The term "closed logistics area" as referred to in the present invention means an area having logistics distribution business, which is relatively closed compared to the external environment, such as a road port, a sea-facing port, a mine site, an airport, a cargo collection place, a park, etc.
In this document, any number of elements in the drawings is by way of example and not by way of limitation, and any nomenclature is used solely for differentiation and not by way of limitation.
The invention provides a vehicle dispatching method, which is applied to dispatching vehicles in ports, and as shown in figure 1, the method comprises the following steps:
step S100, receiving a transportation task, wherein the transportation task comprises a loading address of a container to be transported.
According to the port service characteristics, the loading address is generally the dock where the ship where the container to be transported is located is to be unloaded in the ship unloading service, and the loading address is generally the box area where the container to be transported is stored in the ship loading service.
And S101, determining port equipment for loading the container to be transported according to the loading address.
It should be noted that the port machinery equipment referred to in the present invention includes but is not limited to: the crane comprises a front crane, a container empty container stacking machine, a forklift, a port rubber-tyred crane (such as a tire crane), a material grabbing machine, an overhead crane, a portal crane, a rail type container gantry crane (such as a rail type gantry crane), a rubber-tyred container gantry crane (such as a tire type gantry crane) and a shore container crane (such as a shore crane). For example, in the ship unloading business, the port machinery used for loading the container to be transported is generally a shore crane located on a wharf of the ship unloading business, and in the ship loading business, the port machinery used for loading the container to be transported is generally a tire crane and a gantry crane located in a box area.
In one embodiment, this step may be implemented as follows: and determining the port machine equipment positioned at the loading address as the port machine equipment used for loading the container to be transported.
In another embodiment, this step may be implemented as follows: the method comprises the steps of storing each port machine device and the area in charge of the port device in a port area in advance, judging the area to which a loading address of a container to be transported belongs in a current transportation task, and then determining the port machine device in charge of the area as the port machine device for loading the container to be transported.
In specific implementation, when a port machine device located at a loading address or a port machine device in a region to which the loading address belongs has a fault, the step may also be implemented according to the following manner: and determining other port machine equipment for executing loading and unloading tasks instead of the port machine equipment with the fault, and determining the other port machine equipment as the port machine equipment for loading the containers to be delivered.
In a specific implementation, the port machine device that executes the loading and unloading task instead of the port machine device that has the fault may be another port machine device closest to the port machine device that has the fault.
And step S102, calculating the end time of the loading and unloading task executed by the port machine equipment.
Specifically, each time a port equipment receives a loading and unloading task, the time required by the loading and unloading task can be calculated according to the average operation time of the port equipment and the number of containers required to be operated by the loading and unloading task.
In one embodiment, the average working time of the port machinery equipment can be calculated by the following method: recording the total consumed time of the port machine equipment for executing each loading and unloading task and the total number of the operated containers, calculating the average time of the port machine equipment for loading and unloading one container in each loading and unloading task (obtained by dividing the total consumed time of each loading and unloading task by the total number of the operated containers), calculating the average time of the port machine equipment for loading and unloading one container in the previous loading and unloading tasks, and determining the average time as the average operation time of the port machine equipment.
Where the time a port machine apparatus is loading or unloading a container is the time it takes the port machine apparatus to load or unload a container, for example the time it takes a shore crane to load a container from a ship onto a vehicle, or the time it takes a tyre crane to unload a container from a vehicle to a container bay.
The operational stability of port equipment varies due to environmental factors of port operations, which may result in large fluctuations in the time the same port equipment operates containers under different environmental conditions, e.g. when weather conditions are good, it takes less time to load and unload a container, and when weather conditions are not good, it takes more time to load and unload a container. In view of this, in one embodiment, the average working time of the port equipment may be calculated as follows: the total time consumed by the port machine equipment to execute the latest loading and unloading task and the total number of loaded and unloaded containers are recorded, the time required by the port machine equipment to load and unload one container in the latest loading and unloading task on average is calculated (the time is obtained by dividing the total time consumed by the latest loading and unloading task by the total number of loaded and unloaded containers), and the time required by the port machine equipment to load and unload one container on average in the latest loading and unloading task is determined as the average operation time of the port machine equipment.
And step S103, acquiring the current position of each vehicle in the harbor district, and estimating the time for each vehicle to travel from the current position to reach the loading address.
Specifically, this step may determine the current position of each vehicle by acquiring positioning information of an on-board GPS device of each vehicle.
In specific implementation, this step may use a path planning algorithm (e.g., Dijkstra algorithm) used in existing map navigation to calculate the time required for each vehicle to travel from the current location to the loading address.
