Description

Matching method and device for goods transportation

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of logistics allocation, in particular to a matching method and a matching device for cargo transportation.

Background

Road transportation is the general term for the transportation of passengers or goods and related business activities by using automobiles or other transportation tools on public roads (including all roads where automobiles can be driven in cities, towns, and countryside).

Road transportation is divided into three modes of direct transportation, trunk transportation and short-distance distributed transportation. Therefore, the road transportation has the functions of 'passing through' transportation and 'delivery' or 'distribution', and particularly the 'delivery' or 'distribution' function is an indispensable component in transportation as a terminal transportation mode of other transportation modes (except pipelines), and plays an important role in a comprehensive transportation system. With the development of the highway to the network scale, the road transportation system plays an increasingly important role by utilizing the trunk transportation function of the highway.

With the progress of housing and technology in society, traffic management and traffic engineering are gradually developing into an intelligent traffic system. The intelligent transportation system is an accurate and efficient transportation system established by integrating and applying advanced electronic technology, information technology, sensing technology and system engineering technology to ground traffic management on the basis of more perfect road facilities.

However, for different links of the transportation system, transportation personnel, transportation vehicles, goods and even warehouses are basically in disjointed states. Due to the fact that the transportation personnel or the transportation vehicles are in an idle state when finding goods for transportation due to unsmooth information, the goods can be transported without finding suitable transportation personnel or transportation vehicles, and the transportation efficiency is low.

In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a matching method for goods transportation by combining with an increasingly advanced information technology.

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. It is noted that the aspects described below in connection with the figures and the specific embodiments are only exemplary and should not be construed as imposing any limitation on the scope of the present invention.

According to one aspect of the invention, a matching method for goods transportation matching is provided and used for determining a matching scheme between a transportation person and a transportation vehicle.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the freight transportation match matching method 100 may include steps S110-S130.

Step S110 is: the method comprises the steps of obtaining a cargo transportation request, wherein the cargo transportation request at least comprises cargo attributes.

The cargo transportation request is typically a transportation order placed by the shipper or the orderer. The cargo property refers to a characteristic or a requirement related to a physical condition or a storage condition of the cargo, such as a cargo size related to a storage space required for the cargo, a cargo weight related to a load of a transport vehicle, a physical state of the cargo related to the storage condition of the cargo or a start time, an arrival time, and a time urgency related to a transport time of the cargo, and the like. It will be appreciated that the appropriate shipping scheme to which the request for shipment of goods corresponds may be determined by the attributes of the goods included in the request for shipment of goods.

Step S120 is: and determining an optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and an optional transportation personnel composition scheme which meet the cargo attribute based on the cargo attribute.

The alternative transport vehicle refers to a vehicle that meets the transport requirements of the cargo and should not be understood as a narrow sense truck. The transportation requirements of the goods may include weight requirements, size requirements, transportation time requirements, and the like, and correspondingly, satisfying the transportation requirements of the goods may refer to: the load capacity is larger than the cargo weight in the cargo attribute, the transport vehicle can be used for storing the cargo in the physical state in the cargo attribute, and the transport vehicle is in an idle state in the corresponding time range in the cargo transportation request. The optional transportation vehicle composition scheme refers to a combination of transportation vehicles for fulfilling transportation requirements of all the cargos of the cargo transportation request, and specifically may include a plurality of quantity transportation vehicles of a plurality of storage types and a plurality of individual quantity types. When the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme comprises a plurality of transportation vehicles, the transportation requirements meeting the goods can correspond to the following steps: the total load capacity of all transport vehicles in the selectable transport vehicle composition scheme is greater than the cargo type in the cargo attribute, different types of cargo have transport vehicles meeting the corresponding storage condition, and the weight of different types of cargo is less than the load capacity of transport vehicles meeting the storage condition of the type of cargo.

The optional transportation person may refer to a transportation person bound with the optional transportation vehicle or a transportation person that may drive the optional transportation vehicle and be in an idle state for a time range corresponding to the cargo transportation request. Correspondingly, the optional transportation personnel composition scheme may refer to a personnel scheme composed of transportation personnel bound by all transportation vehicles in the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme or a personnel scheme composed of transportation personnel having the driving qualification of any one transportation vehicle in the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and being in an idle state within a corresponding time range in the cargo transportation request.

