A recent meeting brought together representatives from the HS4U and ReMuNet projects to explore potential synergies between their research objectives. While focusing on different sectors, the projects identified areas where collaboration could enhance their individual goals.

Despite operating in distinct sectors—maritime and multimodal transport—HS4U and ReMuNet share core goals:

  1. Crisis resilience
    Both projects are committed to improving system resilience. HS4U focuses on maritime health crises, while ReMuNet addresses disruptions in multimodal transport. By collaborating, they can exchange insights on data-driven approaches for real-time crisis detection and management.
  2. Technology and innovation
    Advanced technologies are central to both projects. HS4U employs IoT devices, co-robotics, and AI to monitor health conditions, while ReMuNet utilises reinforcement learning and optimisation algorithms to adapt transport operations dynamically. Joint efforts in technology development could lead to breakthroughs that benefit both sectors.
  3. Sustainability and efficiency
    Environmental sustainability is a shared priority. HS4U explores smart systems for healthier onboard environments, and ReMuNet enhances network efficiency to reduce emissions. Together, they can advocate for sustainable practices across transport and maritime sectors.
  4. Cross-sectoral collaboration
    Both initiatives recognise the value of standardised frameworks and best practices. Their collaboration could lead to unified methodologies applicable to diverse transport modes, strengthening the overall European mobility ecosystem.

This initial meeting marks the start of a collaboration aimed at exchanging knowledge and practices. By working together, HS4U and ReMuNet aim to achieve more resilient, sustainable, and efficient systems in their respective domains.
