A Platform-based Optimization Model Of Logistics Distribution For Shared Empty Freight Vehicles And Its Application

With the development of e-commerce,more and more trucks have been put into the logistics and distribution.The cost of empty return of trucks after completing their own delivery tasks has become a problem that cannot be ignored in logistics and distribution.In the United States,the no-load cost of logistics and distribution accounts for about 18%of the total cost of logistics and distribution.These empty trucks represent the unused transport capacity,and sharing empty trucks with shippers with social transport needs is an important opportunity to improve the efficiency of logistics and distribution.Shared empty trucks have not been a regular means of transportation due to the lack of effective methods to coordinate the schedule of empty truck drivers and cargo owners.In recent years,the development of global positioning systems and mobile applications has provided new opportunities for sharing empty trucks.Along with these technological developments,there have been many unloaded truck sharing platforms that can match the empty truck drivers who use the platform to provide transportation services and the cargo owners who have transportation needs.For example,China's cargo pullers and trucks help.When the empty truck sharing platform emerged,how to properly match the shared empty truck driver and cargo owner together became the biggest challenge faced by each shared empty truck platform.The cost savings after matching is the potential economic incentive for the empty truck driver and the cargo owner to share the empty truck.At the same time,reasonable matching can potentially reduce traffic congestion,fuel consumption and pollution emissions.From the literature,there is still a lack of research on the platform-based shared empty truck logistics and distribution.Therefore,the platform-based shared empty truck logistics distribution matching optimization problem is a research topic worthy of attention and of practical significance.In view of this,this paper has carried out related research,and the main work completed includes the following three aspects.Firstly,this study refines the problem of logistics and distribution of shared empty trucks.In view of the shortcomings of the existing research,this study introduces the platform-based shared empty-carry truck logistics distribution method under the premise of considering the shared empty-car truck logistics distribution,and extracts the platform-based shared empty-carry truck logistics distribution match optimization issues.more realistically.Secondly,An 'one-to-one' matching optimization model for platform-based shared empty truck logistics distribution is proposed in this study.Aiming at the problems of this paper,combined with the characteristics of platform-based logistics and distribution of empty trucks,a platform-based 'one-to-one' matching optimization model for shared empty-car freight distribution is constructed,and Lingo16.0 is used to solve the 'one-to-one' matching optimization model,and the optimal logistics distribution scheme was obtained.Thirdly,An 'one-to-many' matching optimization model for platform-based shared empty truck logistics distribution is proposed in this study.Aiming at the problems of this paper,combined with the characteristics of platform-based logistics and distribution of empty trucks,a platform-based 'one-to-one' matching optimization model for shared empty-car freight distribution is constructed,and Lingo 16.0 is used to solve the 'one-to-many' matching optimization model,and the optimal logistics distribution scheme was obtained.Fourthly,theapplied research.Aiming at the logistics distribution of empty trucks in A city,this paper applies the platform-based shared empty truck logistics distribution matching optimization.Firstly,through the analysis of the status quo of the logistics and distribution of empty trucks in A city,the necessity of A to adopt the shared empty truck logistics distribution mode is obtained.Then,by combining the platform-based shared empty truck logistics distribution matching optimization model proposed in this paper with the reality of A city,and,a platform-based A-city shared empty-load truck logistics distribution scheme is obtained.Based on the platform-based shared empty-car freight distribution matching optimization model,the optimal scheme of platform-based shared empty-load truck logistics distribution can be obtained.In addition,the research of this paper enriches the platform-based shared empty truck logistics distribution matching optimization.The research content of the problem can provide an intentional reference for further research work.