It is to be understood that the alternative transportation vehicle configuration may include one or more alternative transportation vehicles and the alternative transportation personnel configuration may include one or more alternative transportation personnel.

It will be appreciated that the cargo transportation request may be a transportation order placed to a transportation platform having information for all transportation vehicles and transportation personnel, and then the transportation platform may determine an alternative transportation vehicle composition scheme and an alternative transportation personnel composition scheme that satisfies the cargo property requirements based on the transportation vehicles and transportation personnel that are free within the time frame required to correspond to the cargo transportation request. Alternatively, the cargo transportation request may be a transportation order made to a third-party intermediary platform, the third-party intermediary platform may further receive order taking requests of the respective idle transportation vehicles and transportation persons, and the third-party intermediary platform matches the received cargo transportation request with the order taking requests of the idle transportation vehicles and the transportation persons to determine the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and the optional transportation person composition scheme.

Specifically, the transportation platform or the third party intermediary platform may match the transportation vehicle and the transportation person corresponding to the cargo attribute, which the transportation platform or the third party intermediary platform has or receives, based on the related requirement of the cargo attribute, to determine at least one transportation scheme that can complete the cargo transportation request, where the transportation scheme includes at least one optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and one transportation person composition scheme.

Step S130 is: and determining a transport vehicle composition scheme and a transport personnel composition scheme from the optional transport vehicle composition scheme and the optional transport personnel composition scheme according to a minimum cost principle.

The minimum cost principle means that the task is completed with minimum cost. When multiple transportation schemes exist, the transportation schemes can complete the cargo transportation order, and then the transportation scheme with the lowest cost can be determined based on the cost consumed by each transportation scheme, and the transportation vehicle composition scheme and the transportation personnel composition scheme in the transportation scheme with the lowest cost can be determined as a transporting vehicle composition scheme and a transporting personnel composition scheme.

The cost of the transportation scheme may be measured by the transportation scale of the transportation vehicle, the allocation scale of the personnel, and other resource values. When there are multiple costs of different types, the cost spent for each transportation scheme can be measured comprehensively based on the scarcity or pricing of each cost.

Still further, an optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and an optional transportation personnel composition scheme may be determined based on different attributes of the cargo.

In particular embodiments, the cargo attributes may preferably include physical attributes and transit time attributes. Physical attributes refer to attributes associated with physical conditions required for the transportation of goods, such as: physical states of cargo, including liquid, solid and gaseous; the physical size of the cargo; hazardous characteristics of the cargo, including normal, cold chain, hazardous chemicals, and the like; and other attributes associated with the transportation of the cargo. The transportation time attribute refers to a transportation time required by a requester of the cargo transportation request, and may include: the receiving time and the delivery time may include an intermediate handover time and an emergency degree, if necessary, and the times may correspond to a narrow time or a wide time period.

Then, step S120 may correspondingly include steps S121 to S122, as shown in fig. 2.

Step S121 is: a desired transport vehicle composition scheme is determined based on the physical attributes of the cargo.

The transportation vehicle composition scheme refers to the type of transportation vehicle and the corresponding number thereof meeting the physical property requirement of the cargo, and each transportation vehicle composition scheme may include the type of transportation vehicle and the required number of transportation vehicles of each type, which may be specifically understood as the composition scheme of the transportation vehicle required for completing the transportation process of all the cargos in the cargo transportation request.

