Dynamic planning of cargo transportation for uncertain environments
Authors: Yukihisa Fujita
Abstract
Logistics is one of the mission-critical issues for the oil & gas business. Support logistics, which deals with supplying cargoes from ports to destinations, has a major economic impact on business, and transportation plays an important role in it. One of the important issues in support logistics in the oil & gas area is to mitigate the impact of uncertain factors such as bad weather. In this study, we describe a method of planning transportation for dynamic cargo to mitigate the impact. Our method uses an agent-based trade mechanism and changes the current plan whenever the situation changes. The evaluation results show that our method can make plans faster and more efficiently than weight-based simple planning. Additionally, we clarified that it can be applied to large-scale environments.
