AILogLab
The ambition of the AILogLab is to nurture AI technology into its application in freight logistics, with anemphasis on data- and model-driven technology as part of the solution in the sector roadmap towardsefficient, sustainable, equitable and resilient freight transport systems. In this way the AILogLab creates aninternational centre of excellence in AI-based innovation for the logistics sector. The research programme ofAILogLab consists of six tracks (four of which have initiated; tracks 5 and 6 are planned for future addition tothe lab), with a focus on the application of AI methods for decision making in the logistics domain. Thesetracks are illustrated in the following diagram and explained in the remainder of this section.
The AILogLab exists to leverage the power of AI for the many challenges faced by the logistics sector, with the
vision of creating a more efficient, sustainable, equitable and resilient freight transportation system. Four
faculties of the TU Delft are engaged in development of AI tools and methods, researching multiple aspects of
freight transportation and logistics, in collaboration and shared ownership with private and public sector
partners. Application areas of these co-created advances include logistics demand modelling and prediction;
logistics operations such as scheduling; asset utilisation and planning; autonomous freight transport;
infrastructure operations; and freight transport policy. Together the AILogLab strives to be an international
centre of excellence in AI-based innovation for the logistics sector.
