    Assessing the potentialities of Physical Internet for Developing Countries Last Mile deliveries
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-06) Ban, Sam ; Dan, Andreea ; Guinet, Félix ; Portanguen, Julien ; Srang, Sarot ; Lauras, Matthieu
    Developing countries are so particular as transports are often saturated, infrastructures are in poor condition and the demand is growing so fast. In such a context, the studied research question is: Does Physical Internet (PI) can improve the Last-Mile delivery performance in developing countries? And if so, how and how-much? To start answering this, the paper develops a quick literature analysis of PI solutions to identify which paradigms could bring added value to developing countries. Then, it presents a dedicated simulation-driven method able to assess the potential benefits and limits of applying PI to this specific situation. A Cambodian field-oriented case is finally presented as a very first ongoing experiment to validate the approach and a set of insights regarding further research able to deliver concrete recommendations for both practitioners and scholars is given.
