TRA 2026
TRA 2026 (Transport Research Arena) is the largest and most prestigious European conference on research and innovation in the transport sector, organized biennially by the European Commission and the main professional partners of the sector. Under the motto “Re-Generation in Transport”, the conference brings together researchers, policymakers, and professionals to address all modes of transport and aspects of mobility, with a special focus on decarbonization, digitalization, infrastructure resilience, and user-centered mobility.

Maritime transport generates significant emissions in port areas, and tugboats are a major contributor. Through a methodology that integrates AIS data, on-board campaigns, and simulation, it has been observed that these vessels operate most of the time at a very low engine load, which causes an unnecessary increase in consumption. The developed models achieve high accuracy in identifying maneuvering phases and improve power estimation compared to conventional methods. This approach allows for more accurate emissions inventories and opens the door to real-time optimization systems to reduce the environmental impact in ports.
