The initiative, that it sees the coming participation of partner from Spain, France, Slovenia and Italy, has the scope to construct a computer science platform in a position to supporting the decision maker of the field of the transports and the logistics to the aim to favor a more efficient and less expensive modal division.
The ARTEMIS system will allow to weigh for a same transport goods the costs, the times and the environmental impact generated from each possible modal alternative allowing to choose the solution from time to time more interesting according to the type of goods and the requirements of the market.

The today's reunion has seen the participation, as well as of the representatives of the partner of the project coordinated by Tommaso Riccoboni, president of Nethun, also of some important stakeholder involved to the aim to verify that system-specific informative ARTEMIS is compatible with the requirements and the wished one of the market.
