Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster

Abstract

Upon the numerous research fields arising from the Physical Internet (PI) concept, PI Hubs are one of the key elements to realize a future PI. PI Hubs, synonymous to nodes in the Digital Internet, represent the transition points of a future PI network and can be described as a node where PI-containers switch from one logistics service to another. They represent a gateway between two logistics networks, change of mode of transport, change of vehicle, coupling/decoupling, etc
