Within KEYSTONE…

His expertise in both logistic and ICT areas permits to Massimo Arnese to collaborate in KEYSTONE and test the technological solutions of the project. He will study, together with his collaborators, a real scenario dedicated to the project, where the CIM Team can use real data and the Terminal management platform to perform the data exchange between the node, transport operators and public enforcement, evaluating benefits through the analysis of specific KPIs.  The goal will be to demonstrate in a production logistic environment where it will be possible to supply a new solution to create a connection between different stakeholders, contributing the efficiency increase of the logistic process by one side and safety and respect of the public rules on the other side, even in terms of road circulation.
