Abstract
In the context of Physical Internet, where dynamic consolidation and flexible multi player operations are required, the current large-scale integer programming based package transportation network operations may not only become inflexible and computationally heavy, but can often create significant ad-hoc plan changes. This paper presents a conceptual framework of an alternative way of designing, planning, and operating a package transportation network, Hyperconnected Package Transport Logistics Infrastructure (HyPTLI), inspired by the Physical Internet Initiative. The HyPTLI framework leverages five distinctive features of Physical Internet: multi-tier interlaced mesh networks, service-based package routing schemes, dynamic containerized consolidation, service-driven on-demand inter-hub shuttling, and open protocols and digital platform. The paper describes the design components of HyPTLI and positions them into a comprehensive design framework.
