5 Logistics i Bee The feeal state of Bee is the seco lagest logistics locatio i Geay. This is ue to its avatageous aitie positio a goo hitela etwo. Establishe logistic-elate copaies ae base i Bee, lie fo exaple aeoautics a space techology, autoobile costuctio, foo aufactues, etc. The ipotace of the logistics iusty fo the state of Bee iplies the espective scietific focus. The Uivesity of Bee eets the ea fo logistics eseach by liig copeteces of iffeet scietific isciplies withi a iteiscipliay high-pofile aea. The Bee Reseach Cluste fo Dyaics i Logistics (shot: LogDyaics) was foue i 1995 as a coopeatig etwo of eseach goups oigiate fo fou faculties: Physics/Electical Egieeig, Matheatics/Copute Sciece, Pouctio Egieeig a Busiess Stuies/ Ecooics. Recetly the logistics focus has bee acowlege by cotibutig to the title Uivesity of Excellece awae by the Gea Reseach Fouatio (DFG). Besies the fou faculties, futhe pates withi LogDyaics ae: BIBA Bee Istitut fü Poutio u Logisti GbH, ISL The Istitute of Shippig Ecooics a Logistics (ISL), a the Jacobs Uivesity Bee ggbh. The activity fiels of LogDyaics age fo fuaetal a applie eseach to tasfeig fiigs ito pactice. The eseach cluste collaboates closely with etepises. The obective is to stegthe iteiscipliay eseach a evelopet i the copetece aea of logistics fo the beefit of the egio Bee as well as to foste iteatioal coopeatio. The Iteatioal Gauate School fo Dyaics i Logistics (IGS) is the stuctue octoal taiig pogae of LogDyaics. It offes outstaig eseaches fo all aou the wol the oppotuity to coplete a octoate at a logistics locatio of log staig taitio. The obective of the IGS is to foste excellece i eseach a eucatio by pusuig a iteiscipliay a coss-cultual appoach. Iteiscipliay Coopeatio Most of toay s logistic challeges caot be solve withi oe sigle scietific isciplie. Theefoe, eseach i LogDyaics is base o iteiscipliay coopeatio to geeate syegy effects. The eseach cluste coucts fuaetal a applie eseach, offes eucatio at the highest level a ogaises scietific cofeeces. At the sae tie the efeece to iustial pactice is oe of the ost ipotat aspects. LogDyaics aes special effots to featue oppotuities fo coopeatio betwee sciece a iusty. Futheoe, it pootes the iea of givig sall a ile-size etepises access to eseach a iovatio. The esultig ialogue of iusty a sciece cotibutes to a bette uestaig of iffeet pespectives a possible solutios i logistics. Doctoal Taiig The ai of the IGS is to ietify, to escibe, to oel a to evaluate the equie a feasible itisic yaics i logistics pocesses a etwos both o a opeatioal as well as o a stategic level. It coucts eseach o iovative yaic plaig a cotol by usig ew ecisio suppot algoiths a ethos, ew couicatio a coopeatio aageets as well as ew techologies. Special topics ae aaptive a yaic cotol ethos fo logistics as well as the sychoisatio of ateial a ifoatio flows. Agaist this bacgou, cossiscipliay coopeatio ue cosieatio of itecultual aspects is the basis fo eseach. The IGS eets the challege of globalisatio though pactice-oiete eseach withi the scope of fuaetal a applie eseach. The eseach is cete o fou topic aeas: Busiess oels, ecisio pocesses a ecooic aalyses of yaics i logistics Holistic iteiscipliay ethos fo oellig, aalysis a siulatio of yaics i logistics Sychoisatio of ateial, ifoatio, ecisio a fiacial flows Aaptive a yaic cotol ethos i logistics The cuiculu iclues iiviual octoate poects, iscipliay supevisio, scietific etoig as well as specific taiigs i the fiel of copleetay sills.

