We are pleased to announce the realization of the joint GOOD ROUTE and EURIDICE International workshop, organised with the support of SMARTFREIGHT and ROADIDEA European Projects, "ICT in Transport Logistics" The workshop was held at Lucerne, Switzerland, from Monday the 3rd of November to Wednesday the 5th of November 2008.

GOOD ROUTE is a EU co-funded specific targeted research project which aims to develop a cooperative system for dangerous goods vehicles through route monitoring, re-routing (in case of need) enforcement and driver support, based upon dynamic, real time data, in order to minimise the societal risks related to their movements, whereas still generating the most cost efficient solution for all actors involved in their logistic chain.

EURIDICE is an Integrated Project co-funded by the EU, ICT programme. The basic concept of EURIDICE is to build an information services platform centred on the individual cargo item and on its interaction with the surrounding environment and the user. For more information, you may refer to http://www.euridice-project.eu.

This International Workshop brought together all stakeholders in the area of transport logistics, such as experts, developers and senior representatives at companies and organisations involved in the logistics and road transportation sector, as well as representatives from the European Commission.

During the workshop, the GOOD ROUTE Closing Event took place where the results of the GOOD ROUTE project were presented and discussed. The workshop also included plenary and keynote presentations from key stakeholders (EC, logistic chain representatives, transport authorities, researchers, etc.).
