“…More specifically, the cost of fulfilling a request can be different for each collaborating carrier, so it is possible to establish a mutual routing plan to maximise the total profit for all carriers. CVRP should also consider some constraints, such as carrier capacity (Hernández and Savelsbergh 2007a, 2007b;Kuyzu 2017). Technically, CLCP aims to find a set of transport plans covering all lanes (from multi-shippers) such that the total cost to serve the lanes is minimised.…”

Horizontal collaboration has been considered as effective practice for sustainable logistics and freight transport and it has gained increased attention in recent years. This paper aims to provide a survey of the development of horizontal collaborative transport (HCT) over the past ten years, to identify research trends and gaps, then to propose some research opportunities. The paper also aims to provide guidelines to logistics companies who wish to embark on HCT, to help them choose which HCT solution to implement. To provide a comprehensive and structured review, the paper follows the methodology for Systematic Literature Review proposed in the literature. A total of 120 scientific papers published between 2007 and 2017 were reviewed. A survey framework based on two axes-HCT solutions and implementation issues-is developed to analyse and position the papers. The results show that, regarding HCT solutions, carrier alliance and flow controller collaboration were the most frequently studied. But recent innovative solutions such as pooling and physical internet are also gaining increased attention. Regarding implementation issues, the focus of the literature has been on the development of decisionmaking models, including transport planning, lane exchange, and gain sharing. Conversely, managerial and technological issues have received less attention.

“…The cost reduction may come from bundling, back-hauling, or round-trip (Creemers et al 2017). As discussed in Kuyzu (2017), the main difference between CVRP and CLCP is that the former focuses on tour optimisation, while the latter focuses more on lane exchange optimisation without considering vehicle tours.…”

“…In Kuyzu (2017) the LCP model is extended by a constraint on the number of partners with whom the collaborative tours must be coordinated. Column generation and Branch-and-price approaches are developed for the solution of the resulting LCP variant.…”

“…However, merging FTL lanes is mostly assumed to be done by shippers (e.g. Adenso-Díaz et al, 2014a;Ergun et al, 2007b;Kuyzu, 2017). Here again one might argue, that also carriers can be involved in this type of horizontal collaboration, as it is considered by, e.g., Liu et al (2010a).…”

In horizontal collaborations, carriers form coalitions in order to perform parts of their logistics operations jointly. By exchanging transportation requests among each other, they can operate more efficiently and in a more sustainable way. Collaborative vehicle routing has been extensively discussed in the literature. We identify three major streams of research: (i) centralized collaborative planning, (ii) decentralized planning without auctions, and (ii) auction-based decentralized planning. For each of them we give a structured overview on the state of knowledge and discuss future research directions.

“…If collaborative decisions are made by a central authority having full information, this is referred to as centralized collaborative planning (e.g.,, and ). If players are not willing to give full information to a central planner, decentralized mechanisms are needed.…”

The cost of incentive compatibility in auction‐based mechanisms for carrier collaboration

2018

Collaboration has been one of the important trends in vehicle routing. A typical mechanism to enable carrier collaboration is to use combinatorial auctions, where requests are not traded individually but are combined into bundles. Previous literature on carrier collaboration has focused on issues such as bundle formation or winner determination, typically assuming truthfulness of all agents and absence of any strategic behavior. This article considers the interdependencies and problems that arise from bidders acting as buyers and sellers of requests at the same time. From standard auction theory, desirable properties of exchange mechanisms are identified as efficiency, incentive compatibility, individual rationality, and budget balance. It is shown that these desirable properties cannot be fulfilled at the same time. In particular, the properties efficiency and incentive compatibility induce that budget balance is violated, that is, an outside subsidy is required. We propose two incentive compatible exchange mechanisms. One is more closely related to the classical VCG approach, while the other one uses a more complicated concept for computing payments to participants. A numerical study investigates how frequently desired properties are violated. We show that both mechanisms can be acceptable in practical situations, but none of them can satisfy all desired properties.
