Abstract

This paper addresses the request selection and exchange problem in the carrier collaboration process with limited sharing of carrier’s request information. A framework including two decision makers, carrier and coordinator, is constructed and its collaboration process is described. In this framework, two request selection models for the carriers are established. In addition, a request exchange method for the coordinator is proposed and four profit allocation strategies are discussed. Compared with other four approaches, simulation results show that the proposed approach is effective and efficient.