The Uivesity of Bee succeee i the atioal copetitio of the Excellece Iitiative with a outstaig futue cocept etitle Abitious a Agile: Istitutioal Stategy fo a poiet i-size uivesity. The IGS is the eucatioal pat of LogDyaics a cotibute paticulaly by its vey high egee of iteatioality a iteiscipliay of eseach a eucatio. I 2011 the iovative supevisio a etoig cocept fo octoal stuets has aleay bee awae by the Gea Natioal Acaey of Sciece a Egieeig (acatech), the 4ING faculty cofeeces, the TU9 cosotiu (uio of the leaig techical uivesities i Geay), a the Woig Goup of Techical Uivesities a Colleges (ARGE TU/TH). I a atioal copetitio the stuctue taiig pogae has bee chose as best pactice fo the iteatioalisatio of a egieeig octoal taiig pogae. The IGS extee its exteal fue scholaship base i two ways: The IGS succeee i the copetitio GSSP Gauate School Scholaship Pogae of the Gea Acaeic Exchage Sevice (DAAD). Thus, begiig i 2013, the IGS has bee offeig fou DAAD-scholaships to outstaig iteatioal octoal stuets. Sice July 2012 LogDyaics is pate i the EU poect clink Cete of Excellece fo Leaig, Iovatio, Netwoig a Kowlege. This poect facilitates the acaeic exchage betwee Euopea a Asia uivesities. Beyo the Uivesity of Bee the othe Euopea uivesities ae i Geat Bita Face, Roaia a Hugay. clink offes scholaships fo stuets a lectues o all levels of qualificatio. Poisig caiates will stay betwee oe oth a two yeas at the Euopea uivesity. The stuets will coe fo Baglaesh, Bhuta, Nepal, Paista, Chia, Iia, Malaysia a Thaila. By itegatig stuets fo Asia ito the acaeic taiig pogae, the IGS extes a itesifies its iteatioal fouatio though pesoal expeieces. I this way the alu the guest eseaches a the clink fellows ae abassaos of LogDyaics a the high quality of eucatio a eseach withi the IGS. To exte the supevisio capacities fo the octoal stuets of the IGS, LogDyaics establishe a ew positio of a uio pofessoship o Dyaics i Logistics. The octoal caiates will beefit fo the excellece iitiative sice two futhe pofessoships ae beig ipleete.

The seso output ata of the elate flow values ae stoe i a PC. Fo the two theopile sigals, we calculate the output voltage iffeece as a fuctio of flow. Fo ou applicatio, i.e. aiflow easueet i taspot cotaies, ai velocity value is of oe ipotace tha the flow value. Fo this easo, we cosie it as the basic paaete i this stuy. To stuy the flow i the setup, we istiguish betwee two situatios. the oe ha, flow isie the pipe which is chaacteize aily by Reyols ube: whee is the ai esity; is ai velocity; is the pipe iaete a is the yaic viscosity of ai.

Resouces ae equeste a ietifie by URIs usig the Repesetatioal State Tasfe (REST) [8] ethos GET, PUT, PST a DELETE, wheeas espose coes (e.g. 201 Ceate) iicate success o failue. I cotaictio to HTTP, CoAP exchages essages asychoously ove UDP. To povie a lightweight eliability echais, it aes use of a expoetial bac-off with the coo stop-a-wait etasissio schee. Futheoe, it ipleets etectio of uplicate essages by usig aoly geeate, uique essage ietifies. Cuetly, CoAP is available as a CoRE Woig Goup Iteet- Daft of the IETF i vesio 11 [7].

How the iiviual ucetaities ee to be accuulate epes o the etwo type [13]. The type of the supply etwo iectly effects the fial accuulatio of the ucetaity of the elivey tie. The way to calculate this accuulatio is ou iscussio i this pape. Moeove, we explai a algoith to calculate this accuulatio egaig the Mote Calo Metho (MCM). I the ext sectio, we will futhe iscuss this algoith. Aapte Mote Calo Metho The Mote Calo Metho (MCM) was coie i the 1940s by Joh vo Neua, Staislaw Ula a Nicholas Metopolis, while they wee woig o a uclea weapo poects (Mahatta Poect) i the Los Alaos Natioal Laboatoy. It was ae afte the Mote Calo Casio, a faous casio whee Ula s ucle ofte gable away his oey [14]. The Mote Calo Metho is i the coputatioal algoiths level, which epes o epeate ao saplig. The MCM is ofte applie i copute siulatios of physical, atheatical systes, iss assesset of busiess. Nowaays, eseaches have ecogize the MCM as a pactical alteative etho to aalyse the ucetaity of easueet i calibatio laboatoies i copaiso to (Guie to the Expessio of Ucetaity i Measueet) GUM. GUM is base o the atheatic ethos, a the accuacy of the GUM is highe tha that of the MCM, but it has soe liitatios. Soe avatages of the MCM to the GUM ae liste below: MCM is able to cosie oliea elatioship fuctios betwee the elivey ties of supplies i the supply etwo. MCM is appopiate, also whe the pobability esity fuctio of DT of each supplie is ot oal. MCM is siple fo aalysis i oe coplex etwos. MCM ca cosie usyetical PDFs. The scheatic pocess of the MCM to calculate the accuulatio of DTUs i supply etwos a the eseach pobles which the MCM is able to solve, ae illustate i the figue 3. I aapte MCM, thee ae fou ai steps to calculate the accuulatio of ucetaities, which ae as follows: Iputs sectio: I this pat, we ee to ietify the pobability esity fuctio of elivey tie of each supplie sepaately, accoig to the type of etwo; the atheatical elatioship fuctio betwee supplies ust be eteie. Pobability esity fuctios (PDFs), will be estiate by the saplig of the past elivey ties, a atheatical elatioship fuctios eostate how the supplies elate with each othe to obtai the pouct. The cofiece coefficiet (p) is the ext iput of the MCM a itouces the pecetage of cofiece which a aage has to elive the oe i the specifie tiefae. As we etioe befoe, the MCM is a algoith, which epes o epeate ao saplig, the ube of MCM tials () ust be eteie i the fial pat of sectio oe. Pocess sectio: I this sectio, MCM algoith accoig to the ube of Mote Calo tials (), a PDFs of each supplie s elivey ties, will geeate vecto of elivey tie fo each supplie sepaately. Now we have vecto (if supplies ae i ou supply etwo), a each vecto has ebe. The MCM will geeate value as a esult of atheatical elatioship fuctios by puttig the geeate elivey tie o this fuctio. Fist output: Afte geeatig value fo the fial elivey tie by usig two softwae lie EXCEL 2007 a EASYFIT 5.5, we will fi the iaga a atheatical fuctio of the PDF of the accuulate of elivey tie ucetaity. Fial esults: Accoig to the pobability esity fuctio of elivey tie, the cobie ucetaity which is tasitte by supplies to the EM is calculate a show. By cosieig the cofiece coefficiet (p), a fial elivey tie (which is estiate i this sectio), a coveage istace fo elivey tie is show. This tiefae pesets the iteval fo elivey tie of the oe, which tae place o it with the specifie cofiece.

