Pearl C. C. Shum, Vincent Ng · 2011
This paper discusses how to reduce the cost of transportation of shipper and increases the utilization of the truck loading of the truck company by using the collaborative multi-agent system. We have designed an Intelligent Agent Cargo Booking Framework (IACBF) to facilitate the shipper grouping, partnership recognition and cost allocation with a multi-agent system solution. A prototype has been developed to illustrate the operations of our framework.
