A pilot project from big data and fleet management specialist is being conducted, aimed at providing better overview of traffic at port for improved operational efficiency. The project is a collaboration of Traxens with the MSC Terminal Valencia, the Port Authority at the Port of Valencia and Fundacion Valenciaport (FVP) using the IoT network. The trial started in September 2018.
Namely, as announced on December 13, MSC Spain trucks are powered with Traxens’ IoT devices, enabling real-time tracking of movement of vehicles. This will help the Ports’ authorities to predict and manage potential traffic and truck arrivals at the gates.