The vehicle type is not limited to the body type classification of the transportation vehicle, but also includes storage conditions and body size condition classification of the transportation vehicle, and the like. The type of transport vehicles required and their number may be determined separately based on different physical properties of the cargo. For example, when the storage space of a transport vehicle is a closed compartment, the physical size of the goods that can be loaded by the transport vehicle needs to be smaller than or equal to the size of the storage space of the transport vehicle, and when the storage space of one transport vehicle is not enough to carry all the goods, a plurality of transport vehicles need to be combined to load all the goods; when the rated loading capacity of the cargo of one transport vehicle is smaller than the physical total weight of the cargo, a plurality of transport vehicles are required to be combined to realize the loading of all the cargo, and if necessary, the physical size and the physical weight of the cargo are combined to comprehensively determine the required combined number of the transport vehicles; when the goods are dangerous chemicals, the transport vehicle needs to have the capacity of correspondingly isolating and storing the corresponding types of dangerous chemicals in an explosion-proof, leakage-proof or corrosion-proof manner, namely the type attribute of the goods can be used for determining the storage condition requirement on the transport vehicle, and then the type of the transport vehicle meeting the storage condition requirement can be determined.

For example, assuming that the physical properties of the cargo corresponding to a cargo transportation request include a weight of 10 tons and a category of food, the cargo can be transported by a truck having a common storage condition. The trucks can be classified into micro-trucks, light trucks, medium trucks, heavy trucks and the like based on their carrying capacity, and the required number of trucks can be determined by using trucks with different carrying capacities. For example, if a light truck with a load of about 5 tons is used, two light trucks are required for the cargo to complete the transportation request; if the medium card with the load capacity of about 12 tons is adopted, the goods only need one medium card to complete the transportation request; if a heavy truck with a load greater than 14 tons is used, only one heavy truck is required for the cargo. Two light trucks, a medium truck or a heavy truck can respectively form a transportation vehicle composition scheme.

It will be appreciated that the request for the shipment of goods may be in a variety of forms, and that the type of transport vehicle determined based on the physical attributes of each of the goods may be the same or different. If the types of the transportation vehicles required by the various cargos are the same, all cargos can be integrated to determine the required number of the transportation vehicles; if the types of transportation vehicles required for the plurality of cargoes are different, the number of each type of transportation vehicle required may be determined separately based on the types of the different transportation vehicles, respectively.

It is understood that the transportation platform or the third party platform may have or receive information of vehicle types of all transportation vehicles, and based on the physical attributes of the cargo included in the cargo transportation request, at least one combination of the type and the number of transportation vehicles satisfying all physical attribute limitations of the cargo is determined.

Step S122 is: and determining an optional transport person composition scheme and an optional transport vehicle composition scheme in the transport vehicle composition schemes based on the transport time attribute.

And determining a transportation vehicle composition scheme satisfying the limitation of the transportation time attribute as an optional transportation vehicle composition scheme from the transportation vehicle composition schemes satisfying the limitation of all physical attributes of the goods.

Specifically, the transportation vehicle composition scheme that all transportation vehicles are in the idle state within the transportation time range limited by the transportation time attribute of the cargo transportation request may be determined as an optional transportation vehicle composition scheme based on the scheduling time of all transportation vehicles involved in each transportation vehicle composition scheme, that is, all transportation vehicles included in the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme are in the idle state within the transportation time range limited by the transportation time attribute of the cargo transportation request, where the transportation vehicle in the idle state means that the transportation vehicle has no transportation scheduling. Alternatively, a transportation vehicle composition scheme in which the time available for all transportation vehicles to complete the cargo transportation request falls within the time range of the transportation time limit of the cargo transportation request is determined as an optional transportation vehicle composition scheme, i.e., the planned time for completing the cargo transportation request of the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme falls within the transportation time range of the transportation time attribute limit of the cargo transportation request.

The carrier make-up protocol generally needs to correspond to the transport vehicle make-up protocol. The corresponding relationship is as follows: each transport vehicle in a transport vehicle composition scheme can find a transport person with the driving qualification of the transport vehicle in the corresponding transport person composition scheme, and all transport vehicles in the transport vehicle composition scheme can be started at the same time under the requirement of at least one person driving one transport vehicle.

Because the operational time of a transport vehicle is much greater than the operational time of a transport person, each transport vehicle profile may include one or more transport person profiles. Therefore, after the selectable transportation vehicle composition scheme is determined, the number of transportation persons required by each type of transportation vehicle in the selectable transportation vehicle composition scheme can be correspondingly determined based on the type and the number of the transportation vehicles included in each selectable transportation vehicle composition scheme, then the number of the transportation persons required by all types of transportation vehicles included in the selectable transportation vehicle composition scheme constitutes the transportation person composition scheme, and then the selectable transportation person composition scheme is determined by combining the driving schedule of each transportation person in the transportation person composition scheme.

