交换货物能力是物流方面一种行之有效的办法。然而，只有少数物流市场能够考虑到不同物流承运人的不同运输路线组合可以产生的协同效应。为了充分发挥这些协同效应，我们设计并实现了以利润中心结构为组织结构的物流公司内部交货订单交换的组合交换机制mcomexx。如果客户的地理位置允许相邻利润中心降低交货成本，则每个利润中心都能够向相邻利润中心发布交货订单。我们证明，通过使用comexmechanism，我们的物流公司的运输总成本可以降低高达14%。由于我们的迭代拍卖机制非常复杂，因此资源密集，我们通过将凸包方法与基于距离的成本估算器相结合来降低复杂性。
The exchange of cargo capacities is a well established approach in logistics. However, only few logistics marketplaces are able to take into consideration synergies that can be generated by combining different transportation routes of different logistics carrierps. In order to exploit these synergies, we designed and implemented the combinatorial exchange mechanismComExfor the intra-enterprise exchange of delivery orders in a logistics company organized in a profit center structure. Each profit center is able to release delivery orders to an adjacent profit center if the geographic locations of the customers allow for a reduced-cost delivery by the adjacent profit center. We demonstrate that by using theComExmechanism, the total cost of transportation of our logistics company can be reduced by up to 14%. Since our iterative auction mechanism is very complex and therefore resource-intensive, we reduce the complexity by applying a convex hull approach combined with a distance-based cost estimator.
