Key contributions to ‘Access the Physical Internet through a logistics network and mind shifts required to adopt the concept of PI’ |
|
Successfully demonstrated of technologies and protocols testing PI based tools and approaches in order to facilitate further adoption of the PI paradigm (Generation 1). |
|
|
Developed and demonstrated urban consolidation centres and demand responsive mile delivery solutions (generations 1 and 2). |
|
|
Developed a smart specialized logistics cluster for the chemical industry in the Port of Antwerp in order to shift transport volumes from road to rail freight. It developed a new pallet (LWL - less than wagon load) and created a new added value rail freight service enabling modal shift through automation for the industry within the Antwerp chemical cluster (generation 1). |

|
Developed and demonstrated collaborative last-mile delivery services (zero- emission, shared and crowdsourced) in city centres offer a solution for the on-demand delivery of goods to customers and businesses in a flexible, cost-effective, practical, and sustainable way (generations 1 and 2). |
|
Enhanced, and stabilized a solid framework for industry, research and public bodies to share advances, barriers, opportunities and best practices regarding Physical Internet implementation to facilitate the mind-shift to adopt the concept of PI. It build awareness and raise wide consensus on the Detailed Roadmap towards the Physical Internet developed in the frame of the project (generations 1 and 2). |
