Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a control method of a transport device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the control method of the transport device may specifically include the following steps:
step 101: a first container for containing transporter information, a second container for containing cargo information to be dispensed, and a third container for containing detent information are obtained.
In step 101, the first container is used to accommodate information of a transportation device, where the transportation device may be a delivery vehicle or a logistics robot, and the information of the transportation device includes at least: the number of the transportation device, the capacity parameter, the corresponding distributor and other information. The capacity parameter is used for indicating the loading capacity of the dispatcher corresponding to the transportation device. The second container is used for containing information of goods to be distributed, and the information of the goods to be distributed at least comprises: information such as the number of goods, the delivery destination, and the like. The information of the goods to be distributed in the second container takes groups as units, and the quantity of the goods in each group of the information of the goods is at least one. The third container is used for containing clamping information, the clamping function is a structure which is convenient for the transportation device to load cargoes, and the clamping is generally arranged at a platform of the distribution center. The clamping information at least comprises: the card number and the earliest idle time of the card. The first container, the second container, and the third container may be a collection or a list, or the like. Wherein the first container, the second container and the third container are preferably a list.
Step 102: and when the cargo information of the unloaded cargo exists in the second container, taking the cargo information of the second container as target cargo information.
Before step 102, it may be determined whether cargo information of unloaded cargo exists in the second container; if yes, go to step 102; otherwise, the flow is ended.
In step 102, when there are multiple sets of cargo information of unloaded cargo in the second container, the cargo information in the second container may be ordered according to the cargo quantity of each set of cargo information, and each set of cargo information is sequentially used as target cargo information according to the obtained order, so as to determine a transport device and a clamping position for loading the cargo corresponding to the target cargo information. For example: the cargo information in the second container may be ordered from more to less according to the number of cargos, and each group of cargo information may be sequentially used as the target cargo information from more to less according to the number of cargos.
Step 103: and determining a target transportation device according to the target cargo information.
In step 103, a target transportation device may be determined according to a preset correspondence between the first container in-transit transportation device and the cargo information in the second container and the target cargo information. It is understood that the target transportation means refers to a transportation means for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information.
In order to make the loading efficiency of the target cargo information higher, a correspondence relationship between the transportation means in the first container and the cargo information of the second container may be predefined before step 103. When defining the corresponding relation between the transportation devices and the cargo information, each transportation device in the first container may be ordered according to the capability parameter; then sorting each group of goods information in the second container according to the quantity of the goods; and finally, distributing the cargo information of the second container to the cargo devices of the first container one by one according to the sequence of the cargo devices of the first container and the sequence of the cargo information of the second container, distributing the cargo with the largest cargo quantity in the second container to the cargo device with the largest capacity parameter in the first container, and forming the corresponding relation between the cargo information in the first container and the cargo information in the second container.
The capacity parameter is used to indicate the loading capacity of the dispatcher corresponding to the transportation device. To facilitate description of the capacity parameter, a description of the number of loads per unit time of the dispenser may be used (which may be understood simply as the number of shipping devices being provided). Since the dispatcher of each transporter is stationary, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the transporter and the dispatcher, such that the capability parameter can be identified as an attribute of the transporter. And the higher the capacity parameter of the transporter, the more the loader of the transporter.
Step 104: according to the preset sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container, the clamping position which is the earliest idle in the third container is used as a target clamping position, the target clamping position is distributed to the target transportation device, and the target transportation device is controlled to be dispatched to the target clamping position in the earliest idle time, so that the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information is completed.
In step 104, the earliest idle time of the bit is used to indicate the time corresponding to the adjustment of the bit from the use state to the idle state. When each clamping position in the third container is distributed for the first time, the earliest idle time of each clamping position is the time for the transportation device to reach the clamping position. When each of the plurality of bits in the third container is allocated again, the earliest idle time of each of the plurality of bits may be understood as the time when the loading of the transport device is completed during the last allocation, and the time when the loading of the transport device is completed during the last allocation is the sum of the time when the last arrival of the plurality of bits is achieved and the time required for loading the cargo. Because each clamping position is in an idle state during primary allocation, namely the time for completing loading by the transport device when the last allocation is performed is 0, the time for reaching the clamping position of the transport device is the earliest idle time of each clamping position. In order to facilitate allocation of bits to the transporter, the ordering of the earliest idle time for each bit in the third container needs to be predefined prior to step 104.
