Abstract
The aim of the innovative Physical Internet (PI) paradigm-shifting initiative is to reverse the unsustainability situation existing in current logistic systems. In the Physical Internet, the efficient management of crossdocking hubs is a key enabler of quick and synchronized transfer of containers across interconnected logistics networks. The paper focuses on the distributed control of truck loading protocols in a rail-road crossdocking hub. It proposes grouping strategies for truck loading based on the exploitation of active containers. The grouping approach, the simulation platform and the obtained results are successively detailed.
