Globalization of manufacturing has caused an increase of locations with common markets and customers resulting in harder competition for each of the involved actors. Furthermore, each company has to operate in an increasingly dynamic market and sourcing situation which again lead to complex logistic networks. Some of the main problems affecting freight transportation on a global scale are logistic...
The paper introduces a new class of consensus protocols to reach the agreement in networks of agents with a discrete time dynamics. In order to guarantee the convergence of the proposed algorithms, some general results are proved in the framework of non negative matrix theory. In addition, numerous numerical experiments show that the proposed iterative schemes enjoy good rate of convergence even in...
The paper proposes new consensus protocols for the agreement problem in networks of agents with a discrete time model. A new class of consensus algorithms is introduced on the basis of the positive splitting of the standard iteration matrix. In the framework of non negative matrix theory, some results are proved to guarantee the convergence of the proposed algorithms. In addition, numerous numerical...
The paper specifies an Integrated System (IS) devoted to the management of Intermodal Transportation Networks (ITNs) to take both tactical decisions, i.e., in an offline mode, and operational decisions, i.e., in real-time. Both the resulting IS structures rely on a closed-loop approach that is able to tune the choices with the current system conditions. In either case, the core of the presented IS...
The paper specifies an Integrated System (IS) devoted to efficient management and control of Intermodal Transportation Networks (ITN). The IS is designed to take both tactical decisions, in an off-line mode, and operational decisions, in real time. Both the resulting IS structures rely on a closed loop approach tuning decisions with the current system conditions. In either case, the IS core is a reference...
