SUMMARY
The ENERPLAN project seeks to develop intelligent IT-based planning tools for running the transportation sector, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. The project will also design decision tools for customers which highlight the environmental impact of various transportation solutions. Research is carried out in cooperation with some of the leading transportation companies, ensuring that the developed methods will have a significant impact on the CO2 emission.

SOLUTIONS
- Designing decision tools for planning a route network such that a higher load factor can be achieved, algorithms for filling containers and vessels more efficiently, and methods for finding more efficient distribution paths
- Developing pervasive computing methods using RFID and hand-held devices which will be used to integrate all of these approaches and provide decision support to sudden changes, such that superfluous energy consumption can be avoided.
