DISCO – Data-driven and Dynamic Space and Assets for Physical Internet-led Urban Logistics and Planning
Project description
The DISCO project aims to improve urban logistics in European cities by developing and experimenting two innovative technologies: Digital Twins and Data Spaces.
The project focuses on interconnecting urban freight economic stakeholders and city planning, through data sharing and deep digitalization, based on a Physical Internet (PI) approach. DISCO develops a federated European urban freight platform, for safe and smart voluntary data sharing on urban logistics and its urban space use. It develops and tests onsite dynamic and adaptative tools to improve knowledge and facilitate decision-making on various use cases: real-time and predictive freight flows and demands, consolidation centers, decarbonation, curbside management, optimized Sustainable Urban Logistic Plans (SULPs)…
DISCO will demonstrate these innovative solutions in 8 European cities, including Copenhagen (DK) with whom SystemX is developing a digital twin approach.
DISCO is a collaboration between 47 partners: cities, technology and service providers, industry and SMEs, real estate companies, research organisations and universities, and network organisations.
DISCO project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Program (Grant Agreement n° 101103954). It started in may 2023 for a duration of 42 months
