The TAPIN project aims to develop an intelligent, comprehensive, and pervasive system to improve operations, safety, and environmental sustainability in high-traffic port environments, both commercial/industrial and tourist-oriented. The objective is to extend the smart port paradigm to port areas with a tourist and residential focus, complementing the digitalization already underway in commercial and passenger terminals and contributing to meeting the requirements for green ports.
By combining advanced computer vision techniques with intelligent data management, the system monitors and analyzes the movements of vehicles and people to identify bottlenecks, safety violations, and potential risks. In parallel, the system collects and processes large volumes of data from various sources—such as sensors measuring air quality, pollutants, particulate matter, acoustic comfort, and water quality—providing a detailed overview of the health and safety status of the port environment.
The project has integrated solutions already available on the market to create a complete industrial service, equipped with real-time monitoring dashboards and validated in an actual operational context, consisting of the port of Reggio Calabria. Particular attention has been paid to data protection and privacy, while ensuring scalability and future adaptability.
Results:
The project has enabled the development of a complete and functional version of an intelligent system prototype, based on enabling technologies, capable of integrating information from heterogeneous sources and providing real-time indications regarding the status of the port environment to verify that safety and well-being standards for visitors and operators are guaranteed.
