Integrated Platform for Security, Information and Accessibility in Intelligent Marine Transport
("PRODROMOS")
The PRODROMOS project deals with security in cargo transport,
especially of dangerous goods, as classified by EU Directives,
between ports (transnational link) and from port to destination (national links).
Furthermore, the project addresses issues pertaining to port operations,
yard planning,
and travelers.
The integrated platform currently in development, aims to facilitate the passage of information among the port community, related Agencies and the public.
To-date, the project has yielded an early-version integrated platform for intelligent and secure tranport, and a 'track-n-trace' system for dangerous cargo.
Project Overview
The project "PRODROMOS" deals with the creation and implementation of an integrated methodology to complement a "single window" platform, for the security, information and operation of intelligent marine transport. The platform in development aims the improvement of the efficiency and security of supply chains and of trafficking through seaports (port-to-port, port-to-destination). The project builds on previous actions, especially regarding the creation of a "single window" portal by the Cyprus Ports Authority, and system studies made by the Department of Public Works of the Ministry of Communications and Works (Cyprus).
PRODROMOS will specifically focus on the following RTD issues:
- safety of transport & the exchange of information between ports,
- identification and monitoring of cargo/containers in and out of port,
- secure and intelligent inter-modal transport system,
- risk assessment and mitigation for port-to-port transport,
- integrated and scalable system architecture,
- information for, and security of the port community,
- interactive information through a web portal,
- creation of an architecture for a transit hub.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
