Multi Agent Systems for Logistics in Rail Transport

The macro-logistic structural change of the goods traffic market induced by substitution, goods structure, logistics and integration effects leads to modified requirements on the structures and processes of goods traffic and to increasing losses of market shares of the rail freight transport. A reason for this is a lack of conformity of customer requirements and the services of rail transport. The contribution presents a new logistic concept for guided freight transport which increases flexibility by integrating organisation and operation processes. In combination with the application of small autonomous transport units, it serves for meeting the changing requirements of goods traffic.
