more infoHow can companies benefit from nighttime deliveries using electric trucks? With SNAP (Silent Night Analysis and Planning), Fraunhofer IML provides a digital solution for assessing and planning low-noise nighttime logistics. Using geospatial data, the tool analyzes locations, identifies potential, and supports the cost-effective implementation of nighttime logistics concepts.
SNAP helps companies plan low-noise nighttime logistics using electric trucks. Based on aerial imagery, geospatial data, and OpenStreetMap, the tool assesses locations, identifies opportunities for nighttime deliveries, and provides specific recommendations. This enables companies to optimize routes, prepare for approval processes, and improve the efficiency of their logistics operations.