After step 104, after the target transportation device completes the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information, determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device; and controlling the target transportation device to run according to the corresponding target delivery path so as to deliver the corresponding goods of the target goods information loaded by the target transportation device to the corresponding destination.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, in determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device, an origin of the target transportation device and a delivery destination of each group of goods on the target transportation device may be first determined; and then determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device by using an operation optimization algorithm according to the origin of the target transportation device and the delivery destination of each group of goods on the target transportation device. Meanwhile, the receiving time of each delivery node in the target delivery path can be determined; for example: the time to reach each delivery node can be estimated based on the travel time between the two delivery nodes, the time each delivery node needs to stay (service time), and the departure time. And then, according to the receiving time of each delivery node in the target delivery path, sending the receiving time to a receiving terminal corresponding to each delivery node, thereby avoiding the condition that the delivery staff confirms the receiving time of the clients one by one.
In addition, after step 104, the earliest idle time of the target card may be determined and the ordering of the earliest idle time of each card in the third container may be updated based on the earliest idle time of the target card. The earliest idle time of the target location may be understood as the sum of the time the target transport device arrives at the target location and the time required to load the corresponding cargo of the target cargo information.
When determining the sum of the time required for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information, firstly determining the quantity of the goods of the target goods information and the capacity parameter of the target transportation device; the capacity parameter is used for representing the loading capacity of the transport device corresponding to the target transport device; and then determining the time required by the target transportation device for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information according to the goods quantity of the target goods information and the capacity parameter of the target transportation device. Since the time required for loading the cargo information is different for different dispatchers and the dispatchers are in one-to-one correspondence with the transportation devices, the loading capacity of the dispatchers can be described by the capacity parameter. Determining the time required for the target transportation device to load the corresponding goods of the target goods information based on the number of goods to be loaded and the capacity parameters of the transportation device can enable the accuracy to be higher.
In general, the longer the load is required for a larger number of loads to be loaded, the general trend can be described as: as the number of goods increases when the number of goods is small, the loading time steadily increases; but as the number of goods increases when the number of goods is large, the time required for loading increases rapidly. It is therefore not suitable to describe the relationship between the number of goods of the target goods information and the required time for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information with a simple linear relationship, and for this purpose the following model is proposed to describe the relationship between the number of goods of the target goods information and the required time for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information:
wherein t represents the time required for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information; x represents the cargo quantity of the target cargo information; x is x 0 Inflection point, x, representing the number of loads 0 Is an empirical value; x is x max An upper limit representing the amount of cargo loaded; a, a 1 ,a 2 ,a 3 ,a 4 Are all constant.
In the case where the number of cargos of the target cargo information is the same, as the capacity parameter increases, the required time for loading the target cargo information corresponding to the cargos smoothly decreases and tends to a stable value, and thus the relationship between the capacity parameter of the transportation device and the required time for loading the target cargo information corresponding to the cargos is described using the following formula:
Wherein y represents a capacity parameter of the transportation device or referred to as the number of loading, a 5 ,a 6 ,a 7 Are all constant.
In summary, equation 3) can be obtained according to equation 1) and equation 2), and equation 3) is a model that comprehensively considers the cargo quantity of the target cargo information and the capacity parameter of the transportation device. The time required for the target transportation device to load the corresponding cargo of the target cargo information may be determined based on the following formula 3):
it will be appreciated that the ordering of the earliest idle time of each clip in the third container is formed based on the number of items of the target item information and the capacity parameters of the transporter.
The control method of the transport device according to the embodiment of the invention is based on greedy idea, according to the preset sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container, the clamping position which is the earliest idle in the third container is used as a target clamping position, the target clamping position is distributed to the target transport device, and the target transport device is controlled to be dispatched to the target clamping position in the earliest idle time so as to complete the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information. The method can improve the estimated accuracy of the time required for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information, has low calculation complexity and can rapidly calculate the scheduling result of the transportation device.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a control method of a transportation device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the control method of the transportation device may specifically include the following steps:
step 201: a first container for containing transporter information, a second container for containing cargo information to be dispensed, and a third container for containing detent information are obtained.
