GreenRoute – Optimisation of freight transports, for a sustainable future

Purpose and goal

The aim of the project is to explore the climate impact potential through the introduction of a prototype enabling a heatmap visualization and analysis of the climate effects of freight transportation. The prototype aims to aid in planning, reporting, and motivating to changes in purchasing routines.

Expected effects and result

The results of the project includes: - Development of a prototype that effectively visualizes the climate impact of freight transportation on a heatmap. - Validating the concept through user feedback, which will give us a better understanding of the impact that this type of service/visualization can provide and informs a potential follow-up project where we can develop a refined solution, integrated with stakeholders´ regular operations/systems, and evaluate over time how this information would affect their operations.

Planned approach and implementation

The goal is to build, test, demonstrate and validate on a conceptual level, a prototype enabling visualization and analysis of the climate impact of freight transports, for planning, reporting, and encouragement to more climate friendly purchasing routines. The project includes the following WPs: WP1: Project coordination and management WP2 Data collection, data management and data quality control WP3 Prototype development enabling visualization of emissions from freight transport on geographical heatmaps WP4 Testing and demonstration of the prototype WP5 Dissemination
