Smart grid operator platform enabling shared, integrated and more sustainable urban freight logistics (Senator) get benefit from Ardoorthe blockchain, for urban planning policies to design sustainable last-mile operations, the latest reports appear on July 20.
Senator and urban planning policies
SENATOR is funded by the European Commission and leverages blockchain technology in its urban planning policies. Its main goal is to design decentralized and transparent last-mile operations, with an emphasis on sustainability and security. The platform, coordinated by Correos, an international consortium managing the affairs of the SENATOR project, aims to create an integrated intelligent network operator with an advanced urban freight logistics system, with a primary focus on improving freight delivery services in urban areas.
By reducing the distance and number of ways to deliver goods within cities, SENATOR aims to enhance real-time information gathering, planning and forecasts for critical sections of its work.
SENATOR plans to integrate a digital identity solution known as SENATOR ID, which addresses the needs of individual users and entities, including Internet of Things (IoT) objects and vehicles. This approach allows SENATOR to address various current and future use cases and challenges, enhancing its adaptability and usefulness.
Real-world testing of the project is scheduled in two cities, Zaragoza in Spain and Dublin in Ireland. These cities contain the Urban Living Labs, which provide test environments suitable for the SENATOR approach.
Users will be able to access the SENATOR platform and its services through an easy-to-use app, while third-party platforms and developers can take advantage of the project’s solutions through a native API, encouraging further adoption and integration.
SENATOR teams up with Ardor and Jelurida
SENATOR’s collaboration with Ardor blockchain and Jelurida, the blockchain development company responsible for Ardor, enables its innovative functionality.
Ardor is a multi-chain blockchain platform featuring parent-chain and child-chain architecture. As the parent chain, Ardor provides the security and functionality required for the access interoperable child chain, providing the flexibility needed for real-world applications.
The Ardor family of technologies also facilitates interconnection between other blockchains, which enhances interoperability and makes it a suitable choice for running decentralized SENATOR operations.
Furthermore, the Ardor blockchain allows for transaction traceability, enabling tracking of critical operations such as the exchange of shipments between different logistics operators and cold chain variants.
During the proof-of-concept phase of SENATOR, the SENATOR Ardor Node node can access the public Ardor blockchain and its central database. This approach guarantees scalability and high throughput, ensuring consistent optimal operations.
