Popis: One of today's most significant challenges is sustainability, which is closely linked to environmentally friendly solutions and resource efficiency. As a solution to these goals, the concept of the Physical Internet emerged, defining the logistics network of the future as a global, open, and interconnected system. Concerning the conditions of vehicles based on Physical Internet-based systems, we cannot ignore the latest vehicle technology innovations that appear more and more intensively in parallel. The framework proposes planning at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Different levels of coordination implement different approaches to platoon coordination in line with the network architecture of PI-based logistics systems. We recommend the highest level of offline design in fixed π-hubs. The tactical level involves designing π-hubs online. We propose the implementation of speed-based solutions at the operational planning level.
