Solutions de mobilité urbaine à Thun

Thun is Switzerland's defence logistics capital and the gateway to the Bernese Oberland — a city where military supply chain security, Alpine resort access, and lakeside intermodal logistics operate simultaneously from the same road network. RUAG and the Swiss Army maintain Switzerland's largest logistics depot in Thun, and every commercial carrier operating in the city must navigate the security perimeter, dual-use goods controls, and air-gapped data requirements that military supply chains demand. With 8Move, operators can enforce carrier security clearance verification and RUAG campus access credential management, storing all military consignment data in an isolated partition with role-based access restricted to cleared operators.

The Thunersee ferry network creates an intermodal delivery layer for lakeshore villages — Spiez, Oberhofen, and Hilterfingen can be served by road or by BLS Schifffahrt vessel, but only if departure windows are respected. With 8Move, operators can integrate BLS vessel timetables and co-optimise combined road-to-Schiffstation-and-onward-boat routes, padding road ETA to match vessel departure windows.

Bernese Oberland mountain access roads to Adelboden, Kandersteg, and Lenk close seasonally with less than 48 hours' notice. With 8Move, operators can monitor 14 Bernese Oberland mountain access routes via Kanton Bern Tiefbauamt feeds, automatically flagging and rescheduling affected resort deliveries with customer notifications when closures are confirmed. For fleet management and relocation services operators transferring personnel between Bern, Thun, and the alpine resorts, this real-time Alpine awareness is the critical operational intelligence that no map application provides.

Défis locaux

RUAG and Swiss Army logistics depot operations in Thun require security-cleared carrier vetting, dual-use goods documentation, and access control workflows absent from commercial TMS platforms
Thunersee ferry and boat services create an intermodal layer for lakeshore villages — deliveries to Spiez, Oberhofen, and Hilterfingen require boat timetable sequencing that road-only optimisers ignore
Bernese Oberland mountain resort access roads close seasonally — routing to Adelboden, Kandersteg, and Lenk requires winter-road-status awareness updated from Kanton Bern road management feeds
Thun Expo events generate concentrated freight volumes in Allmendingen and Schadau Park zones where available loading access is limited to two controlled entry points
