Abstract

At the end of the 1990s, e-commerce emerged out of networks of individuals and merchandise. This transformation of the retail trade modified flows of information and freight by extending supply chains to end customers in urban areas, which were neither designed nor organized to handle this change of logistics. This increase in traffic has marred urban areas by worsening congestion, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This organization is hardly tenable, and the logistics of freight must be redesigned. For this purpose, the idea of organizing the flow of merchandise by drawing from the ideas of packet-switching on the Internet opens a new perspective for handling economic and environmental problems and seeing to the sustainability of this new form of commerce. Logistic platforms would thus be "smart hubs" capable of processing flows of merchandise, independently of senders and receivers, so as to become a link in a physical internet, which alone will be capable of managing an optimized flow of merchandise.
