Greater efficiency along the ‘middle mile’ in logistics as a result of collaboration between companies
When goods are delivered from A to B, a significant part of the journey involves transporting shipments between warehouses, hub facilities and distribution centres. A research team working on the COMMIT project, which is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, is developing technologies to prevent vehicles from travelling this ‘middle mile’ empty or with low load utilisation. The project is co-located at the University of Vienna and the University of Klagenfurt.
