OptiModal AI
The decision support system that transforms data into modal shifts. AI-based optimization for resilient logistics.
Decision support for intelligent logistics
Developed under the scientific guidance of SUPSI, OptiModal AI is a cutting-edge ICT platform that bridges information asymmetries in the cross-border intermodal sector.
Unlike simple consultation portals, OptiModal AI is a dynamic online service that analyzes complex operational scenarios, evaluating the optimal matching between rail-road transport supply and demand.
Innovazione Open Access
All results and the technological framework are made available in open access mode under a "Creative Commons" license.
Systemization
A centralized database that standardizes formats and data from Italy and Switzerland.
Interoperability
Compliance with European standards (e.g. FENIX Project) for federated data exchange.
Optimization
AI algorithms to identify traffic volumes that can be effectively shifted to rail.
Simulation
Objective and quantitative analyses to evaluate alternative transportation options and scenarios.
Optimodal AI Framework
An integrated framework for measuring the three dimensions of sustainability in freight transport.
Economical
Size
Operating cost assessment using a life-cycle costing approach. Analysis of the impact of incentives (Ferrobonus) and taxes on the break-even point of intermodal transport.