In step 201, the first container is used to hold information of a transportation device, where the transportation device may be a delivery vehicle or a logistics robot, and the information of the transportation device includes at least: the number of the transportation device, the capacity parameter, the corresponding distributor and other information. The capacity parameter is used for indicating the loading capacity of the dispatcher corresponding to the transportation device. The second container is used for containing information of goods to be distributed, and the information of the goods to be distributed at least comprises: information such as the number of goods, the delivery destination, and the like. The information of the goods to be distributed in the second container takes groups as units, and the quantity of the goods in each group of the information of the goods is at least one. The third container is used for containing clamping information, the clamping function is a structure which is convenient for the transportation device to load cargoes, and the clamping is generally arranged at the dock. The clamping information at least comprises: the card number and the earliest idle time of the card. The first container, the second container, and the third container may be a collection or a list, or the like. Wherein the first container, the second container and the third container are preferably a list.
Step 202: judging whether cargo information of unloaded cargoes exists in the second container; if yes, go to step 203; otherwise, the flow is ended.
Step 203: and when the cargo information of the unloaded cargo exists in the second container, taking the cargo information of the second container as target cargo information.
In step 203, when there are multiple sets of cargo information of unloaded cargo in the second container, the cargo information in the second container may be ordered according to the cargo quantity of each set of cargo information, and each set of cargo information is sequentially used as target cargo information according to the obtained order, so as to determine a transport device and a clamping position for loading the cargo corresponding to the target cargo information. For example: the cargo information in the second container may be ordered from more to less according to the number of cargos, and each group of cargo information may be sequentially used as the target cargo information from more to less according to the number of cargos.
Step 204: and determining a target transportation device according to the preset corresponding relation between the first container in-transit transportation device and the cargo information in the second container and the target cargo information.
In order to make the loading efficiency of the target cargo information higher, a correspondence relationship between the transportation means in the first container and the cargo information of the second container may be predefined before step 204. When defining the corresponding relation between the transportation devices and the cargo information, each transportation device in the first container may be ordered according to the capability parameter; then sorting each group of goods information in the second container according to the quantity of the goods; according to the ordering of the transport devices in the first container and the ordering of the cargo information in the second container, the cargo information of the second container is allocated to the transport devices of the first container one by one, the cargo information with the largest cargo quantity in the second container is allocated to the transport device with the largest capacity parameter in the first container, and the corresponding relation between the transport devices in transport of the first container and the cargo information in the second container is formed.
The capacity parameter is used to indicate the loading capacity of the dispatcher corresponding to the transportation device. To facilitate description of the capacity parameter, a description of the number of shippers' loads may be used (which may be understood simply as having several transporter units installed). Since the dispatcher of each transporter is stationary, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the transporter and the dispatcher, such that the capability parameter can be identified as an attribute of the transporter. And the higher the capacity parameter of the transporter, the more the loader of the transporter.
Step 205: sequentially taking the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container as a target clamping position according to the preset sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container, distributing the target clamping position to the target transportation device, and controlling the target transportation device to dispatch the earliest idle time to the target clamping position so as to finish the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information.
In step 205, the earliest idle time of the bit is used to indicate the time corresponding to the adjustment of the bit from the use state to the idle state. When each clamping position in the third container is distributed for the first time, the earliest idle time of each clamping position is the time for the transportation device to reach the clamping position. When each of the bits in the third container is again allocated, the earliest idle time of each of the bits can be understood as the time when the loading of the transport means was completed at the last allocation. In order to facilitate allocation of bits to the transporter, the ordering of the earliest idle time for each bit in the third container needs to be predefined prior to step 205.
After step 205, after the target transportation device completes the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information, determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device; and controlling the target transportation device to run according to the corresponding target delivery path so as to deliver the corresponding goods of the target goods information loaded by the target transportation device to the corresponding destination.
In determining a target delivery path for the target transporter, an origin of the target transporter and a delivery destination for each set of cargo information on the target transporter may be first determined; and then determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device by using an operation optimization algorithm according to the origin of the target transportation device and the delivery destination of each group of goods information on the target transportation device, as shown in fig. 4 to 6.
Step 206: and determining the time required by the target transportation device for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information.
In step 206, determining the cargo quantity of the target cargo information and the capability parameter of the target transportation device; wherein the capacity parameter is used to represent the loading capacity of the target transport device; and determining the time required by the target transportation device for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information according to the goods quantity of the target goods information and the capacity parameter of the target transportation device. Since the time required for loading the cargo information is different for different dispatchers and the dispatchers are in one-to-one correspondence with the transportation devices, the loading capacity of the dispatchers can be described by the capacity parameter. Determining the time required for the target transportation device to load the corresponding goods of the target goods information based on the number of goods to be loaded and the capacity parameters of the transportation device can enable the accuracy to be higher.
