Abstract
In the vision of Physical Internet there is no central authority that regulates decision making and asset use, the decision making is decentralized to make logistics self-organizing. A theoretical downside of decentralization is reduction of system performance due to lack of system overview leading to sub-optimal decisions. This research shows that the system performance is not significantly reduced when making decentralized decisions in a trucking network on small problem instances. Furthermore, the theoretical advantages of decentralized control compared to centralized are evaluated with the practical implementation.
