PrEDICTS Optimizing Container Load for Parcel and Pallet Transport Networks

Coordinator: TRANSMETRICS AD (BG)

EU trucks are driving around with an average of 43% empty space due to poor linehaul capacity utilization in groupage parcel and pallet networks. This leads to important CO2 emissions, congestions, traffic jams, noise levels and low margins for logistics companies. The underlying problem is a data quality issue as shipments are planned based on weight whilst they actually fill up based on volume and dimension. PrEDICTS is a cargo optimization software based on AI and machine learning. It takes a logistics company’s historical data, cleanses and enriches it and optimizes logistics based on pre…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €50k toward a total project budget of €71k — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 0.5 years from 2018-04-01 to 2018-09-30.