In general, the longer the load is required for a larger number of loads to be loaded, the general trend can be described as: as the number of goods increases when the number of goods is small, the loading time steadily increases; but as the number of goods increases when the number of goods is large, the time required for loading increases rapidly. It is therefore not suitable to describe the relationship between the number of goods of the target goods information and the required time for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information with a simple linear relationship, and for this purpose the following model is proposed to describe the relationship between the number of goods of the target goods information and the required time for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information:
wherein t represents the time required for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information; x represents the cargo quantity of the target cargo information; x is x 0 Inflection point, x, representing the number of loads 0 Is an empirical value; x is x max An upper limit representing the amount of cargo loaded; a, a 1 ,a 2 ,a 3 ,a 4 Are all constant.
In the case where the number of cargos of the target cargo information is the same, as the capacity parameter increases, the required time for loading the target cargo information corresponding to the cargos smoothly decreases and tends to a stable value, and thus the relationship between the capacity parameter of the transportation device and the required time for loading the target cargo information corresponding to the cargos is described using the following formula:
Wherein y represents a capacity parameter of the transportation device or referred to as the number of loading, a 5 ,a 6 ,a 7 Are all constant.
In summary, equation 3) can be obtained according to equation 1) and equation 2), and equation 3) is a model that comprehensively considers the cargo quantity of the target cargo information and the capacity parameter of the transportation device. It will be appreciated that the model considers two influencing factors: loading task amount and operation proficiency of a dispatcher; the method comprises the steps of converting the loading task quantity into the quantity of cargoes to be loaded, and converting the operation proficiency of a dispatcher into capability parameter description, namely the historical loading times of a loader. The model can improve the estimated accuracy of the time required for loading the cargo information.
Further, the time required for the target transportation device to load the target cargo information corresponding to the cargo may be determined based on the following formula 3):
step 207: and determining the earliest idle time of the next time of the target clamping position according to the sum of the time required by the target transport device for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information.
In step 207, the earliest idle time of the next time of the target card may be understood as the time when the target transport device completes the loading task of the goods corresponding to the target goods information or the earliest idle time corresponding to the next time of the target card. It is understood that the earliest idle time of the next time of the target location may be the sum of the time the target transport device arrives at the target location and the time required to load the corresponding cargo of the target cargo information.
Step 208: and updating the sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container and the grouping number of the cargo information of the unloaded cargoes in the second container according to the earliest idle time of the next time of the target clamping position. After step 208, step 202 continues until the cargo in the second container is completely loaded.
The control method of the transport device according to the embodiment of the invention is based on greedy idea, according to the preset sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container, the clamping position which is the earliest idle in the third container is used as a target clamping position, the target clamping position is distributed to the target transport device, and the target transport device is controlled to be dispatched to the target clamping position in the earliest idle time so as to complete the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information. The method can improve the estimated accuracy of the time required for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information, has low calculation complexity and can rapidly calculate the scheduling result of the transportation device.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a control method of a transportation device according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the control method of the transportation device may specifically include the following steps:
step 301: a first container for containing transporter information, a second container for containing cargo information to be dispensed, and a third container for containing detent information are obtained.
In step 301, the first container is used to hold information of a transportation device, where the transportation device may be a delivery vehicle or a logistics robot, and the information of the transportation device includes at least: the number of the transportation device, the capacity parameter, the corresponding distributor and other information. The capacity parameter is used for indicating the loading capacity of the dispatcher corresponding to the transportation device. The second container is used for containing information of goods to be distributed, and the information of the goods to be distributed at least comprises: information such as the number of goods, the delivery destination, and the like. The information of the goods to be distributed in the second container takes groups as units, and the quantity of the goods in each group of the information of the goods is at least one. The third container is used for containing clamping information, the clamping function is a structure which is convenient for the transportation device to load cargoes, and the clamping is generally arranged at the dock. The clamping information at least comprises: the card number and the earliest idle time of the card. The first container, the second container, and the third container may be a collection or a list, or the like. Wherein the first container, the second container and the third container are preferably a list.
Step 302: each transporter in the first container is ordered by capability parameter.
