COG-LO Project

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 - EU.3.4. SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Smart, Green and Integrated Transport programme under Grant Agreement number 769141. The aim of the COG_LO project is to create the framework and tools that will add cognition and collaboration features to future logistics processes. The main goal of COG-LO project is to introduce the concept of Cognitive Logistics Object (CLO): a virtualized entity that participates in the logistics process, represents different actors such as parcel, truck, traffic light, supporting systems, etc. (depending on the case) and has a different capabilities (from basic functionalities up to autonomous decision making and actuation), which are configured per case. The main goal of the project is to create the necessary framework and tools that will enable future logistics processes to become cognitive and collaborative-interoperable by: • adding cognitive behavior to all involved Logistics Operation “objects” (freight, transportation means, systems, etc.), referred to as CLOs (Cognitive Logistics Objects) and • developing the necessary communication and interoperable environment that will allow those cognitive objects to communicate with each other and share information through secure ad-hoc networks. To achieve this, the project will offer the following: • New cognitive cargo-centric multi-modal transport models: The project will formalize and model both the operational and system models, which will utilize the new concepts of Cognitive Logistics Objects, Cargo Hitchhiking and Cognitive Advisor. Those models will enable for more flexibility, improved decision making and ad-hoc collaborations.
