Call	Potential of the Physical Internet
Description of call "Potential of the Physical Internet"	The main challenge is to model a future Physical Internet network topology and assess the benefits it could generate in terms of carbon footprint, throughout times and cost reductions. Additionally the concept of the Physical Internet, already identified by ALICE (Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe), needs to be detailed into a strategic and operational vision which has the capability to get industry-wide endorsement of all stakeholders.
