Abstract
This study investigates profit allocation in cooperative truck scheduling under trailer-swapping mode (TSM), an innovative approach aimed at reducing empty load rates, operational costs, and carbon emissions. Although TSM offers significant operational advantages, profit imbalances among carriers can create conflicts, jeopardizing system stability. To address these challenges, we propose a novel profit allocation mechanism grounded in cooperative game theory, ensuring both fairness and stability. By employing a precise row generation method, we calculate fair profit allocations while maintaining system equilibrium. A series of numerical experiments are conducted to validate the model’s performance and examine the impact of key parameters on the allocation outcomes. The results demonstrate that our approach provides an effective solution for managing complex cooperative transportation systems, offering valuable managerial insights into fair profit distribution and improving overall operational efficiency.
