Abstract
This paper proposes a multi-agent cooperative intermodal freight transport
planning approach for multiple intermodal freight transport operators (IFTOs)
in the control of container flows. The cooperation goal is to minimize the
overall freight delivery cost for serving certain transport demands. Based on a
distributed model predictive control methodology, a cooperative planning
approach is proposed by decomposing the augmented Lagrangian formulation of the
joint intermodal freight transport planning problem into subproblems that are
then cooperatively solved by the IFTOs through iterative exchange of planning
information. A simulation study on cooperative intermodal freight transport
planning illustrates the potential of the proposed cooperative planning
approach.
