Engineering and Planning a Less Than Truck Loadsharing platform by combining information technology (IT) with urban data and operational research (OR) theory

该研究项目的目的是为零担卡车共享平台的工程设计和规划做出贡献 通过将信息技术（IT）与城市数据和运筹学（OR）理论相结合。 许多减少空卡车影响的计划都有共同的横向合作， 供应链网络中的多智能体决策模型。这些解决方案的不方便之处在于， 频繁的、小规模的、几乎没有提前期的货件查询的压力。效率通常可以 当截止日期较长并且使用集中设置时，会增加。我们注意到，共享车辆容量可以 允许托运人在其他常规托运人出现在交付区域时进行快速交付。然而，在这方面， 合作要求通常相互竞争的公司进行联合，即使是对 将快速采购视为区别于竞争对手的工具。文献指出，即使在 有利的环境和非常好的商业机会下，合作需要避免 机会主义行为和保持高度信任。这种需要表现为一种具有长期性的公司文化 幻象它还需要兼容的硬件，兼容的负载特性和良好的区域覆盖。的 该方案克服了信息共享的困难，避免了机会主义行为。 该项目将有助于减少温室气体（GHG）排放量，减少空 或者是在市区行驶的半空卡车。这将改善几个城市的生活质量。 货物合并/联营被认为是降低成本和增强协同作用的最佳做法之一 在卡车车队中。

The aim of this research program is to contribute to engineering and planning the LTL truck-sharing platform by combining information technology (IT) with urban data and operational research (OR) theory. Many schemes for reducing the impact of empty trucks have in common horizontal collaboration or multi-agent decision models in supply chain networks. The inconvenient of these solutions, among others, are the pressure for frequent, small and with little lead-time queries for shipments. Usually efficiency can be increased when deadlines are long and a centralized set-up is used. We note that sharing vehicle capacity can allow shippers to make fast deliveries when others regular shippers are present in the delivery zones. However, cooperation requires companies that normally compete against each other to associate, even for end-clients that see fast procurement as a differentiation tool from their competitors. The literature remarks that even in favorable environments and under very good business opportunities, collaboration requires to avoid the opportunistic behaviors and to keep high trust. This need is manifested as a company culture with long-term visions. It is also needed compatible hardware, compatible load characteristics and good zonal covering. The proposal overcomes the information share difficulties and avoids opportunist behavior. The project in question will help to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing the number of empty or half-empty trucks that transit in urban areas. This will improve the quality life in several cities. Consolidation of goods/pooling is considered among the best practices to reduce cost and increase the synergy among truck fleets.
