In its effort to strengthen resilience of Critical Infrastructure across Europe, TRANSCEND project has established synergies with the ReMuNet project, an EU-funded project focusing on optimising capacity allocation, suggesting transshipment points, and orchestrating route utilisation to minimise disruption impacts and reduce recovery times.
While TRANSCEND aims to safeguard critical freight infrastructure against both cyber and non-cyber threats, ReMuNet focuses on enabling a real-time, adaptive response to disruptions in multimodal transport through advanced route planning and network orchestration. By addressing complementary dimensions of resilience – strategic protection and operational flexibility – the two projects create a unified framework for strengthening the European freight network.
Together, these projects address complementary aspects of transport resilience, ReMuNet tackles operational adaptation, while TRANSCEND strengthens infrastructural protection.
More about ReMuNet
ReMuNet is dedicated to identifying and addressing disruptive events that impact multimodal transport corridors, enabling swift and seamless real-time responses. By supporting Transport Management System (TMS) providers, ReMuNet enhances route planning resilience and delivers alternative, pre-defined multimodal transport routes to logistics operators. These routes are then relayed to truck drivers, locomotive operators, and barge captains, facilitating a faster and more adaptive network response.
As a pioneer for the Physical Internet, ReMuNet’s ultimate aim is to promote synchro-modal relay transport across European rail, road, and inland waterways. This approach increases network resilience, significantly reduces emissions, and improves the efficiency of freight transport corridors during disruptive events.
To achieve these goals, ReMuNet employs a standardised method for describing multimodal transport networks, an advanced algorithm for real-time route alternatives and capacity utilisation, and a collaborative platform that connects freight operators. Additionally, the project integrates reinforcement learning to model and evaluate alternative transport routes, paving the way for a self-learning, adaptive freight transport network across Europe.
TRANSCEND and ReMuNet featured in the Resilient Transport Networks series by ALICE ETP
On 10 June 2025, TRANSCEND and ReMuNet jointly participated in the webinar “Tackling Disruptions: Innovative Solutions for Resilient and Sustainable Transport Networks”, the third webinar of the series Resilient Transport Networks hosted by ALICE ETP. This has been a main stage to showcase together the solutions elaborated within both projects to face disruption to freight transport systems.
The synergy between TRANSCEND and ReMuNet marks a meaningful step forward in building a smarter, more resilient freight network.
