The H&S logic makes it possible to reduce the connections necessary for the interchange of goods and the negative impacts on cost and service generated by cargo shortages. The H&S method requires the concentration of traffic in a few points (hubs) that fan the goods out towards peripheral structures (spokes) from which the final deliveries can be sent out.
