LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Major collaborative project CDM@Airports commences around Schiphol Inholland University of Applied Sciences and a broad consortium of public and private organisations have received a subsidy from Topsector Logistiek for the CDM@Airports project. The project’s objective is to improve cooperation in landside air cargo operations at airports. In order to be able to achieve this, the project partners will try to discover ways of exchanging logistical data so that the logistical process at airports becomes more efficient and effective. This will be undertaken from three different angles: collaborative decision making (CDM), sustainability and data-driven logistics. As coordinator, Inholland is establishing a Living Lab to develop design-oriented solutions together with companies, researchers and students.

History
T
he basis for the CDM@airports project was laid in January 2020 when Inholland and Cargohub began the project TruckingCDM 1.0. In that year six definition studies were carried out with five partners with the aim of improving digital cooperation between airlines (AirBridgeCargo Airlines), handling agents (dnata and Menzies), truckers (Wallenborn) and forwarder (Fast Forward Freight). In 2021 TruckingCDM 1.0 was successfully followed by TruckingCDM 2.0. Even more parties became involved in the TruckingCDM 2.0 project and new digital products were developed for the IT platform TruckingCDM. Inholland University of Applied Sciences then applied for a subsidy from Topsector Logistiek. In

the autumn of 2021 a two-year subsidy was granted. The project, renamed ‘CDM@airports’, has therefore entered
the next phase and has become even more wide-ranging. Collaboration partners in a study environment with Digital Twin All partners will collaborate in a so-called Living Lab wherein business, researchers and students will all deliver valuable contributions towards dealing with structural logistical problems at airports. The collaborative business partners mirror all parties active in the core landside operations processes at airports. Logistical service providers will also add their expertise in order
