Performance of self-organizing logistics: a practical comparison between centralized and decentralized logistics
conference paper
In the vision of Physical Internet there is no central authority that regulates decision making and asset use, the decision making is decentralized to make logistics self-organizing. A theoretical downside of decentralization is reduction of system performance due to lack of system overview leading to sub-optimal decisions. This research shows that the system performance is not significantly reduced when making decentralized decisions in a trucking network on small problem instances. Furthermore, the theoretical advantages of decentralized control compared to centralized are evaluated with the practical implementation.
