Autonomous cooperation is an evolving trend in transport domain of logistics network. Integration of technologies like multi-agent systems and communication network strategies aid in bringing about autonomy and increased flexibility to handle complexity and dynamics in the network. A cluster based DLRP1 approach is presented using the software agent based simluation framework. DLRP involves the route discovery process both by the packages as well as the vehicles simultaneously. The route discovery process by the vehicle and packages can result in enormous communication. A performance evaluation of this approach was presented in [3]. However, this paper presents an enhancement of the analytical formulation and the analytical results are then compared with the simulation results.