The capacity parameter is used to indicate the loading capacity of the dispatcher corresponding to the transportation device. To facilitate description of the capacity parameter, a description of the number of shippers' loads may be used (which may be understood simply as having several transporter units installed). Since the dispatcher of each transporter is stationary, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the transporter and the dispatcher, such that the capability parameter can be identified as an attribute of the transporter. And the higher the capacity parameter of the transporter, the more the loader of the transporter.
Step 303: and ordering each group of goods information in the second container according to the quantity of the goods.
It should be noted that, the execution sequence of the step 303 and the step 302 may be interchanged, and the execution sequence of the step 303 and the step 302 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 304: according to the ordering of the transport devices in the first container and the ordering of the cargo information in the second container, the cargo information of the second container is allocated to the transport devices of the first container one by one, the cargo information with the largest cargo quantity in the second container is allocated to the transport device with the largest capacity parameter in the first container, and the corresponding relation between the cargo information and the transport device is formed.
Step 305: and sequencing the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container.
It should be noted that, step 305 needs to precede step 309, and it is understood that step 305 may be performed before step 302 or after step 304, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the execution sequence of step 305.
Step 306: and judging whether cargo information of unloaded cargoes exists in the second container. If yes, go to step 307; otherwise, the flow is ended.
Step 307: and when the cargo information of the unloaded cargo exists in the second container, taking the cargo information of the second container as target cargo information.
In step 307, when there are multiple sets of cargo information of unloaded cargo in the second container, the cargo information in the second container may be ordered according to the cargo quantity of each set of cargo information, and each set of cargo information is sequentially used as target cargo information according to the obtained order, so as to determine a transport device and a clamping position for loading the cargo corresponding to the target cargo information. For example: the cargo information in the second container may be ordered from more to less according to the number of cargos, and each group of cargo information may be sequentially used as the target cargo information from more to less according to the number of cargos.
Step 308: determining a target transportation device according to the preset corresponding relation between the first container in-transit transportation device and the cargo information in the second container and the target cargo information;
step 309: according to the preset sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container, the clamping position which is the earliest idle in the third container is used as a target clamping position, the target clamping position is distributed to the target transportation device, and the target transportation device is controlled to be dispatched to the target clamping position in the earliest idle time, so that the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information is completed.
After step 309, the method further comprises: after the target transportation device completes the loading process of the goods corresponding to the target goods information, determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device; and controlling the target transportation device to run according to the corresponding target delivery path so as to deliver the corresponding goods of the target goods information loaded by the target transportation device to the corresponding destination.
In determining a target delivery path for the target transporter, an origin of the target transporter and a delivery destination for each set of cargo information on the target transporter may be first determined; and then determining a target delivery path of the target transportation device by using an operation optimization algorithm according to the origin of the target transportation device and the delivery destination of each group of goods information on the target transportation device.
Step 310: and determining the cargo quantity corresponding to the target cargo information and the capacity parameter corresponding to the target transportation device.
In step 310, the capability parameter may be understood as the number of shippers' loads.
Step 311: and determining the time required by the target transportation device to load the goods corresponding to the target goods information according to the quantity of the goods corresponding to the target goods information and the capacity parameter corresponding to the target transportation device.
Determining the time required for the target transportation device to load the corresponding goods of the target goods information based on the number of goods to be loaded and the capacity parameters of the transportation device can enable the accuracy to be higher.
In general, the longer the load is required for a larger number of loads to be loaded, the general trend can be described as: as the number of goods increases when the number of goods is small, the loading time steadily increases; but as the number of goods increases when the number of goods is large, the time required for loading increases rapidly. It is therefore not suitable to describe the relationship between the number of goods of the target goods information and the required time for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information with a simple linear relationship, and for this purpose the following model is proposed to describe the relationship between the number of goods of the target goods information and the required time for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information:
Wherein t represents the time required for loading the goods corresponding to the target goods information; x represents the cargo quantity of the target cargo information; x is x 0 Inflection point, x, representing the number of loads 0 Is an empirical value; x is x max An upper limit representing the amount of cargo loaded; a, a 1 ,a 2 ,a 3 ,a 4 Are all constant.
In the case where the number of cargos of the target cargo information is the same, as the capacity parameter increases, the required time for loading the target cargo information corresponding to the cargos smoothly decreases and tends to a stable value, and thus the relationship between the capacity parameter of the transportation device and the required time for loading the target cargo information corresponding to the cargos is described using the following formula:
wherein y represents a capacity parameter of the transportation device or referred to as the number of loading, a 5 ,a 6 ,a 7 Are all constant.