Suppotig this view, C.D. Higgis a M.R. Feguso poit out the two iffeet ways of thiig about FV fuctioality: fist is the taspotatio ifastuctue a seco is the poote of busiess a ecooy activity. Theefoe, FV is expecte to becoe a pivotal eleet cotibutig to the thee iesios of sustaiability i Chia. Ecooic iesio FVs ae ofte poite to as a eas fo pootig iteoality, itegatig spatial plaig, a eucig the cost of sevices by facilitatig syegies aog teats. Thus, logistics opeative costs ca be euce by thei ost ipotat featues - the cobiatio of vaious oes of taspot a logistics sevices. To ate, ay FVs have ae a ube of value-ae sevices, icluig total logistics aageet, ivetoy cotol a tacig, pacagig, labellig a ba coig, pocueet a veo aageet, a custoe sevice fuctios, such as etus, epa ewo a assotet pootioal assebly [4].

Most ipotatly, FVs iteact with the existig public facilities, which pobably cosoliate egioal o atioal logistics etwos. Esue the feasibility of FV poects at the plaig stage Accoig to the 3 Natioal FVs Suvey epot i 2012, the poble of iaequate plaig is still geatly hieig the evelopet of FVs i Chia.

Be Scholz-Reite Cotiuous gowth i cotaie taffic has lai a heavy bue o the liite capacity of teial esouces which iceases elays of tuc eliveies which tasfe cotaies to ayage copaies. Howeve, teial opeatios epe o ayage opeatios espoig to uexpecte tuc aivals. This pape aesses a questio of how copaies cooiate these oit activities. Fo the collaboative tasfe opeatio, I suggest the postpoeet stategy. I this stategy, each copay evelops a pla with categoize ifoatio o cotaies i avace a postpoes ecisios o the tasfe of specific cotaies util a tuc aives at a teial. This appoach will alleviate woloas of teial esouces as well as ecease waitig tie of tucs. Itouctio >>> A cotaie logistics syste ca be efie as the taspotatio of cotaies fo its oigi to its estiatio by vaious caies such as shippig lies, ayage copaies a a cotaie teial. Fo exaple, a ayage copay taspots cotaies betwee a teial a custoes places by tucs. A cotaie teial tepoaily stoes cotaies to loa the oto ayage tucs o cotaie ships. The tasfe opeatios betwee the playes ae ivie ito two opeatios as show i Figue 1. I the eceivig opeatio, a tuc taspots a outbou cotaie afte loaig it i a custoe s place. Afte aivig at a teial, the tuc has to pass a gate, a the a ya cae pics up the cotaie fo the tuc a elease it o a bloc at a ya. I cotast, i the elivey opeatio, a ya cae etieves a ibou cotaie fo a bloc at a ya a ops it off oto a tuc. The, the tuc elives the cotaie to its estiatio. I aitio, these opeatios ofte occu siultaeously to euce epty tavels of tucs. Nowaays, these caies ae usig ifoatio couicatio techologies (ICTs) (i.e. aio fequecy ietificatio, global positioig syste, etc) i logistic opeatios to ipove efficiecy of thei ow systes. Cosequetly, copaies ca icease pouctivity a utilizatio of thei esouces, as well as euce elivey tie to coplete oes. Howeve, i spite of avace techologies, iefficiet tasfe opeatios betwee caies still exist i the cotaie logistics syste. Especially, costat gowth i the volue of cotaies has staie the capacity of iteoal opeatios though a cotaie teial. Moeove, it causes sigificat elays of ayage tucs waitig at a cotaie teial, which aises tuc eissios i pot eighbouhoos a iceases the total opeatio tie of tucs. This is because liite capabilities of teial esouces have to hale a heavy aout of wo o the pic-up a op-off tasactios with tucs. Fo istace, if a lage ube of ayage tucs ushes to a cotaie teial with liite esouces i a shot tie, cogestio of tucs ust seveely occu. May tucs have to wait at a gate fo ivig ito a teial, a the wait fo a ya cae s oe agai to eceive o elive cotaies at a ya. These tasfe activities caot be ipove by theselves, thus it is ot avoiable to sychoize ayage opeatios a teial opeatios. Theefoe, this eseach poposes a collaboative tasfe opeatioal appoach a ethoologies to ehace iteoal opeatios betwee ayage copaies a a cotaie teial. <<< Figue 1: A flow of tasfe opeatio betwee ayage a teial opeatios Cotaie Teial Ya with gaty cae Gate Delivey opeatio Receivig opeatio Custoes places Pouctio Egieeig Plaig a Cotol of Pouctio Systes 63

