Physical Internet Enabled Hyperconnected City Logistics

City Logistics and Physical Internet are two major concepts aiming to profoundly change freight transportation and logistics for increased economic, environmental and societal efficiency and sustainability. They share several basic ideas and are complementary, City Logistics providing the final and last segments of the Physical Internet logistics and transportation networks. The authors present the first study of the links and synergy between them, introducing the idea of Hyperconnected City Logistics systems and its nine fundamental concepts making up a rich framework for designing efficient and sustainable urban logistics and transportation systems. The authors conclude with a number of research and innovation challenges.
