Important results from the project
The project aimed to develop a neutral digital platform for coordinating transport in sparsely populated areas such as Norrbotten and Gotland. It focused on three areas: the technical development of the neutral collaboration platform; business models and stakeholder collaboration relating to transport; and understanding the impacts at policy and societal levels. All objectives are considered to have been met. Collaboration among stakeholders has laid a solid foundation for continued development.
Expected long term effects
The project demonstrated that coordinated transport can increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact, but that success requires trust, clear lines of responsibility and solutions that protect privacy. Structural challenges, such as a lack of standardised data and the need for regional coordination, are barriers to large-scale implementation. The results provide a clear basis for the next steps in terms of technology, business modelling and policy work for coordination of transport.
Approach and implementation
The project was successfully carried out in two pilots: P1 in Norrbotten focused on parcel deliveries and placement of parcel boxes in collaboration with the Region, municipalities and iBoxen; P2 on Gotland analyzed business models for and visualization of regional transportation in collaboration with the Region, Tillväxt Gotland and entrepreneurs. The work used iterative processes where technical solutions, business models, organizational conditions and collaborations were developed in parallel