Considering that the congestion condition and the speed limit condition of roads in a port can influence the time required by the vehicles to travel to reach the loading address, the step can firstly predict the route planning of each vehicle from the current position to the loading address through the existing map navigation technology, then obtain the distance of the roads related to the route planning, the current congestion state and the speed limit information, and finally calculate the time required by each vehicle to reach the loading address by combining the information.
In specific implementation, before this step, the working state of each vehicle in the port area may be obtained (for example, other transportation tasks are being executed, idling, failure, maintenance, and the like), and then in this step, only the position of the vehicle that can receive the current transportation task needs to be obtained.
And step S104, calculating the difference between the time of each vehicle reaching the loading address and the end time of the loading and unloading task being executed, and scheduling the vehicle corresponding to the minimum calculated difference to transport the container to be transported.
Through this step, the time when the vehicle finally scheduled reaches the loading address is closest to the end time of the loading/unloading task being executed by the port equipment, and the time required for waiting after the vehicle reaches is shortest.
Based on the vehicle scheduling method shown in fig. 1, when a transport task needs to schedule a vehicle, the operation condition of a port machine device for loading and unloading containers to be delivered is considered, the time of the port machine device for finishing the task is calculated, and the time of each vehicle for reaching a loading address is calculated, so that the vehicle with the least waiting time when reaching the loading address is scheduled, and the optimal utilization of the transport resources in the port is realized.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention further provides a vehicle dispatching server, which is used for executing the vehicle dispatching method of steps S100-S104, and is specifically described below.
The invention provides a vehicle dispatching server, which comprises a first processor, a first memory and a computer program which is stored on the first memory and can be run on the first processor, wherein the first processor executes the following steps when running the computer program:
receiving a transportation task, wherein the transportation task comprises a loading address of a container to be transported; determining port machine equipment for loading the container to be transported according to the loading address; calculating the end time of the loading and unloading task being executed by the port machine equipment; acquiring the current position of each vehicle in a harbor district, and estimating the time for each vehicle to travel from the current position to reach the loading address; and calculating the difference between the time of each vehicle reaching the loading address and the end time of the loading and unloading task which is being executed, and scheduling the vehicle corresponding to the minimum calculated difference to transport the container to be transported.
The method executed when the computer program in the first memory is executed is implemented based on the same inventive concept as the vehicle dispatching method shown in fig. 1, and has the same non-limiting embodiment, which specifically refers to the description of the method shown in fig. 1, and will not be described herein again.
Alternatively, in the present invention, the first processor may be implemented by a circuit, a chip, or other electronic components. For example, the first processor may also include one or more microcontrollers, one or more Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), one or more application specific circuits (ASICs), one or more Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), one or more integrated circuits, or the like.
Alternatively, in the present invention, the first memory may be implemented by a circuit, a chip, or other electronic components. For example, the first memory may include one or more of Read Only Memory (ROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), flash memory, electrically programmable memory (EPROM), electrically programmable and erasable memory (EEPROM), embedded multimedia card (eMMC), a hard drive, or any volatile or non-volatile media, among others.
Based on the inventive concept of the present invention, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, performs the vehicle scheduling method shown in fig. 1. The storage medium may be one or more of Read Only Memory (ROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), flash memory, electrically programmable memory (EPROM), electrically programmable and erasable memory (EEPROM), embedded multimedia card (eMMC), a hard drive, or any volatile or non-volatile media, among others.
Based on the same inventive concept, the invention also provides a vehicle dispatching method, which can be applied to any closed logistics distribution area, such as road ports, sea ports, mines, airports, cargo collection and distribution sites, parks and the like.
As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
step S200, receiving a transportation task, wherein the transportation task comprises a loading address of a container to be transported.
Step S201, determining the loading and unloading equipment for loading the container to be transported according to the loading address.
It should be noted that the loading and unloading device referred to in the present invention is a device for loading, unloading, moving, and lifting a cargo box in the field to which the vehicle dispatching method is applied, and includes but is not limited to: a forklift, a crane, a lifter, a conveyor, a carrier, a robot arm having a transfer function controlled by a computer, and the like.
In one embodiment, this step may be implemented as follows: and determining the loading and unloading equipment positioned at the loading address as the loading and unloading equipment for loading the container to be transported.
In another embodiment, this step may be implemented as follows: the method comprises the steps of storing each loading and unloading device and the area in charge of the loading and unloading device in a closed logistics distribution area (such as a highway port, a sea-facing port, a mine field, an airport, a cargo collection and distribution place, a park and the like) in advance, judging the area to which the loading address of a container to be transported belongs in the current transportation task, and then determining the loading and unloading device in charge of the area as the loading and unloading device for loading the container to be transported.
