Future hubs on the background of Physical Interment implementation

Wiktor Żuchowski

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 so elastic like figures. The range of required transformation of hubs technology before implementing of 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 required level till 2050. There is still unsolved matter of financing and organization.
