Freight systems and city logistics

Enabling highly efficient, integrated urban freight networks with reduced environmental impacts.

Our Physical Internet Lab is the Australian hub of a global research and development network that is transforming freight and logistic systems.

Our focus

  • Planning, designing, evaluating and trialing integrated freight systems
  • Designing networks to consolidate freight, better matching modes of transport with loads and roads
  • Identifying locations to optimise the capacity of transport hubs and links
  • Designing digital platforms that facilitate the sharing of freight resources by increasing the visibility of available capacity
  • Using gamification to help industry participants learn, experiment and test integrated freight systems.
