Abstract

This paper provides a short description of the COMPASS-model which is a concept for the simulation of multiway systems. The focus of the COMPASS-model is to offer an opportunity to investigate the effects of redistribution strategies on logistic and monetary values in a system of returnable transport items (RTI). The modeling concept consists of five modules: topology, system load, distribution, redistribution, cost. It includes the integration of highly sophisticated evolutionary algorithms for the optimal solving of complex capacitated vehicle routing problems (CVRP) which are typical for RTI-systems. The results of first experiments with a COMPASS-based prototype are repeated. They reveal some basic regularities in RTI-systems.
