1 A digital agenda for ICT innovation in Sea Ports Paolo Pagano Consorzio Nazionale Inter-universitario per le Telecomunicazioni (CNIT) Laboratorio Nazionale di Reti Fotoniche, Pisa (I) on behalf of Livorno Port Authority

2 Presentation of the Port of Livorno

3 Sea Ports as smart spaces Sea Ports are remarkable smart spaces : where people, implanted sensors, and vehicles interact; functions and services are targeted to humans and machines; services depend on the chain connecting sensors and information systems through networks.

4 Livorno in the core TEN-T network Livorno

5 Livorno footprint XVI century port in the North-Tyrrhenian Sea Multi-purpose operations: 850,000 m 2 customs boundary, 90 berths and 13 km of quays, 3 railways & 60 km of tracks, large oil stock area (ranked 2nd in Europe), 2,800,000 m 2 freight village, 25,000 slots car stocking area 3 million passengers, 30 million tons of goods, 1 st in the busiest Ro-Ro terminals in Italy The port of Livorno is an interesting inter-modal Point of Interest where to develop and validate Intelligent Transport System and innovative ICT technologies.

6 The Port of Livorno on the map... our un(valuable) asset: 10 km square of resources, accesses, transport modes, etc. under a unique regulatory authority; with resident capabilities for experimentation and testing. Annotated map: ps/d/edit?mid=zagqxoynyn 0g.k5vtweVyr8vs

7 The Ro-Ro Area Ro-Ro and Ro-Ro Pax Direct access to motorways National & EU Cabbotage units 13.5 Mtons of goods

8 The containers terminals TEUs (2014) 7 Mtons of goods (2014) 1.5 km of quays 8 portainer cranes 8 transtainer cranes 22 reach stackers large fleet of handling vehicles Railway Terminal Refeer Area

9 Forthcoming major upgrade A multi-purpose offer: Ro-Ro, PAX, Containers; A complete logistic (intermodal) infrastructure: fully equiped berth, highway connection, railways; 18,000 TEUs capability; Largest public/private investment in Italy: 800 MEuros fully allocated. Need to match usual corporate innovation requirements: exploiting what has already been done; featuring legacy capabilities while innovating.

10 PCS at the heart of Sea Ports

11 Directives and Regulations in EU EU regulations and (IMO correspondents) : arrival/departure schedule time of the ships (Directive 2002/59/EC), customs controls for travelers (Regulation 2006/562 EC), notifications of dangerous freight (Directive 2002/59/EC), notification of waste and residuals (Directive 2000/59/EC), notification security to entry ports (Regulation 725/2004 EC), entry summary declaration for customs clearance (Regulation 450/2008 EC).

12 Electronic process Regulating: electronic exchange of information, avoid duplications; member states (EU and IMO) to set up a Single Point Of Contact (SPOC) instead of dozens of legacy information systems run by independent regulatory and control agencies; a full harmonization supports the ONCE paradigm, based on data single electronic transmission and single control declaration formalities.

13 Linking ships and in-land processes From this interaction paradigm: New interaction paradigm:

14 Innovation towards PCSs Set up a Port Community System to connect to the SPOC established at national level; private and public institutions use PCS to: enable intelligent and secure exchange of information, improve the efficiency and competitive position of the seaports, automate smooth port and logistics processes through a single submission of data and by connecting transport and logistics chains.

15 How can Communities exploit the availability of new ICT solutions and integrate them in PCS?

16 A digital Sea Port is... Fully connected in itself: relying on a broadband backbone; Pervasively monitored: considering a suited set of monitoring devices; Centrally controlled: featuring a Service and Control Room (H2M and M2M enabled) Fully Intermodal: integrated in a geographically distributed (intermodal) Logistic & Transport network (at national and trans-national levels) IT, GIS Sensors, cameras, radars, etc. PCS and Smart Citiy systems 3D georeference, data aggregation,

17 Efficiency in docks operations Handling containers and/or route heavy trucks disembarquing from ships: are the key process that must be optimized at the docks. Via an effective integration of processes in the dedicated information systems: we will reduce the «Transit Time» of goods and persons in the seaport enhancing the effectiveness and competitiveness in the supply chain.