Specifically, the optional transportation personnel composition scheme may refer to that each optional transportation personnel in the transportation personnel composition scheme is in an idle state within the transportation time range limited by the transportation time attribute in the cargo transportation request, wherein the transportation personnel being in the idle state refers to that the transportation personnel does not drive a schedule. Alternatively, the optional transportation personnel composition scheme may mean that the planned time for all transportation personnel in the transportation personnel composition scheme to complete the cargo transportation trip of the cargo transportation request is within the time range limited by the transportation time attribute of the cargo transportation request.

In some cases, the transport vehicle and the transport crew are in a binding relationship, i.e., one transport vehicle is driven by a fixed number of fixed transport crews. The scheduling of the transport vehicle and the scheduling of the transport crew are unified. In this case, the above-described step of determining the transportation person may be omitted. And after the optional transport vehicles are determined, the transport personnel bound by the optional transport vehicles are the optional transport personnel.

Correspondingly, in the subsequent process of determining the transporting vehicles and the transporting personnel, the optional transporting personnel do not need to be determined, only the transporting vehicles are determined, and the transporting personnel bound by the transporting vehicles are the transporting personnel.

However, since the working time of the transportation personnel is far shorter than that of the transportation vehicle, if the transportation vehicle and the transportation personnel are in a binding relationship, the transportation resources of the transportation vehicle are wasted. Thus, when the transit vehicle is a non-private vehicle, a common form of matching transit vehicles and transit persons takes the form of several transit vehicles of the same type matching several transit persons. When there is a cargo transportation request, the optional transportation vehicle and the optional transportation person are comprehensively determined based on the transportation schedule of the transportation vehicle and the driving schedule of the transportation person. Alternative transportation vehicle configurations are typically determined and then the optional transportation persons are determined from the transportation persons that can drive any one type of transportation vehicle from among the alternative transportation vehicle configurations.

The step S130 is divided into two steps of determining a transporting vehicle composition scheme and a transporting person composition scheme. Specifically, determining the carrier vehicle composition scheme may be implemented by steps S131-S132 shown in fig. 3; determining the carrier transportation person composition scheme may be separately determined based on different matching forms of the transportation vehicle and the transportation person as described above.

As shown in fig. 3, step S131 is: and determining the full load rate of each optional transport vehicle composition scheme when all the goods corresponding to the goods transport request are transported.

The full load factor refers to the degree of full load of the load carried by the transport vehicle, and is the ratio of the actual loading force of the transport vehicle to the theoretical loading force. The full load rate of the alternative transportation vehicle composition scheme refers to the ratio of the total actual loading force and the total theoretical loading force of all transportation vehicles in the alternative transportation vehicle composition scheme, and can be determined by adopting the formula (1).

Wherein R is_fIs the full load factor, W, of a transport vehicle make-up scheme_rIs the sum of the actual carrying weights of all transport vehicles in the transport vehicle composition scheme, W_tIs the sum of theoretical loading weights, V, of all transport vehicles in the transport vehicle composition_rIs the sum of the actual cargo volumes, V, of all transport vehicles in the transport vehicle configuration_tThe sum of the theoretical cargo volumes of all transport vehicles in the transport vehicle composition plan.

Step S132 is: and determining the optional transport vehicle composition scheme with the maximum loading rate as the carrying transport vehicle composition scheme.

It can be understood that when the transportation personnel and the transportation vehicles are fixedly matched, the transportation personnel fixedly matched with all the transportation vehicles in the transportation vehicle composition scheme becomes the transportation personnel composition scheme.

When the transport personnel and the transport vehicle are not fixedly matched, the transport personnel composition scheme can be determined from the selectable transport personnel composition scheme corresponding to the transport vehicle composition scheme based on the minimum cost principle after the transport vehicle composition scheme is determined based on the corresponding relation between the selectable transport vehicle composition scheme and the selectable transport personnel composition scheme.

