COREALIS_EU Information

COREALIS proposes a strategic, innovative framework, supported by disruptive technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, next generation traffic management and emerging 5G networks, for cargo ports to handle upcoming and future capacity, traffic, efficiency and environmental challenges. The proposed beyond state of the art innovations, target to increase efficiency and optimize land use, while being financially viable, respecting circular economy principles and being of service to the urban environment. The innovations will be implemented and tested in real operating conditions in 5 Living Labs, namely Piraeus port, Valencia port, Antwerp port, Livorno port and Haminakotka port. These port-driven technological and societal innovations are tailored to realise COREALIS high level objectives, which are focused on: O1. Embracing circular economy models in its port strategy and operations. O2. Reducing the port’s total environmental footprint associated with intermodal connections and the surrounding urban environment for three major transport modes, road/truck, rail and inland waterways. O3. Improving operational efficiency, optimizing yard capacity and streamlining cargo flows without additional infrastructural investments. O4. Enabling the port to take informed medium-term and long-term strategic decisions and become an innovation hub of the local urban space. COREALIS project receives funding from the @EU_2020 Research & Innovation Programme under grant agreement No. 768994. Any related content reflects only the views of the project owner.