In summary, equation 3) can be obtained according to equation 1) and equation 2), and equation 3) is a model that comprehensively considers the cargo quantity of the target cargo information and the capacity parameter of the transportation device. The time required for the target transportation device to load the corresponding cargo of the target cargo information may be determined based on the following formula 3):
step 312: and determining the earliest idle time of the next time of the target clamping position according to the sum of the time required by the target transport device for loading the corresponding goods of the target goods information.
In step 312, the earliest idle time of the next time of the target card may be understood as the time when the target transport device completes the loading task of the goods corresponding to the target goods information or the earliest idle time corresponding to the next time of the target card. It is understood that the earliest idle time of the next time of the target location may be the sum of the time the target transport device arrives at the target location and the time required to load the corresponding cargo of the target cargo information.
Step 313: and updating the sequence of the earliest idle time of each clamping position in the third container and the grouping number of the cargo information of the unloaded cargoes in the second container according to the earliest idle time of the next time of the target clamping position. Step 306 continues to be performed after step 313.
For convenience of description of the control method of the transportation device, the following variables are defined: assuming that the goods to be dispensed in the second container are authenticThe rest has n groups, expressed as { g } 1 ,g 2 ,…,g n Number of corresponding groups isThe number of vehicles available for transporting the corresponding cargo information is n, denoted as { v } 1 ,v 2 ,…,v n }. The third container has a number of bits of m, denoted { p } 1 ,p 2 ,…,p m }。
In order to facilitate the description of the control method of the transport device, several assumptions are made as follows:
(i) The distribution staff and the transportation device are in one-to-one correspondence and are available at any time;
(ii) The cargo information of the transport means is determined, i.e. the loading task amount is unchanged during the dispatch of the transport means;
(iii) After the transportation device on the clamping position completes the loading task, the clamping position is in an idle state immediately, and the time for the transportation device to leave and enter the clamping position is ignored;
(iv) The properties of the bits are the same, and any grouping of cargo information can be loaded in any bit.
Based on greedy ideas and the above assumptions, the specific processing procedure of the control method of the transport device is as follows:
(1) Arranging the cargo information of the second container to be loaded with the cargo according to the cargo quantity from large to small, wherein the ordered result of the cargo information of the second container to be loaded with the cargo is { g } 1 ,g 2 ,…,g n };
(2) Sorting the transportation devices of the first container according to the capacity parameter, wherein the transportation devices with large capacity parameter are arranged in front, and the sorting result of the transportation devices of the first container is { v } 1 ,v 2 ,…,v n };
(3) In order to improve the loading efficiency, a transport device with a large capacity parameter can be allocated to the information of a large number of cargoes, namely, the following correspondence relation exists
{v 1 →g 1 ,v 2 →g 2 ,…,v n →g n The number of the transporting devices to be scheduled is n, and the number of the cargo information packets to be loaded is n;
(4) After matching the transporting device of the first container with the cargo information of the second container, each group of cargo information in the second container may be used as target cargo information, a target transporting device corresponding to the target cargo information may be determined, and further, a sum of times required for loading the cargo corresponding to the target cargo information by each target transporting device may be determined, where it is assumed that the time required for loading each cargo information in the second container is expressed as
{v 1 →g 1 →t 1 ,v 2 →g 2 →t 2 ,…,v n →g n →t n };
(5) In the initial allocation stage of the clamping positions, if the number m of the clamping positions free in the third container is greater than or equal to the number n of the cargo information packets of the transporting device in the first container, the transporting device in the first container can simultaneously arrive at the logistics service center to execute the loading task at the time t without additional waiting time, and the cargo information loaded by the transporting device corresponds to the packet number and the corresponding time for completing loading is as follows:
{v 1 →g 1 →t+t 1 ,v 2 →g 2 →t+t 2 ,…,v n →g n →t+t n }. If the number m of free bits in the third container is smaller than the number n of cargo information packets of the transport means in the first container, i.e. m<n, selecting the first m transportation devices in the first set to arrive at the distribution center at the time t to execute the loading task ({ v) 1 →t,v 2 →t,…,v m -t }). At this time, the cargo information loaded by the m transport devices corresponds to the group number and the corresponding time for completing the loading is:
{v 1 →g 1 →t+t 1 ,v 2 →g 2 →t+t 2 ,…,v m →g m →t+t m loading completion time is the earliest idle time of the corresponding card bit, i.e. the earliest idle time of the card bit is
{p 1 →t+t 1 ,p 2 →t+t 2 ,…,p m →t+t m }. The remaining n-m sets of cargo information in the second container are represented by the variable k, k=n-m. Wherein n-m transport devices to be dispatched are used, and the matching relationship between the transport devices to be dispatched and the n-m groups of cargo information remained in the second container is { v } m →g m ,…,v n →g n },m<n。
(6) In the reassignment stage of the bits, if the number k of packets of the remaining cargo information in the second container is greater than 0, the bits are ordered according to the earliest idle time, assuming that the ordering result isThe first card bit allocated to the earliest idle card bit is extracted according to the sorting of the cargo information packets in the second container
And updating the earliest idle time of the bit +.>And updating the grouping number of the cargo information of the second container which is not loaded with the cargo, namely k=k-1. If the grouping number k=0 of the cargo information in the second container, the cargo information in the second container is completely distributed, and the transportation device in the first container is completely dispatched; if the number k of packets of cargo information in the second container >And 0, continuing to execute the step of card bit reassignment.
