Description

Method and system for optimizing article delivery time
Technical Field
The invention relates to an article distribution time optimization method and system.
Background
With the adjustment of urban industrial layout, the continuous upgrade of modern consumption modes, the wide application of electronic commerce technology and the increasing diversification of urban industrial and commercial development modes, the demands of small-batch, multi-frequency, highly-efficient direct distribution, residential distribution and 'door-to-door' distribution are increasing day by day. How to shorten the total time of goods distribution is the key to improve the logistics service efficiency. For how the article delivery time is shortened, the existing research can refer to the article delivery Problem, and also refer to the Vehicle path Problem (VRP) with time window limitation or uncertain assembly time. Past research has often focused on customer order distribution, route optimization and distribution center location under certain conditions.
In recent years, network retail industry has emerged, and many e-commerce enterprises provide customers with high-quality urban logistics service, so that some researchers start to shift to new research directions. For example, non-patent document "Vehicle routing with routing delivery location" by Reyes in 2017 mentions VRP for mobile delivery locations; trentini and Malhn referred to integration of public transportation networks in non-patent publication Toward a shared urban transport system sensors & goods 2010; and unmanned aerial vehicles vigorously developed in the state are applied to article distribution. There have also been many studies to solve the problem of item delivery time through modeling and algorithms, for example, erico expressed the problem as a set partitioning model in 2018, which has a probability constraint on the global success probability of the routing plan, and proposed a branch price reduction algorithm combining the column generation process and the dynamic planning method; lee applied robust optimization in 2012 to the problem of VRP with uncertain transportation and demand, and customer demand deadlines.
However, in the delivery time optimization algorithm in the prior art, due to the fact that the order quantity of the customers is too large, the personalized requirements of the customers are more, the assembly time is greatly changed, uncertainty and random factors are too much, and therefore a solution is difficult to find, the delivery path of a delivery vehicle is not ideal, and the delivery time can not be saved.

Due to all t p (P ∈ P) is an independent random variable that follows a normal distribution, and the random variable θ is also normally distributed, i.e.

Due to all t p Are normally distributed random variables, so η is also a normally distributed random variable, and the mean and variance of η can be derived as:

From the above results, we can obtain
Figure BDA0002227924360000121
With the above results, we can transform the opportunity constrained optimization model into an equivalent delivery time optimization model, i.e., the delivery time optimization model described above is a transformation of the deterministic capacity constrained vehicle routing problem, which minimizes not only transit time for all delivery vehicles, but also assembly and waiting time for all goods.
And 103, obtaining a delivery path of the delivery vehicle according to the article delivery time optimization model, wherein the sum of the total transportation time and the total assembly time is the minimum value through the delivery path.
The step of obtaining the delivery path of the delivery vehicle according to the article delivery time optimization model comprises the step of calculating the delivery time optimization model through a first algorithm based on a time sliding mechanism and a saving algorithm and a variable neighborhood search algorithm to obtain the delivery path.
Wherein the first algorithm based on the time-sliding mechanism and the saving algorithm comprises: the route with the most time saving is obtained through a time saving algorithm, the time of the earliest arrival of all customers is sequenced by using a time sliding mechanism, and then the route is assigned to each vehicle.
Specifically, the present invention needs to calculate the delivery Time optimization model, and the calculation of the model includes two sub-algorithms, wherein one of the sub-algorithms is a first algorithm based on a Time sliding mechanism and a saving algorithm, that is, a Time sliding and saving algorithm-based heuristic (TSSA), and the other is a Variable neighbor Search algorithm (VNS) that has been applied to various VRPs. The calculation comprises the following steps:
initializing all distribution time optimization model parameters;
sort in descending order of time according to the client time window and then prioritize the clients that were dispatched earlier, i.e., the time-sliding mechanism. Then a feasible solution is found by utilizing a first algorithm;
finding a better feasible scheme from the generated feasible schemes by using a variable neighborhood searching algorithm;
if the preset condition is satisfied, outputting an optimal solution, otherwise, returning to the previous step.
Namely: initial recipe x, record function value as F EDP (x) Let the optimal solution x * Current solution x ═ x cs =x;

If the termination condition is satisfied;

In this algorithm, the stopping criterion is set as follows: if the solution quality for a given number of iterations does not improve, or a preset number of iterations is performed, the search process will stop.
The invention is further illustrated in the following by a specific example:
the warehouse management system database of the enterprise A is used for acquiring the order quantity, the detailed address of the client, the expected time window of the client, the commodity information, the vehicle information and the like. From the viewpoint of cost saving, companies currently use only one truck and have a total of 14 trucks.
The company needs to distribute 64 products to customers and collect their data over 30 working days. First, we used the assembly times of the first 29 working days to study and estimate distribution parameters for each cargo, including the mean and variance of the assembly times for representative commodities (10 commodities) (see below)
Table 1), and probability distribution parameters, i.e., mean and variance, corresponding to the ten product assembly times.
TABLE 1 Assembly time mean and variance table for representative articles
Figure BDA0002227924360000133
