Valenciaport uses AI to predict the flow of trucks
Valenciaport and AI specialist Nextport have developed an artificial intelligence tool assisted by data technology professionals, which will adjust the traffic of cargo vehicles in Valencian ports.
The tool, which is in the pilot phase, is fed by the data managed by Valenciaport and is crossed with other variables such as holidays by country or meteorology, which help to forecast the behaviour of land traffic
The port said in a release that the system is a competitive advantage both for terminals – which will know the workload by time slot – and for carriers – which will have a real timetable planning.
“With this tool, which combines big data technology, digital twin, simulation and artificial intelligence, a more dynamic, real-time and prescriptive decision-making process is promoted,” said Jose García de la Guía, senior product manager at Nextport.
