The increase in last mile delivery poses numerous challenges for cities worldwide. Concepts such as the Physical Internet (PI) should support them on their way to more sustainable last mile logistics. Within the EU project DECARBOMILE, different approaches arise from a common overarching framework to decarbonise the last mile logistics and will be tested in four different cities. The measures to be implemented must be adapted to the respective local conditions according to their specific setups. After identifying, analysing and clustering the challenges of the different cities, the methodology involves to identify numerous gaps between the current and the desired situation. In order to close these gaps on the way to
decarbonising the last mile logistics, the project proposes a digital infrastructure concept with the two main components of a basic decision-support service with simulation capacities and a public-private digital infrastructure based on a decentralised Data Space architecture that will be developed within DECARBOMILE. The use of other IT tools depends on the specific
challenges of the cities. With its architecture, the proposed digital infrastructure core allows each city to operate as a local node of a decentralised, federated, pan-EU network compatible with the PI paradigm.
