Executive Summary
The SELIS project aims at offering a platform with the technological and business capabilities for enhancing and innovating several logistics activities towards better performance, in particular cost reduction, emissions reduction, and improving reliability. Consequently, seven operational and organizational strategies, i.e. European Green Logistics Strategies (EGLS1-7) are developed and implemented by the SELIS affiliated Living labs. In the framework of these strategies, this document discussed the research and development agendas of the SELIS project.
A number of practical and research problems of operationalizing collaborative transport networks involving heterogeneous stakeholders are identified through a detailed examination of the state of the art. As a result, this document discusses: operational problems associated with collaborative transport planning, the capability of supply chain visibility enabling corrective planning, low-cost financing, performance monitoring and alignment of organizational incentives. This led to refined research gaps addressed by the SELIS research and development plans.
