“…It is a peer-to-peer bilateral collaboration between carriers who are motivated by at least three goals, i.e. reduce transport costs (Hernández, Peeta, and Kalafatas 2011;Buijs et al 2016), acquire external capacity to serve excess requests (Hernández and Peeta 2014), or improve services for the (same) client (Puettmann and Stadtler 2010). Practical examples include collaboration between express carriers, for example, Fedex (in the US) and Chronopost (in France) collaborating to improve local delivery services and efficiency in both countries.…”

Horizontal collaboration has been considered as effective practice for sustainable logistics and freight transport and it has gained increased attention in recent years. This paper aims to provide a survey of the development of horizontal collaborative transport (HCT) over the past ten years, to identify research trends and gaps, then to propose some research opportunities. The paper also aims to provide guidelines to logistics companies who wish to embark on HCT, to help them choose which HCT solution to implement. To provide a comprehensive and structured review, the paper follows the methodology for Systematic Literature Review proposed in the literature. A total of 120 scientific papers published between 2007 and 2017 were reviewed. A survey framework based on two axes-HCT solutions and implementation issues-is developed to analyse and position the papers. The results show that, regarding HCT solutions, carrier alliance and flow controller collaboration were the most frequently studied. But recent innovative solutions such as pooling and physical internet are also gaining increased attention. Regarding implementation issues, the focus of the literature has been on the development of decisionmaking models, including transport planning, lane exchange, and gain sharing. Conversely, managerial and technological issues have received less attention.

When containers are transported on a-modal bookings, the transport supplier can decide which combination of trucks, trains, ships, etc. to use. This gives the flexibility to transport suppliers to route the containers in accordance with the current state of the synchromodal transport network. At the same time, it enables the transport providers to route their vehicles in real time based on the current need for transportation. The interdependency of the routes of containers and of vehicles has not yet been discussed explicitly in the synchromodal literature. The aim of this paper is thus to illustrate the effect of planning the routes of containers and trucks as one integrated problem. This is addressed with a model predictive control planning method. Simulation experiments of a synchromodal hinterland network are used to illustrate the method's potential.

The cost of incentive compatibility in auction‐based mechanisms for carrier collaboration

2018

Collaboration has been one of the important trends in vehicle routing. A typical mechanism to enable carrier collaboration is to use combinatorial auctions, where requests are not traded individually but are combined into bundles. Previous literature on carrier collaboration has focused on issues such as bundle formation or winner determination, typically assuming truthfulness of all agents and absence of any strategic behavior. This article considers the interdependencies and problems that arise from bidders acting as buyers and sellers of requests at the same time. From standard auction theory, desirable properties of exchange mechanisms are identified as efficiency, incentive compatibility, individual rationality, and budget balance. It is shown that these desirable properties cannot be fulfilled at the same time. In particular, the properties efficiency and incentive compatibility induce that budget balance is violated, that is, an outside subsidy is required. We propose two incentive compatible exchange mechanisms. One is more closely related to the classical VCG approach, while the other one uses a more complicated concept for computing payments to participants. A numerical study investigates how frequently desired properties are violated. We show that both mechanisms can be acceptable in practical situations, but none of them can satisfy all desired properties.
