Applied Research Projects
One of the main goals for the Georgia Tech Panama Logistics Innovation and Research Center is to create models of country-level logistics capabilities that will support the decision-making process for future investments and trade opportunities. Panamanian logistics assets, including seaports, airports, Panama Canal, Free Trade Zone, railroads, road networks, warehouse facilities, technology parks, logistics parks, among others need to be represented within a computer modeling and simulation tools to support performance analysis under varying conditions, integrate flows and provide visibility for both businesses and government sectors. Data and information about each asset and their interaction are being gathered and analyzed to create data repositories that feed models conceptualized using the types of scenarios that will be studied in the future.
Combining an understanding about the Panama Logistics Environment, knowledge about the local, regional and global trade opportunities, and application of the models and indicators, the Center will specify and conduct targeted research, development and innovation tasks that are key to solve the main inefficiencies and shortcomings that exist and improve Panama’s logistics performance.
Panama Logistics Portal
This portal was conceived to facilitate access to a wide and centralized repository of information of the trade and logistics activities in Panama, as well as to enable shippers and logistics service providers to optimize the existing value of the logistics platform and expand their productive capacities.
Panama as a Resilient Hub
This project seeks to fully evaluate the risks that may affect the Panama Logistics Hub, providing methodologies and indicators for their measurement. A risk mitigation proposal will be documented, alongside the creation of an interactive web map that allows users to visualize and identify the critical risks of the conglomerate.
