About
Alonso Llorente is a leading researcher in the field of inland waterway transport (IWT), where his work is driving the transition toward safer, more autonomous navigation systems. His primary research focuses on High Definition (HD) mapping for inland waterways, a critical area that addresses the unique challenges of applying advanced driver-assistance and autonomous technologies to river and canal environments. In his most-cited work, "High Definition Mapping for Inland Waterways: Techniques, Challenges and Prospects" (2023), Llorente provides a comprehensive analysis of the methodologies and obstacles in creating precise, real-time maps for IWT. This foundational paper has already garnered 5 citations, signaling its growing influence in a niche but vital domain of transportation research. By tackling the specific needs of waterway infrastructure—such as variable water levels, narrow channels, and dynamic obstacles—Llorente is helping to unlock the potential of mass goods transport that is both energy-efficient and ecologically sustainable. His contributions are paving the way for a future where inland shipping is not only greener but also smarter and safer.