Preferably, the optional transportation personnel composition scheme with the largest free degree in the optional transportation personnel composition schemes corresponding to the transportation vehicle composition scheme can be determined as the transportation personnel composition scheme, so as to avoid the influence of other driving schedule emergencies on the completion of the cargo transportation request. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, step S130 may further include steps S133-S134.

Step S133 is: the extent of idleness of each alternative transportation personnel component scheme is determined.

Assuming that the transportation time attribute of the cargo transportation request defines a time range from T1 to T2, the vacancy degree of the transportation person refers to a ratio of the vacancy time of the transportation person to a time span between a preset time interval before T1 and a preset time interval after T2. The idleness of the optional transportation personnel component plan may refer to a ratio of the sum of the idle times of all the transportation personnel in the optional transportation personnel component plan to the sum of the time spans. The sum of the time spans is the time span between the preset time interval before T1 to the preset time interval after T2 multiplied by the number of transport persons included in the alternative transport person composition scheme.

Step S134 is: and determining the optional transport personnel composition scheme with the largest free degree as the transport carrier composition scheme.

Further, to improve utilization of transportation resources, after determining a consignment vehicle make-up solution for a cargo transportation request, it can be determined whether to complete other cargo transportation requests at the same time as the cargo transportation request, i.e. commonly understood contract transportation, based on the full load rate of the consignment vehicle make-up solution.

Specifically, the freight transportation matching method 100 may further include steps S140-S150 as shown in fig. 5.

Step S140 is: and responding to the situation that the full load rate of the transport vehicle composition scheme corresponding to the cargo transportation request does not reach the preset threshold value, and matching the residual carrying capacity of the transport vehicle composition scheme with other cargo transportation requests.

The preset threshold for the fullness rate may be set to 100% in general, but may be dynamically set based on the size of the transportation resource.

The remaining carrying capacity refers to the capacity of the transporting vehicle composition scheme of the remaining transporting goods after the completion of the cargo transporting request, and may refer to the remaining carrying capacity of the transporting vehicle composition scheme in terms of the above-mentioned different cargo attributes. For example, when the full load rate of the transporting vehicle composition scheme determined for a cargo transportation request does not reach the preset threshold, the remaining load capacity, the remaining storage space and the storage condition of the transporting vehicle composition scheme may be used as a virtual transporting vehicle, the relevant attribute information of the transporting vehicle composition scheme is stored in the transporting platform or is submitted to a third party platform as an order receiving request, and then another cargo transportation request is matched in the process of continuously executing the steps S110 to S130. The remaining capacity of each transport vehicle not meeting the loading rate preset threshold in the transporting vehicle composition scheme can be even used as a virtual transport vehicle to be input into the transporting platform or used as an order receiving request to be submitted to a third party platform so as to match other goods transporting requests.

It will be appreciated that the virtual delivery vehicle may also set the corresponding special attribute based on the delivery time or route determined by the relevant attribute in the cargo delivery request it has matched. In the process of matching the virtual transportation vehicle with other cargo transportation requests, certain constraints of the other cargo transportation requests need to match or comply with corresponding special attributes of the virtual transportation vehicle. Such as: the transport time of the other freight transport request is the same as the previously determined transport time of the freight transport request; some or all of the transportation routes of other cargo transportation requests are the same as some or all of the previously determined transportation routes of the cargo transportation request, and so on.

Step S150 is: and simultaneously executing the cargo transportation request and other cargo transportation requests successfully matched with the residual carrying capacity.

After the other cargo transportation requests are successfully matched for the virtual transportation vehicle, the original cargo transportation request can be completed, and simultaneously, part or all of the travel of the other cargo transportation requests which are successfully matched can be completed. That is, the whole journey of the cargo transportation request can be divided into a plurality of partial journeys to complete.

Furthermore, the remaining carrying capacity of the transporting vehicle composition scheme corresponding to a cargo transportation request can be split into a plurality of virtual transporting vehicles to complete other cargo transportation requests, i.e. the number of combined packages can be unlimited.

Furthermore, the virtual transportation vehicle can also be used as one transportation vehicle in other transportation vehicle composition schemes.

