What is it?
The IUE, Unique Address Identifier (IUE) is a code that unequivocally identifies a physical address (domicile), allowing to improve two essential aspects:
Logistics Activity
postal distribution, technical assistance and utilities maintenance
Efficiency in waste management
only unsorted waste for determination of the bio-waste content
What are the advantages of the iue?
This integrated approach includes intelligent logistics solutions, based on collaboration and sharing, in order to optimize the number of vehicles and resources needed in various operations applied to the areas covered by the two living laboratories located in the parishes of Massamá e Monte Abraãowith improvements in the following indicators:
Annual reduction of CO2 emissions produced by waste management and urban logistics activities;
Reduction of kms traveled by vehicles involved in urban logistics operations in living labs;
Increased vehicle occupancy rate for last-mile deliveries;
Implementation of innovative mitigation/decarbonization measures.
