P-CAL (Port-Connected and Automated Logistics) Autonomous Logistics Project

under construction

The P-CAL project is a pioneering initiative to demonstrate autonomous container transport at the Port of Tyne. It involves deploying a fully autonomous terminal tractor and a secure mesh communication network to move containers between the dockside and the container compound, operating within a complex quayside environment with real-time coordination with cranes and integration with Terminal Operating Systems. The project aims to showcase scalable, safe, and commercially viable autonomous logistics solutions supporting the UK's Net Zero goals while enhancing efficiency and safety.
