The project started on March 1, 2021, and is scheduled to run for three years. LogIKTram will receive funding totaling around 2.75 million euros from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. LogIKTram is a fundamental sub-project of the overarching regioKArgo initiative, which has set itself the goal of analyzing and implementing new approaches for freight transport including last-mile transport in Karlsruhe and the surrounding region. The aim of regioKArgo is to shift more cargo-induced traffic from road to rail in the future and make last-mile logistics emission-free.
In addition, the FZI developed a mobile application that allows the last-mile operator to check the shipment status and ETA of the loading units at any time in order to plan their just-in-time pickups.
Intelligente Lösungen für den Transport von Menschen und Gütern für die Mobilität der Zukunft stellen einen Schwerpunkt der FZI-Forschung dar. Dazu entwickelt das FZI integrierte Mobilitätssysteme – von der Fahrzeugautomatisierung über die Anwendung von KI in Verkehrssystemen bis zur urbanen Mobilität und Logistik.
