Methoden zum selbststeuernden Routing autonomer logistischer Objekte - Entwicklung und Evaluierung des Distributed Logistics Routing Protocol (DLRP)

Abstract

Due to the growing dynamics and complexity of logistic systems, common concepts of planning and control are being pushed to their limits. In addition to that, structural changes in technology are driving new functionality into logistic systems. These circumstances require changes of processes, planning and control in this field. The new concept of autonomous control applies an object-oriented point of view. The core is the self-contained decision and routing of logistic objects within changing environments. The presented work gives a framework protocol, based on algorithms from data communication, as a general concept for autonomous routing adaptive to many fields. This framework protocol was named Distributed Logistics Routing Protocol (DLRP). The DLRP is adapted to transport and to production logistics where it is being compared to common algorithms (for VRP, PDP and FFP). This shows a comparable performance and a high potential of the DLRP to improve logistic processes.
