AEOLIX - Architecture for EurOpean Logistics Information eXchange
The purpose of the project is to develop a platform for connecting logistics information systems of different characteristics for immediate (real-time) exchange of information in support of logistics-related decisions. The current problems are connected to the difficulty in sharing information in supply chains, proprietary systems and too many standards.

DREAMIT - Digital Real-time Access Managament in Intermodal Transportation
The purpose of the project is to improve resource efficiency in intermodal transportation systems and to improve access management by using digital information exchange and improved interaction between actors in the transportation modes sea, road and rail. There are large gaps in how access is managed today, in ports and rail terminals where only a small number of individual processes are in focus.

The attributes of physical internet as a new approach to increase energy efficiency of logistics services in seaport- dry port system
The purpose of the project is to identify the potential for increased energy efficiency related to dry ports and to explore the attributes of Physical Internet to address energy inefficiencies. The growth of containerized sea transport demands improved efficiency and increased capacity in the transit through seaports as well as in the transport to and from seaports in the hinterland.

Retail shopping and the last mile transport: past, present and future transformations
The purpose of this project is to understand how the last mile transport in retailing shapes and is shaped by the transport system and its transformation in the past, present and the future. The project deals with retailing and the transport of goods from the point of acquisition to point of consumption. How these activities are carried out has great impact on the transport system and the sustainability impact of the supply chain. Today the majority of these transports are conducted by the consumers themselves, mainly by using their own car. This is partly a result of a significant transformation during the last decades towards an increasing number of shopping centres.

Future of sharing schedule information in automotive industry supply chains using advanced data analytics
The purposes of this project are:
- to describe delivery schedule usage, variability and accuracy in SC,
- to explain root causes and implications on planning practices and SC performances of schedule variations,
- to propose data-driven methods, and (4)
- to test and generate implementation frameworks for new methods and models.
Low schedule accuracy and unknown consequences in the SC of its variation, besides changes are note communicated effectively.

Logistics consequences of the Gothenburg container port conflict
The labour market conflict in APM Terminals in Port of Gothenburg has led to a large reduction in volumes handled in the port. However, the consequences within the supply chain are much more severe and multiple large companies across the country stress the negative implications in terms of increased cost as well as problems of sending/receiving goods on time, which in the long run threatens the competitiveness of the Swedish export industry.
The purpose of this project is to investigate (1) which actors have been affected, (2) how they have been affected, (3) which measures they have taken and can take to mitigate the consequences and (4) indicate the aggregated logistics effects in terms of altered flows of goods, modal choice, costs and external effects. The project will not address the labour market conflict itself, rather in an unbiased way address the consequences of the conflict and how problems that have arised have been addressed at different stages throughout the conflict. The project is led by School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg, which will carry out the work in collaboration with SSPA Sweden AB.

Supply Chain Finance Visibility: new roles for actors in the supply chain
Making the flows in international supply chains visible reduces information asymmetry and enables more efficient and less risky chains. This multidisciplinary project aims to analyze the how the roles of different supply chain actors may change when the physical, informational and financial flows are made visible throughout the supply chain. The project rests on the assumption that the IT development can be used as a means to identify and strengthen the weakest links in the supply chain. The project involves researchers from logistics, finance and law as well as numerous practitioners from banks, multinational firms and industry associations.