Preferably, the request for freight transportation further includes transportation attributes, which may include the origin, destination, and storage requirements during transportation of the freight involved in the request for freight transportation. Storage requirements refer to the specific storage requirements required during transport from the point of origin to the point of destination. Such as: flowers need to be placed in a special nursing environment at regular intervals for nursing in the long-distance transportation process, and a plurality of storage warehouses need to be determined along the way for midway storage in the transportation process of the flowers. Likewise, special storage warehouses may be required at the point of origin and at the point of termination.

Therefore, the freight transportation match matching method 100 may further include steps S160-S170 as shown in fig. 6.

Wherein, step S160 is: determining a warehouse to depart and arrive upon completion of the cargo transportation request based on the transportation attributes.

In the transportation process from the starting point to the final point, each warehouse from which goods need to be taken out is the warehouse which finishes the departure of the goods transportation request, and each warehouse into which the goods need to be put is the warehouse which finishes the arrival of the goods transportation request.

Step S170 is: sending the departure and arrival warehouses to each carrier in the carrier constituent scheme.

The shipper of the carrier may periodically drive the transport vehicle with each warehouse as the end of a transport trip based on the received warehouse information. Each carrier's carrier may be made aware of the shipping tasks that they are going to accomplish.

While, for purposes of simplicity of explanation, the methodologies are shown and described as a series of acts, it is to be understood and appreciated that the methodologies are not limited by the order of acts, as some acts may, in accordance with one or more embodiments, occur in different orders and/or concurrently with other acts from that shown and described herein or not shown and described herein, as would be understood by one skilled in the art.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program when executed implementing the steps of the cargo transportation match matching method 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

According to another aspect of the invention, a matching device for matching freight transportation matching is further provided, and the matching device is used for determining a matching scheme between a transportation person and a transportation vehicle.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the cargo transportation match device 700 includes a memory 710 and a processor 720.

The memory 710 is used to store computer programs.

A processor 720 is coupled to the memory 710 for executing computer programs on the memory 710. The processor 720 is configured to: acquiring a cargo transportation request, wherein the cargo transportation request at least comprises cargo attributes; determining optional transportation vehicle composition schemes and optional transportation personnel composition schemes which meet the cargo attributes based on the cargo attributes, wherein each optional transportation vehicle composition scheme at least comprises one transportation vehicle, and each optional transportation personnel composition scheme at least comprises one transportation personnel; and determining a transport vehicle composition scheme and a transport personnel composition scheme from the optional transport vehicle composition scheme and the optional transport personnel composition scheme according to a minimum cost principle.

The alternative transport vehicle refers to a vehicle that meets the transport requirements of the cargo and should not be understood as a narrow sense truck. The transportation requirements of the goods may include weight requirements, size requirements, transportation time requirements, and the like, and correspondingly, satisfying the transportation requirements of the goods may refer to: the load capacity is larger than the cargo weight in the cargo attribute, the transport vehicle can be used for storing the cargo in the physical state in the cargo attribute, and the transport vehicle is in an idle state in the corresponding time range in the cargo transportation request. The optional transportation vehicle composition scheme refers to a combination of transportation vehicles for fulfilling transportation requirements of all the cargos of the cargo transportation request, and specifically may include a plurality of transportation vehicles of a plurality of storage types and a plurality of individual quantity types. When the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme comprises a plurality of transportation vehicles, the transportation requirements meeting the goods can correspond to the following steps: the total load capacity of all transport vehicles in the selectable transport vehicle composition scheme is greater than the cargo type in the cargo attribute, different types of cargo have transport vehicles meeting the corresponding storage condition, and the weight of different types of cargo is less than the load capacity of transport vehicles meeting the storage condition of the type of cargo.

It will be appreciated that one or more transport vehicles may be included in the alternative transport vehicle configuration and one or more transport persons may be included in the alternative transport person configuration.