18 Safety in the working areas Vehicles in ports (trucks, reach stakers, cranes, etc.): carry (dangerous) freight; move containers. Share the same space with workers (and sometimes visitors, passengers); We will implement secure message exchange among devices: in containers, vehicles, and personal equipment To allow for safety-aware processes in docks and terminals.

19 Centralized Control Monitoring of sensing, operations, and events: in real-time allowing for On-Line Analytical Processing allowing for off-line studies and knowledge extraction (data mining) Assessing the risk level: per zone, per vehicle, per worker Improving on efficiency: getting rid of impediments generating congestion; avoiding deadlocks, starvation in the workflow.

20 The ICT agenda in Livorno

21 Permanent lab facilities On the port landside (in the docks) kicked off on Oct 14 th ; under the directorship of PP. Joint Laboratory of Advanced Sensing Networks & Communication in Sea Ports : to provide a continuous and effective presence of CNIT researchers at the Port in order to support the design and implementation of the ICT technical agenda; to provide an accessible and ready testing and experimentation ambient to Italian and European partners: either industries... either the academia. incrementally deploy a Service and Control Room for the Port starting from the most innovative applications; guarantee an outstanding level of education and training for the (forthcoming) port operators.

22 ICT innovation roadmap A fully connected collection layer A Sea Port on the Tuscan Logistic Platform A cloud of services

23 Integrating Port / Dry Port ~ 5 km INTERPORTO VESPUCCI PORTO LIVORNO A digital Sea Port is «fully connected» An integrated logistic district in a unique fiber-cabled LAN appointed to customs clearance services (secure corridor) The dry port railway terminal, that has a surface of square meters. 23

24 Extending the data collection layer Data sources: new sensors (RFIDs, chemicals, radiation), cameras, (autonomous) connected vehicles, radars, etc. Networks: ad-hoc and broadband wireless networks Data repositories: hierarchically organized and federated as for the smart cities case. A digital Sea Port is «pervasively monitored»

25 Setting the controls on clouds A digital Sea Port is «centrally controlled» also featuring:

26 Livorno in the Regional Logistic Platform using the Port as the «catalyst» of regional innovation; considering distributed procedures: for managing and controlling logistic processes; following best-in-class examples and standards. for an effective integration of the transport modes in the vast coast area: to improve on the competitiveness on the main transport links; leveraging the ongoing administrative integration process of the two main ports (Livorno and Piombino) and the two main airports (Pisa and Florence). A digital Sea Port is «fully intermodal»

27 promoting our playground ITS Plugtests: Livorno candidature for 2016 campaign; featuring IoT showcase extension; discussion scheduled on Oct. 30 th in Sophia- Antipolis within ETSI TC ITS plenary.

28 Key Enabling Technologies

29 Extending the sensing layer Need to accommodate multiple data sources of heterogeneous technologies: optimize transmissions (TiSCH, IEEE ) promote other short-range technologies to 6LoWPAN (within IETF WG 6Lo): BlueTooth Low Energy (in the Bluetooth 4.0 specifications), 2.4 GHz IEEE e (Time Scheduled transmissions) IEEE802.11ah (chipsets to appear shortly), 0.9 GHz use of non-r/f channels: Infrared (IrDA, IEEE PHY IR) Visible Light Communication (IEEE ) Allow to switch from one to another exploting the IPv6/6LoWPAN Networking layer abstraction

30 Converging to 5G for networking Exploiting the capabilities provided by the new generation of cellular technologies: notably: bandwidth, latency, equipment cost D2D communication: enabling for M2M centralized control and QoS enabling for managing large scale (complex) infrastructures like sea ports as the wireless pervasive technology gathering and transferring data Requirements Vision of 5G Mobile Communication, Nokia, 2015

31 Considering mobility... 5G cellular technology: as complementary to G5: using 5.9 GHz ISM band (standardized by ETSI for V2X) sea ports can be considered as a promising playground for performance assessment applicability to heavy vehicles working on the docks

32 ... and data custodial on clouds From a local infrastructure to a distributed system for managing data at a global scope (through federation).