66 Poble stateet It is essetial to ietify the causes of tuc cogestio a iefficiet teial opeatios. Fist of all, the tasfe opeatios ae oit activities betwee iteelate playes, but ayage opeatios ae actually pushig teial opeatios. I othe wos, sice ayage tucs ae allowe to elive cotaies at ay tie of teial opeatig hous, a teial opeato cotols teial esouces espoig to uexpecte aival of ayage tucs. Actually, accoig to taspotatio eas of ayage copaies, a cotaie teial supplies its esouces whee shotage o suplus of supply capability ca occu. Fo exaple, whe ay tucs ea ueous tasfe opeatios, a teial caot povie eough supply capacities fo all the tucs, which ievitably leas to waitig of tucs. the othe ha, if a sall ube of tucs aive, a teial eais suplus capability of esouces to hale tucs. Futheoe, opeatios i a ya ee oe tie tha those i a gate. This is because a ya cae spes cosieable tie to etieve o eceive cotaies o a bloc. Aitioally, a teial opeato has little owlege of the aival of ayage tucs to pic-up o op-off specific cotaies befoe tucs aive. Accoig to the aival of a tuc, a ya cae coul be oveloae o ile. Fo exaple, i Figue 2, the ya cae o Bloc 2 shoul hale thee tucs, but the othe oe o Bloc 1 woul be ile afte fiishig oe tas. Thus, the iffeece of woloas betwee blocs ievitably causes waitig of tucs.

Cosequetly, i the case of cotaie logistics aea, the sychoizatio of the ifoatio offes eseach challeges elate to ipove the collaboatio of opeatios betwee iepeet playes [2]. May papes about the optiizatio fo the ayage poble have focuse o the static case. A tuc scheulig poble fo the taspotatio of cotaies has bee aesse as the ultiple tavellig salesa poble with tie wiow (-TSPTW) as well as types of cotaies (i.e. ibou full, outbou full, ibou epty a outbou epty oveets) [15], [16].

I this cocept, pacages a vehicles as autooous obects have itelliget capabilities to get thei ifoatio a ae thei ow ecisios though a chagig a lage etwo without a cetal pespective. Futheoe, coopeatio betwee feight caies has bee hale to ipove thei opeatios by cobiatoial auctios of taspotatio equests [1], [12].

Fist of all, a tuc ispatche evelops a categoize tuc scheule puttig off the ecisio o a specific cotaie util a tuc oves ito a teial. Next, uig tasfe opeatios, a teial opeato ecies which ibou cotaie to etieve oto a tuc o whee a outbou cotaie is stace. Fo the popose ecisio-aig stuctue, playes shoul be able to exchage ifoatio a egotiate ecisios espoig to yaic ifoatio. Thus, this eseach will apply a istibute ecisio-aig faewo. The istibute faewo ees less ata exchage a is able to eact quicly copae to the cetalize faewo. Cotaie taspotatio oes usually coe fo ay cosigos who pay the elivey cost to a ayage copay. If a lot of cosigos paticipate i the categoize taspotatio, the the ube of cotaies iclue i the sae categoy coul icease, which coul lea to axiize effects of the popose appoach. Theefoe, this wo fistly suggests a tuc scheulig ethoology fo the case of a iiviual copay, the extes it fo the case of ultiple copaies. It shoul be equie to have a easoable coputatio tie fo the pactical pespective. Cosequetly, this poect will apply heuistic appoaches, i paticula etaheuistics (e.g., geetic algoith), as well as Lagagia elaxatio such as a ecouplig etho [4].
