The AET Transport and Mobility Forum promotes active engagement of AET members and member-groups with each other and with other like-minded transport organisations through supporting and hosting a range of activities including online webinars, seminars and discussions on a wide range of transport and transport related topics of interest. We welcome new members and new ideas about transport and how we talk about transport.
In collaboration with the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI), this webinar presents urban freight and last-mile innovations, focusing on on-demand urban warehousing enabled by digital platforms and blockchain, and on collaborative parcel locker networks, highlighting their potential to improve efficiency, transparency and sustainability in last-mile logistics, while addressing governance challenges.
• On-Demand Warehousing for Smarter Urban Logistics – Dimos Touloumidis (CERTH)
• The role of Open Parcel Lockers in Urban Logistics – Peter Bajor (KTI)
This webinar will be hosted by Conall Mac Aongusa, chair of the AET Board. It will be moderated by Saskia Seidel (DLR), member of the AET Council and chair of ECTRI’s Freight and Logistics Thematic Group.