The processing procedure of the control method of the transport device of the present application will be exemplarily described with reference to the accompanying drawings and tables. It should be noted that one to-be-delivered order corresponds to a set of to-be-delivered cargo information.
The number of the clamping positions of the existing warehouse is 10 (the numbers of v1, v2, … and v 10), namely the clamping position of the third container is 10, the covered area is divided into 20 distribution units (the numbers of s1, s2, … and s 20), and each distribution unit is provided with one conveying device (the numbers of p1, p2, … and p 20), namely the number of the conveying devices of the first container is 10. Assume that the total amount of the items to be dispensed on the same day is 1200 items, i.e., the amount of the items in the second container is 1200 items. The average productivity of the warehouse was 10 single/min, and the warehouse was 6:00 for production operations. If the production is not carried out according to the distribution unit, the worst case is: 7:58, the first delivery unit completes the production of all orders; if the delivery units are to be produced, then the time at which each delivery unit completes production is predicted as shown in Table 1, and it can be seen that the earliest 6:08 has the first delivery unit to complete production of all orders.
TABLE 1 estimated production completion time for each dispensing unit
For ease of calculation, assuming that the transportation device is informed to the warehouse for picking up the goods at intervals of 10min, the transportation device may be allocated to each of the distribution units according to step 103 or step 204, and the loading completion time may be estimated using the above formula 3), and the time may be taken as the picking up completion time, as shown in table 2, it may be seen that waiting is required after no vehicle arrives at the warehouse.

As can be seen from table 2, the dispatcher does not have to wait while picking. If a uniform time of arrival (e.g., 8:00) is provided for the dispatcher, at least 1 hour is required to wait for the pick to be performed. However, in the actual delivery process, the delivery personnel often delivers according to personal experience and habit, and the delivery sequence is not planned as a whole from the global consideration, so that problems of long travel path, long overall delivery time and the like in the delivery process can be caused, and the delivery efficiency is affected. In order to solve the unreasonable problem of manual sequencing, an operation planning optimization algorithm can be adopted to carry out path planning from the global angle. To more clearly illustrate the advantages of route planning using the operation planning optimization method, the following description is made in connection with test data, as shown in table 3. To more intuitively understand the distribution of the orders to be distributed, the data of table 3 is displayed on a two-dimensional plane, as shown in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 5, the dispenser performs the actual delivery route corresponding to the delivery according to his own delivery experience and habit. Fig. 6 shows a distribution path obtained by using an operation optimization algorithm, and as can be seen from fig. 6, the distribution path planned by using the operation optimization method can avoid a round trip. After the delivery path is planned, the receiving time of each delivery node in the target delivery path can be determined; for example: the time to reach each delivery node can be estimated based on the travel time between the two delivery nodes, the time each delivery node needs to stay (service time), and the departure time. And then, according to the receiving time of each delivery node in the target delivery path, sending the receiving time to a receiving terminal corresponding to each delivery node, thereby avoiding the condition that the delivery staff confirms the receiving time of the clients one by one.
In summary, from the global perspective, the method reasonably arranges warehouse production flow, delivery time of the delivery person, planning delivery path, estimating time reaching the customer point, and the like, so that the delivery efficiency of the delivery person can be improved to a certain extent, and the overall working time of the delivery person is shortened.
