across freight corridors?
• How can real-time data reshape optimization in practice?
• Where can AI and digitalization truly add value?
• And how do we use these tools to plan better and recover faster when disruptions inevitably happen?

On November 6 at 4:00 pm CET | 10:00 am ET, TU Darmstadt's Ralf Elbert and MIT CTL’s Elenna Dugundji will lead a seminar with the WCTRS Special Interest Group B3 „Freight Transport Operations and Intermodality“ and their Co-Chairs Mahnam Saeednia and Gunnar Stefansson to explore these questions.

Don’t miss hearing exciting insights from our keynote speakers:

• Dr. Allison Fischman, U.S. Department of Transportation
• Dr. Ralf Bammerlin, German Federal Ministry of Transportation
• Prof. Lori Tavasszy, TU Delft and Scientific Committee Chair of WCTRS
