Program Director's Recommendation Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) Proposal #1332047, 1332007, 1331997, 1331989 This proposal seeks funding for the Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) located at Virginia Tech, Clemson University, the University of California-Berkeley, and the University of Arkansas. Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 11-570. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. The Physical Internet (PI) is envisioned as a transformative, open, global, intermodal logistics system that utilizes standard, modular, reusable containers, real-time identification, and routing through shared logistics facilities. In the proposed research, the PIs focus on two aspects of operations: (1) algorithms for container-level processes so as to build loads in the PI and handle these loads at intermodal interfaces; and (2) algorithms for system-level processes so as to route, schedule and coordinate loads that flow through the PI. CELDi is in a unique position to advance the PI for a sustainable logistics future. The broader impacts of the proposed research include the potential to dramatically increase the efficiency of freight transportation systems. Direct benefits to member organizations include access to the algorithms and operational insights developed as part of this research. Other direct benefits are likely to result as data from member organizations are used to test the algorithms through insights into their data and potential operational improvements. Member organizations will have early access to the results of the research. Indirect benefits include enhancing the reputation and attractiveness of CELDi as an organization, which is likely to lead to better retention and recruitment of CELDi members.

项目主任推荐物流和配送卓越中心 (CELDi) 提案 #1332047、1332007、1331997、1331989 该提案为位于弗吉尼亚理工大学、克莱姆森大学、加州大学伯克利分校和阿肯色大学的物流和配送卓越中心 (CELDi) 寻求资金。基础研究的资助申请由 NSF 批准的征集 NSF 11-570 授权。此次征集邀请 I/UCRC 提交支持行业定义的基础研究的提案。物理互联网（PI）被设想为一个变革性的、开放的、全球性的多式联运物流系统，它利用标准、模块化、可重复使用的容器、实时识别以及通过共享物流设施的路由。在拟议的研究中，PI重点关注两个方面的操作：（1）集装箱级流程的算法，以便在PI中构建负载并在联运接口处处理这些负载； (2)系统级进程的算法，以便路由、调度和协调流经PI的负载。 CELDi 处于独特的地位，可以推动 PI 实现可持续物流的未来。拟议研究的更广泛影响包括显着提高货运系统效率的潜力。成员组织的直接好处包括获得作为本研究的一部分开发的算法和运营见解。由于来自成员组织的数据被用来通过深入了解其数据和潜在的运营改进来测试算法，因此可能会产生其他直接好处。成员组织将能够尽早获得研究结果。间接好处包括提高 CELDi 作为一个组织的声誉和吸引力，这可能会更好地保留和招募 CELDi 成员。
