DIGITal Twins applications for safer and greener Adriatic PORTS operations » DIGITPORTS
Project objectives
DIGITPORTS aims to ease the digital transition of Adriatic Ports through the adoption of a common strategy and masterplan to achieve a Digital Twin of the ports in the Area, creating a network of digital support – decision making tools, to be used at local and cross-border level.
The project’s specific objectives
– to adopt a common strategy and guidelines to assure a common quality and scalability of the digital tools put in place
– to help port authorities achieve full digitalization of administrative procedures and planning, helping decarbonization of transport and better use of resources.
– develop new digital tools for training and planning activities (different levels of entry points: creation of digital mapping, software model development, integration of existing databases etc)
DIGITPORTS will for the first time focus on the application of Digital Twins (DT) to port ecosystems.
DT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help in switching to data-led decision-making process:
- to plan and develop sustainable business strategies for land and seaport operations and real
estate valorisation (e.g. ship arrival and departing scheduling tool) - to reduce costs for maintenance of real estate port buildings and quays, based of predictive
maintenance schemes (e.g. use of sensors and drones for monitoring purposes) - to use DT to support the territorial management, especially about managing concessions fees,
bathymetries and predictive maintenance and dredging, Port Reservation System for efficient and safe
berthing allocation, just to name a few. These pilot DT tools must be
capable to integrate big amounts of data within complex contexts and the evolution of a web based
GIS (Geographical Information System) that encompasses administrative, economical,
environmental, structural and operational model replica of the real port.
