Research in collaboration with Orange won the Best Sustainable Supply Chain Article Award by France Supply Chain

The paper “Cognitive digital twins for freight parking management in last mile delivery under smart cities paradigm” published on Computers in Industry in 2023, by

Yu Liu, Shenle Pan and Eric Ballot (CGS, Mines Paris, PSL University), and Pauline Folz, Fano Ramparany, Sébastien Bolle, Thierry Coupaye (Orange)

has won the Best Sustainable Supply Chain Article Award by France Supply Chain 2024.

The paper investigates how Cognitive Digital Twins (i.e., Digital Twins with augmented semantic capabilities) can enhance real-time knowledge of parking connectivity to optimize logistics operations planning and urban resource allocation. A case study of parcel delivery in Paris, using Orange’s Thing’in platform, demonstrates the real-world application and the social and environmental impacts of the research.
