Discover the project

Project Introduction

The CRISTAL project focuses on the development of inland waterway transport (IWT) and its infrastructure.

The crucial aim of the project is to create an innovative technology for monitoring and digitization of transport chains, indicating the direction of further development of business and management models that include river transport in multimodal chains.

Project Objectives

Shifting 20 % of freight traffic from land to inland waterways.

Conducting three case studies that will allow to increase the reliability of transport by 80% with the use of synchromodality and the implementation of river transport to multimodal supply chains.

Increasing the operability and resilience of infrastructure to climate change.

The CRISTAL case study will cover rivers in: Poland (Vistula and Odra), Italy (Po) and France (Mosele, Seine).

Provision of navigability in extreme weather situations.

Using recycled materials and the reduction of the environmental impact of inland navigation.

Developing new governance models enabling cooperation across institutional, modal and national boundaries.

Use of the latest technological solutions, such as automatic buoys, sensors monitoring the condition of the infrastructure, business models, a decision support system and an open data platform for synchromodal resource planning and operation preparation.

CRISTAL focuses on smaller and commercially undeveloped feedwater routes. They are key to expanding Europe’s waterway system.

The developed solutions are to redefine the logistics processes in inland navigation and fully recover its unused potential.
