Abstract
Freight distribution system carries packages by transportation, i.e. track, train and airplane. The freight distribution system must carry the packages before deadline, and maximize the number of the packages carried before deadline even if there are packages behind the deadline. In the present freight distribution system, a transport path of the package is fixed, and the adaptability for failure and traffic fluctuation is low. We propose a method that makes the package an agent by giving it intelligent function. In this system, the package itself chooses the route, and the competition on the transportation is dispelled by the negotiation between packages. In this paper, we evaluate the method.
