In general, rental articles circulate in closed logistic systems, where the order parameters determine the material flow. As the planning horizon often comprises several subsequent orders at different locations, the corresponding transport and route planning is a complex task. Additionally, dynamic effects, such as thefts, damages, rush orders as well as new orders or order changes complicate the proceeding. This paper introduces the concept of an autonomously controlled route planning for rental articles that bases on the Distributed Logistics Routing Protocol (DLRP). At this, an example from the field of event logistics illustrates the concept.
