Monitoring service for critical parameters during transports carrying hazardous goods in unpowered transport vehicles

The SaMoLoSa project aims to demonstrate a monitoring service for critical parameters during transports carrying hazardous goods in unpowered transport assets such as rail tank cars and intermodal tank containers. After identifying stakeholder needs, the monitoring device is configured for the required parameters and a software platform is developed to provide an answer to these specific needs. The collected data of the assets' location and vital parameters provides large amounts of information that can be exploited for optimising business logistics and identifying areas for improvement in the supply chain, both in historic analysis and in real time. Another goal of the project is the reduction of risk and the integration of a digitalised EU railmap. The SaMoLoSa project also aims to offer a new commercial model towards the different stakeholders, minimising the ‘entry barrier’ and costs regarding these monitoring services while maximising their return and profit for all implied stakeholders.
