Strengthening Knowledge Management for Resilient and Sustainable Transport Systems: Insights from the KEYSTONE Project

The ongoing push for sustainable and resilient multimodal transport systems requires an innovative approach to managing knowledge within and between organisations, optimising the use of human resources, improving the social and working conditions of transport workforce, and addressing longstanding inefficiencies. The Horizon Europe KEYSTONE project tackles these challenges by developing a data, information and knowledge management framework designed to enhance operational efficiency, collaboration, and sustainability across the European logistics and transport sectors, while also empowering human resources in public control authorities and transport operators by reducing administrative burdens and increasing efficiency, consistency, and safety.
The KEYSTONE strategy focuses not only on streamlining knowledge flows between diverse stakeholders, including logistics operators, enforcement authorities, and infrastructure managers, but also on enhancing human decision-making and collaboration across those networks. Its primary innovation lies in the development of secure, standardised processes for knowledge sharing that promote transparency, collaboration, optimised operations, and cross-border compliance. These processes address
