Abstract
This paper describes an agent-based platform for the allocation of loads in distributed transportation logistics, developed as a collaboration between CWI, Dutch National Center for Mathematics and Computer Science, Amsterdam and Vos Logistics Organizing, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.The platform follows a real business scenario proposed by Vos, and it involves a set of agents bidding for transportation loads to
be distributed from a central depot in the Netherlands to different
locations across Germany. The platform supports both human agents (i.e. transportation planners), who can bid through specialized planning and bidding interfaces, as well as automated, software agents. Therefore, the proposed platform can be used to
test both the bidding behaviour of human logistics planners, as well as the performance of automated auction bidding strategies, developed for such settings.