In a specific implementation, when the loading and unloading device located at the loading address or the loading and unloading device responsible for the area to which the loading address belongs has a fault, the step can be further implemented according to the following mode: determining other loading and unloading devices for carrying out loading and unloading tasks instead of the faulted loading and unloading device, and determining the other loading and unloading devices as the loading and unloading devices for loading the containers to be delivered.
In the case of implementation, the other load handling equipment that performs the load handling task instead of the malfunctioning load handling equipment may be the closest load handling equipment to the malfunctioning load handling equipment.
Step S202 is to calculate the end time of the loading/unloading task being executed by the loading/unloading device.
Specifically, each time the loading and unloading equipment receives a loading and unloading task, the time required by the loading and unloading task can be calculated according to the average operation time of the loading and unloading equipment and the number of containers required to be operated by the loading and unloading task.
In one embodiment, the average working time of the handling equipment may be calculated as follows: the total time consumed by the loading and unloading equipment to execute each loading and unloading task and the total number of the containers loaded and unloaded by the loading and unloading equipment are recorded, the average time required by the loading and unloading equipment to load and unload one container in each loading and unloading task is calculated (the average time is obtained by dividing the total time consumed by each loading and unloading task by the total number of the containers operated), the average value of the average time required by the loading and unloading equipment to load and unload one container in the previous loading and unloading tasks is calculated, and the average value is determined as the average operation time of the loading and unloading equipment.
The time it takes for the loading and unloading device to load or unload a container is the time it takes for the loading and unloading device to load or unload a container, for example the time it takes for a forklift to load a container from a warehouse to a vehicle, or the time it takes for a crane to unload a container from a vehicle to a warehouse.
In another embodiment, the average working time of the handling equipment can also be calculated as follows: the total time of the loading and unloading device for executing the latest loading and unloading task and the total number of the loading and unloading containers are recorded, the average time required by the loading and unloading device for loading and unloading one container in the latest loading and unloading task is calculated (the average time is obtained by dividing the total time of the latest loading and unloading task by the total number of the loaded and unloading containers), and the average time required by the loading and unloading device for loading and unloading one container in the latest loading and unloading task is determined as the average operation time of the loading and unloading device.
Step S203, obtaining the current position of each vehicle, and estimating the time for each vehicle to travel from the current position to reach the loading address.
Specifically, this step may determine the current position of each vehicle by acquiring positioning information of an on-board GPS device of each vehicle.
In specific implementation, this step may use a path planning algorithm (e.g., Dijkstra algorithm) used in existing map navigation to calculate the time required for each vehicle to travel from the current location to the loading address.
Considering that the congestion condition and the speed limit condition of the road can influence the time required by the vehicle to reach the loading address, the step can firstly predict the route planning of each vehicle from the current position to the loading address through the existing map navigation technology, then obtain the distance of the road, the current congestion state and the speed limit information related to the route planning, and finally calculate the time required by each vehicle to reach the loading address by combining the information.
In a specific implementation, before this step, the working status (for example, other transportation tasks are being performed, idling, breakdown, maintenance, etc.) of each vehicle in the closed logistics distribution area (for example, highway harbor, seaward harbor, mine site, airport, cargo collection area, park, etc.) may be obtained, and then only the position of the vehicle capable of receiving the transportation task in this step needs to be obtained.
And step S204, calculating the difference between the time of each vehicle reaching the loading address and the end time of the loading and unloading task being executed, and scheduling the vehicle corresponding to the minimum calculated difference to transport the container to be transported.
In this step, the time required for the vehicle to arrive at the loading address, which is finally scheduled, is closest to the end time of the loading/unloading task being executed by the loading/unloading device, and the time required for waiting until the vehicle arrives is shortest.
Based on the vehicle scheduling method shown in fig. 2, when a transportation task needs to schedule a vehicle, the operation condition of the loading and unloading equipment for loading and unloading the container to be delivered is considered, the time for the loading and unloading equipment to finish the task is calculated, and the time for each vehicle to reach the loading address is calculated, so that the vehicle with the least waiting time when the vehicle reaches the loading address is scheduled, and the optimal utilization of transportation resources in a relatively closed area such as a road port, a sea port, a mine field, an airport, a cargo collection and distribution area is realized.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention further provides a vehicle dispatching server, which is used for executing the vehicle dispatching method of steps S200-S204, and is specifically described below.
