Interaction between intelligent agent strategies for real-time transportation planning

Abstract: In this paper we study the real-time scheduling of time-sensitive full truckload pickup-and-delivery jobs. The problem involves the allocation of jobs to a fixed set of vehicles which might belong to different collaborating transportation agencies. A recently proposed solution methodology for this problem is the use of a multi-agent system where shipper agents offer jobs through sequential auctions and vehicle agents bid on these jobs. In this paper we consider such a system where both the vehicle agents and t… Show more

“…(1) Centralised e-marketplace web portals, combining demand and supply in a temporally and spatially shared repository [12,13] and (2) Decentralised, agent-based e-marketplaces with a yellow-page dictionary service and distributed network of temporally and spatially distributed agents of supply chain partners [11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Each approach focuses on enriching some aspects of traditional supply chain management information systems.…”

“…Such systems are sensibly implemented to identify opportunities for improved supply chain efficiency and competitiveness, to help understand how companies operating in supply chains affect each other's performance, to support the supply chain in satisfying consumer requirements and to assess the result of an implemented initiative [8]. As stated by [9] for collaborative networks, supply chains also have the need for decentralized operations where partners conduct their planning autonomously and only exchange a limited amount of information. A frequently proposed solution concept for this purpose are auction mechanisms and, more specifically, multi-agent systems.…”
