Request-Allocation in Dynamic Collaborative Transportation Planning Problems

Conference paper
Part of the Operations Research Proceedings book series (ORP)

Abstract

Several publications on collaborative transportation planning problems (CTPPs) focus on schemes that ensure a fair assignment of collaborative profits. However, it is seldom taken into account that an even allocation of transportation resources (e.g. transportation requests) is also responsible for the viability and stability of horizontal carrier coalitions; particularly if dynamic CTPPs are considered. In this paper, the winner determination problem (WDP) of an auction-based request exchange is restricted by lower and upper bounds that respect an equality between transferred and received requests for carriers. In a computational study, the restricted WDP is applied to the dynamic collaborative traveling salesman problem.