33 Enabled Use Cases

34 Assisted navigation A driver enters the Port Area The driver and the vehicle are authenticated and authorized for a set of paths and services; The driver is assisted in the navigation toward the freight unloading/bay; The driver is notified about any impediment / risk he will face to accomplish the authorized task; The other workers/vehicles possibly biased by the vehicle maneuvers will be notified. SEAPORT CONTROL CENTER C-ITS 2. Dedicated RSU sends the request of authentication to the TCC to obtain the set of authorized services and paths using e.g. OCIT-C CAN Bus 6. Driver receives the information instantly via IVS 5. RSU informs driver about the requested services jointly with details about impediments / risks 1. Authentication of Driver and Vehicle e.g. via SSL/TLS 4. RSU sends the information about impediments / risks to TCC using e.g. OCIT-C 3. The IoT segment (e.g. Smart Cameras and Sensors via IEEE ) inform about impediments / risks along the path

35 Cargo Monitoring The container is tagged to have reached another transit point; The container is checked not to be dangerous / pollutant; The container sensing history (e.g. temperation, acceleration, etc.) is downloaded for QoS checks; The container is transferred to another carrier (say a ship or another truck). SEAPORT CONTROL CENTER 2. RSU receives Cargo Conditions and relays the information to the TCC e.g. OCIT-C 3. TCC informs RSU about Cargo Condition and Vehicle Position (Estimated time of arrival) e.g. OCIT-C On-board Sensing Network 1. Vehicle sends Cargo Conditions. using CAM. The Driver also visualizes them on a display 4. Another truck (e.g. a semi-trailer) receives the information instantly via CAM and displays them to the driver

36 Pollution control The real-time pollution introduced by the truck is annotated into its profile and the change in the risk level is calculated; All observations and tasks are annotated in the Port Monitoring System: (human and concrete) resources are set as booked, in use or released and eventual alarms are generated. The tasks undertaken by the operators on the freight are filled in the related Community Systems: These records update the Key Performance Indicator of a certain segment in the corridor supply chain. SEAPORT CONTROL CENTER 2. RSU 1 receives pollution information and relays them to TCC 5. TCC sends information to Port MS in order to update KPI and manage emergency in real time 4. RSU 2 receives hazard warning and relays the information to TCC CAN Bus 1. Vehicle 1 sends Pollution Information to RSU 3. Vehicle 2 sends Hazard warning CAN Bus

37 Safety warning A truck generates an alarm valid in a certain zone The alarm is propagated to Seaport CC The message is also transmitted D2D to other potentially interested users (humans and machines) SEAPORT CONTROL CENTER 2. RBS receives information and relays it to CC to update risk level and manage emergency in real time 1. Vehicle 1 geocasts a hazard warning 3. Worker / Passenger receives the hazard warning in real-time via D2D 3. Vehicle 2 receives hazard warning

38 Synchro-modal logistics A truck generates an alarm valid in a certain zone The alarm is propagated to Seaport CC The message is also transmitted D2D to other potentially interested users (humans and machines) SEAPORT CONTROL CENTER 2. RBS receives information and relays it to CC to update risk level and manage emergency in real time 1. Vehicle 1 geocasts a hazard warning 3. Worker / Passenger receives the hazard warning in real-time via D2D 3. Vehicle 2 receives hazard warning

39 Optimized supply chain Synchro-modality: ability for a shipper to choose between a range of transport modes at any given time, a choice made on the basis of cost and environmental efficiency; the shippers will select the best choice upon a set of competing carriers and competing logistics providers. The adoption of a synchro-modal model: need of a corridor-wide Port Community System; need of a real-time snapshot about where the goods are, what do they need for being loaded/discharged/routed, what resources are available at the time.

40 Funding opportunities

44 Concerns and Conclusions

45 Avoiding the usual pitfalls... Not research for research: prototypes are not forged to lay in (unaccessible) repositories but research for innovation: incrementally integrate the results into the Ports digital infrastructure (as new digital services) having educated the future personnel with the needed skills, effectively placed at key (local) industries; avoiding the risk of losing high-valued assets because we cannot keep the anchor-men in our development and business units.
