Simulation of Logistics and Transport Processes (SIMULTRA).

The project involves technical and professional training for the transport and logistics industry, which, notwithstanding its historical origins (as a military activity), has in recent years with globalisation acquired an importance in business, becoming a competitive tool developed through education and training. The aim of the project is the development of innovative tools and solutions that go hand in hand with the already existing programmes in order to achieve and enable work-based learning. The purpose of this project is to develop technology workshops and simulations that faithfully replicate the operations and procedures of the specific areas of transport (maritime, rail, road, intermodal) and logistics (warehouse and chain management) in order to shorten or eliminate the gap that separates training from the workplace, encouraging the hiring of young students by companies and reducing the "on-the-job" training times companies often have to resort to as they seek to bridge the void between theory and practice.
