Future Hubs on the Background of the Physical Internet Implementation
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2018, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
The Physical Internet (PI) is the matter of time. There is not any other concept of future logistics so simple and so complicated at the same time. Simple, because we all do it now with data. Complicated, because goods are not as flexible as figures. The range of required transformation of hubs technology before implementing of the Physical Internet is massive. Some technologies require only modification, other inventions, not possible nowadays. But it can be assumed that from technological point of view it will be possible to improve the hubs to the required level till 2050. There is still an unsolved matter of financing and organization.
