Abstract
This Paper evaluates the impact of collaborative transport strategies and emerging technologies on an intercontinental transport network with a digital twin. The study assesses the effects of applying Physical Internet (PI) concepts and enabling technologies, such as Internet of Things, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, on the performance of the transport network, including key indicators such as carbon emissions, delivery performance, and logistics costs. Results show that implementing PI concepts and integrating these technologies can lead to improvements in environmental and economic indicators. Despite these benefits, there are several challenges to overcome, including the integration of these technologies into existing logistics systems, coordination among stakeholders, security and confidentiality. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential of these technologies and concepts to contribute to sustainable transportation systems, but further research is needed to evaluate their feasibility and scalability in real-world transportation networks, as well as to develop strategies to address the challenges.
