Partnership freight transport

At the start of 2019 we joined the Dutch innovation partnership for freight transport, together with nine other companies, each with their own expertise in this field.

During the course of 2019 we worked together with other members on various projects within this partnership, mainly in relation to the development of a new version of BasGoed — the strategic model used by the Dutch government to calculate future scenarios for freight transport by road, waterway and rail.

Our main project was to extend the application with the possibility to add costs for specific origin-destination relations within the model. This is used for calculating scenarios that, for example, implement heavy goods vehicle charges on the road or add rail charges for specific trajectories.

Furthermore, we worked on the visualization of BasGoed results, set up a GitLab environment with a strong focus on continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and had a consulting role in other projects.
