  • Other partners: South East England Development Agency (United Kingdom), Centre Régional d’Innovation et de Transfert de Technologie – Transport et Logistique (CRITT TL) (France), AG Port of Oostende (AGHO) (Belgium), National Institute for Transport and Logistics, Dublin Institute of Technology (Ireland), Liverpool John Moores University (LOOM) (United Kingdom)

  • Abstract:

    The InTraDE project (Intelligent Transportation for Dynamic Environments, http://www.intrade-nwe.eu/ ) is funded by the European North West Region. The project is coordinated by Rochdi Merzouki from University of Science and Technology of Lille (LAGIS lab.). Other partners are the Maia team, Liverpool John Moores University (LOOM), the National Institute for Transport and Logistics in Dublin Institute of Technology, the South East England Development Agency, the AGHO Port of Oostende and the CRITT in Le Havre. In the context of seaports and maritime terminals, the InTraDE project aims to improve the traffic management and space optimization inside confined spaces by developing a clean and safe intelligent transportation system. This transportation system will operate in parallel with virtual simulation software of the automated site, allowing a robust and real-time supervision of the goods handling operation.

    The Maia team partner focuses on decentralized approaches to deal with the control of automated vehicle platooning and the adaptation of the traffic. Maia is funded with two PhD fellowships and one engineer. Both PhD thesis started in the end of 2010. The PhD of Jano Yazbeck, supervised by F. Charpillet and A. Scheuer, aims at studying a “Secure and robust immaterial hanging for automated vehicles” (see Sec.  6.2.1.1 ). The PhD of Mohamed Tlig, supervised by O. Simonin and O. Buffet, addresses “Reactive coordination for traffic adaptation in large situated multi-agent systems” (see Sec.  6.2.1.3 ).
