Max Gath presents a multiagent system for the optimization of transport logistics in highly
complex and dynamic domains. The described solution dynamically optimizes processes and
provides a high flexibility scalability robustness and adaptability to individual customer
demands. The experimental evaluation points out the effectiveness and efficiency by using the
example of commonly applied benchmarks as well as two case studies in groupage traffic and in
courier express and parcel services with same-day deliveries. Both case studies were
performed with leading transport companies in Germany. The results demonstrate that the
multiagent-based solution satisfies domain-specific requirements and exploits high optimization
potential in real-world processes.