It is to be appreciated that processor 720 may be utilized as a processor of a transport platform or a third party intermediary platform. The cargo transportation request may be a transportation order placed to a transportation platform having information for all transportation vehicles and transportation personnel, and the processor of the transportation platform may determine an optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and an optional transportation personnel composition scheme that meet the cargo property requirements based on the transportation vehicles and transportation personnel that are idle within the time range required to correspond to the cargo transportation request. Alternatively, the cargo transportation request may be a transportation order made to a third party intermediary platform, the processor of the third party intermediary platform may further receive order taking requests of each idle transportation vehicle and transportation person, and the third party intermediary platform matches the received cargo transportation request with the order taking requests of the idle transportation vehicle and transportation person to determine the optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and the optional transportation person composition scheme.

Specifically, the processor 720 may match the transportation vehicles and the transportation persons corresponding to the cargo attribute based on the related requirements of the cargo attribute to determine at least one transportation scheme capable of completing the cargo transportation request, wherein the transportation scheme includes at least one optional transportation vehicle composition scheme and one transportation person composition scheme.

The processor 720 may be further configured to: determining a desired transport vehicle composition scheme based on the physical attributes of the cargo; and determining an optional transport person composition scheme and an optional transport vehicle composition scheme in the transport vehicle composition schemes based on the transport time attribute.

To determine a carrier vehicle make-up solution, processor 720 may be configured to: determining the full load rate of each optional transport vehicle composition scheme when all goods corresponding to the goods transport request are transported; and determining the selectable transportation vehicle composition scheme with the maximum loading rate as the carrying transportation vehicle composition scheme.

The full load factor refers to the degree of full load of the load carried by the transport vehicle, and is the ratio of the actual loading force of the transport vehicle to the theoretical loading force. The full load rate of the alternative transportation vehicle composition scheme of the present invention refers to the ratio of the total actual loading force and the total theoretical loading force of all transportation vehicles in the alternative transportation vehicle composition scheme, and can be determined by using the aforementioned formula (1).

Determining the carrier transportation person composition scheme may be separately determined based on different matching forms of the transportation vehicle and the transportation person as described above.

Preferably, the optional transportation personnel composition scheme with the largest free degree in the optional transportation personnel composition schemes corresponding to the transportation vehicle composition scheme can be determined as the transportation personnel composition scheme, so as to avoid the influence of other driving schedule emergencies on the completion of the cargo transportation request. Specifically, to enable determination of a carrier transportation crew composition scenario when the transportation crew and the transportation vehicle are not fixedly mated, the processor 720 is further configured to: determining the idle degree of each optional transport personnel composition scheme; and determining the optional transport personnel composition scheme with the largest free degree as the transport carrier composition scheme.

In particular, processor 720 may be further configured to: responding to the situation that the full load rate of a transport vehicle composition scheme corresponding to a cargo transportation request does not reach a preset threshold value, and matching the residual carrying capacity of the transport vehicle composition scheme with other cargo transportation requests; and simultaneously executing the cargo transportation request and other cargo transportation requests successfully matched with the residual carrying capacity.

The remaining carrying capacity refers to the capacity of the transporting vehicle composition scheme of the remaining transporting goods after the completion of the cargo transporting request, and may refer to the remaining carrying capacity of the transporting vehicle composition scheme in terms of the above-mentioned different cargo attributes. For example, when the full load rate of the transporting vehicle composition scheme determined for a cargo transportation request does not reach the preset threshold, the remaining load capacity, the remaining storage space and the storage conditions of the transporting vehicle composition scheme can be used as a virtual transporting vehicle, the relevant attribute information of the transporting vehicle composition scheme is stored in the transporting platform or is used as an order receiving request to be submitted to a third party platform, and then the step of determining the transporting scheme for the cargo transportation request is continuously executed. The remaining capacity of each transport vehicle not meeting the loading rate preset threshold in the transporting vehicle composition scheme can be input into the transporting platform as a virtual transport vehicle or submitted to a processor of a third-party platform as an order receiving request so as to meet the transporting requirements of other goods transporting requests.

Thus, the processor 720 may also be configured to: determining a warehouse to depart and arrive upon completion of the cargo transportation request based on the transportation attributes; and sending the departure and arrival warehouses to each carrier in the carrier constituent scheme.
