  • C-Ports: a Proposal for a Comprehensive Standardization and Implementation Plan of Digital Services Offered by the “Port of the Future”
    C-Ports: a proposal for a comprehensive standardization and implementation plan of digital services offered by the “Port of the Future” Paolo Pagano (*) Abstract—In this paper we address the topic of a possible path to standardize the ICT services expected to be delivered by the so- called “Port of the Future”. A survey of the most relevant technologies and Information Systems used by the Port Communities for their businesses is discussed together with a detailed analysis of the on-going actions carried on by Standard Setting Organizations. Considering the examples given by the C-ITS Platform and the C-Roads programme at EU level, a proposal of contents to be considered in a comprehensive standardization action is proposed. The innovation services are therefore grouped into four bundles: (i) Vessel & Marine Navigation, (ii) e-Freight & (Intermodal) Logistics, (iii) Passenger Transport, (iv) Environmental control. Considering the good practice and the background offered by the Port of Livorno in terms of innovation actions, the prospected final user applications are then labeled as Day 1, Day 1.5, and Day 2 services in consideration of the technical and commercial gaps to be filled. Index Terms — 5G mobile communication, Real-Time Systems, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Connected Vessel, e-Freight, IoT-based monitoring, Port Community Systems, Terminal Operating Systems. I. INTRODUCTION eaports are genuine intermodal Points of Interest connecting seaways to inland transport links such as roads and railways. S Seaports are located at the focal point of institutional, industrial, and control activities, in a jungle of interconnected information systems. As seaports operate in freight and passenger businesses, the main vertical applications are in the domain of logistics and digital offer targeted to citizens and tourists.
