Projects in logistics

Resilience in maritime supply chains is vital for Sweden's supply preparedness. The REDO project maps the needs of critical actors and identifies constellations that can strengthen national readiness, supporting key challenges faced by businesses and authorities in an increasingly uncertain world.

The pre-study LÖST, funded by Lighthouse, analyses Sweden’s maritime total defence exercise during Donsö Shipping Meet 2025. By studying exercises at sea and in simulators, RISE strengthens maritime preparedness, collaboration and decision-making capacity in total defence.

Prefabricated concrete elements, such as HDF boards, slab foundations, columns and sandwich walls, are common materials for frame structures in Sweden. Reuse of concrete frames is considered to have great potential, but is a major challenge in the market.

Effective market models for reuse, together with regulations that promote them, are crucial factors in the transition to a circular built environment sector – from planning through implementation to management, and, when needed, conversion or dismantling and reuse.

The extraction of natural resources has tripled in just fifty years and we are facing a crossroads: continue as usual – or rethink from the ground up. By radically extending the lifespan of vehicles and by creating attractive circular business offers, Re:Value wants to increase resource efficiency …

Oxelösund, with SSAB’s shift to fossil-free production, its port, and energy system, offers an ideal testbed for system-level solutions. This is a feasibility st…

HITS 3 addresses the challenges of urban logistics systems from a systemic perspective and aims to accelerate the transition toward more efficient and sustainable urban freight transport.

How are the activities of Swedish ports affected by external factors such as total defense, NATO and climate change? What are the synergies and contradictions between the development towards the sustainable port and the new investments that need to be made in a changing world?

Offshore wind power offers great potential for renewable electricity generation in Sweden. However, port capacity to meet the needs of the offshore wind power industry is far from sufficient. The project will help Swedish ports to evaluate their business potential for the wind power industry, throu…

Scenarios are analyzed for how the Swedish road freight transport sector can contribute to achieving Swedish climate goals, as well as how the resilience of the transport system develops for these scenarios. A dynamic energy system model is used in the analysis together with input from workshops an…

Today, there are few examples of research that examines the consequences of streamlining maritime transport for the seafaring profession. The TEMPO project fills that research gap with a study on just-in-time (JIT) calls, where the time the ship spends near and in the port is minimized, and how it …

The FEMAS project will identify the obstacles that stand in the way of rolling out more efficient truck combinations with lower emissions and higher load capacity in Swedish construction and infrastructure projects

The cement industry in Sweden is facing a major transition to lower its climate footprint, where CCS will play an important role. For the Swedish cement production on Gotland, their location provides opportunities to utilise CO2-transport by ships and new collaboration possibilities around the Balt…

The basic industry is important to Sweden's economy and is dependent on spare parts in order to function. Supply chains are often global, which has proven vulnerable when events in the outside world have an impact. The project aims to contribute to a resilient and competitive industry, by reducing …

The vision of the HITS project was to understand and create conditions for a sustainable transport system in the city. A system solutions with a high degree of freight consolidation (ie sized and well-stocked vehicles) as far as possible into city centers to reduce congestion, vehicle kilometers an…

Procurements from large international NGOs form a 20-billion-dollar annual market. The Central Baltic countries, however, are much underrepresented in the volume of annual sales. The INGOs project will inform and mentor companies in how to effectively enter these processes.

In this project, we explored future solutions for how people can interact and collaborate with autonomous heavy vehicles. The project identified obstacles and opportunities for the implementation of new interaction technologies in industrial environments where autonomous heavy vehicles can be deplo…

The cement industry in Sweden is facing a significant climate transition. A central aspect of this transition is carbon capture and storage (CCS), which is ambitiously set to be implemented in Sweden by 2030. In order to realize CCS, a reliable, cost effective, and environmentally sustainable CO2-l…

Sensors for road vehicle automation can complement sensors already established in shipping at short distances close to infrastructure where the sensors are located on land. The method is to implement and demonstrate perception for selected scenarios for identification and target tracking. The aim o…

The project aims to enhance information management, automate and optimize processes, and boost operational efficiency and resilience in multi-purpose ports. It focuses on creating a Digital Twin solution for improved decision-making. Sweden and Singapore collaborate on the project.

The MATER-AM project aims to propel the transition towards resource-efficient, resilient and, circular supply chains within the framework of Swedish export companies. Through Additive Manufacturing (AM), the project aims to develop digital spare part distribution, built on decentralized, demand-dri…

The project aims to develop and demonstrate a fossil-free, efficient logistics solution as well as the ecosystem (collaboration, regulations, infrastructure) required to success in the transition to fossil-free and sustainable transport. The hypothesis is to be able to reduce the number of deliveri…

Hydrogen as a fuel has been considered in previous studies as a practical and economic possibility for heavy forestry transports to achieve zero emissions. This project aims to analyze how the practical value chain should come together in Värmland for hydrogen-powered forestry transports to become …

The HCT Duo Demo project tests the use of longer vehicle combinations for transport on the route between Hallsberg and Örebro. The purpose is to investigate, among other things, the effects of using the longer vehicle crew regarding transport efficiency, transport costs and traffic safety.

The COMPASS II project, financed by Västra Götalandsregionen, sought to strengthen the knowledge in additive manufacturing along the entire value chain. Increased knowledge and collaboration between industry, academia and research institute is valuable for companies operating in the region, and for…

In order to identify which components are suitable for additive manufacturing (AM), both technical and business selection criteria needs to be used. The purpose of this project was to investigate the possibility of expanding the technical selection criteria with business values ​​such as reduced in…

The project goal is to propose a common direction for a fossil-free and sustainable, digitised and open goods handling system that meets the future needs for the development of the event area in Gothenburg. This project is a part of Gothenburg Green City Zone.

SmartDelta is a 3-year ITEA multinational research project coordinated by RISE which aims to build automated solutions for quality assessment of product deltas in a continuous engineering environment.

RISE coordinated the work packages: Access and Control & Logistics and Systemeffects within the national R&D program for High Capacity Land Transport.

The project is a feasibility study on how cities can plan, and build, to meet future needs regarding deliveries to homes and businesses. This includes issues regarding the creation of a nice urban environment, while securing people's needs for deliveries and waste management.

Tomorrow's fossil free goods transport system must be resilient -- that is, tolerant to surprises. The REFOG pre-study start the work of identifying problems, challenges and opportunities associated to the transition to a fossil free transport system.

The hypothesis in the project is that the number of trucks in cities can be reduced by 50%. A large number of all heavy goods transports in cities carry excavated material from infrastructure projects. By using 5 axles instead of 3, a double payload can be loaded and the CO2-emissions can be reduce…
