It is the largest international congress for intelligent transport systems (ITS). The congress was comprised of an exhibition, demonstration projects and tests of ITS solutions, a number of visits and a technical/scientific programme.

During 2018, ERTICO was organised the Ports of the Future session on Thursday 20th of September during the ITS World Congress in Copenhagen, with a particular focus on automation, IoT and truck platooning for ports, terminals and highways. The output of the session was focused on the following fact: ”Automation can bring a new way to manage container terminals, addressing many different levels of the business, including the improvement of the efficiency of the movement of cargo in and out of a terminal. Automation has a major impact on jobs. Connected devices may replace certain jobs, but will also create new industries, opportunities and skills. Technologies like truck platooning will have a major impact on the future of logistics”.

ERTICO team in collaboration with ICCS and CNIT presented the findings of the COREALIS project’s user needs questionnaire to the Ports of the Future Panel for validation on the projects innovations.
