(1) System FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a logistics system including a logistics control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The logistics system according to an embodiment of the present invention has a ground transportation route GR that uses roads, an underground transportation route UR that uses underground passages CT, and an aerial transportation route AR that uses the air as transportation routes for the cargo BG. Be prepared.

The ground transport route GR mainly uses land transport vehicles MT such as trucks. Note that as the transportation vehicle MT, a vehicle type other than a truck may be used, or a freight train using a railway or the like may be used.

The underground transport route UR uses, as an underground passage CT, a tunnel (also referred to as a tunnel or tunnel) that accommodates communication cables, power cables, etc., for example. A tunnel generally has an inner diameter that allows a person to stand and work therein, and a conveyance device for automatically conveying cargo is installed in the surplus space of the tunnel, for example, on the ceiling, floor, or side surface. As the conveyance device, for example, one that uses a belt conveyor, one that runs a cable rack using a rope pulling method, and one that uses an autonomously running conveyance robot are used. Further, when there is a branch or a step in the tunnel, the conveying device has a branching mechanism or a lifting mechanism to cope with the branch or step. As the tunnel construction method, both the cut-and-cover installation method and the shield installation method can be adopted. Note that, as the underground passage, in addition to tunnels, for example, subway or underground road tunnels, sewerage tunnels using Hume pipes, etc. can be used.

For example, a drone DR is used as a means of transportation for the aerial transport route AR. The drone DR flies autonomously, for example, by comparing route information given in advance with current position information obtained by a GPS (Global Positioning System).

By the way, in the distribution system configured as described above, delivery terminals DC1 and DC2 are installed at a plurality of locations serving as bases. As shown in FIG. 6, the delivery terminals DC1 and DC2 each include a cargo accumulation yard BY where cargo is brought in and accumulated, a truck yard GY where cargo is sent out to the above-mentioned ground transport route GR, and the underground transport route UR. It is equipped with an underground yard UY for sending cargo to the airport, and a drone yard AY for sending cargo to the above-mentioned aerial transport route AR.

Furthermore, the delivery terminals DC1 and DC2 are each provided with a distribution device LC for baggage BG, a camera 6 for capturing an image of baggage BG, and a logistics control device SV. The distribution device LC is installed between the cargo accumulation yard BY, the truck yard GY, the underground yard UY, and the drone yard AY, and distributes the cargo sent from the cargo accumulation yard BY to the truck yard GY and the underground yard UY. Or distribute and transport to drone yard AY.

The camera 6 is disposed on a conveyance path such as a belt conveyor that transports the luggage from the luggage collection yard BY to the distribution device LC, and captures an image of the entire luggage including the form attached to each luggage BG, and outputs the image data. Output to logistics control device SV. Note that if a wireless tag is used as the form, a wireless tag reader is used instead of the camera 6.

(2) Logistics control device SV

It is equipped with a storage medium consisting of a program storage area and a data storage area. Note that the configuration of the storage medium is not limited to the above configuration. In addition to middleware such as an OS (Operating System), the program storage area stores programs necessary for executing various control processes according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The data storage area is provided with an attribute/environment information storage section 21 and a default data storage section 22. The attribute/environmental information storage unit 21 is used to store weather information and traffic information obtained from the weather information site WS and the traffic information site TS, respectively. The default data storage unit is used to store default data for each condition used when calculating a priority score, which will be described later.

The control unit 1 includes a baggage attribute information acquisition unit 11, an environment information acquisition unit 12, a first transport route determination unit 13, and a priority score calculation function as various control functions for realizing an embodiment of the present invention. 14, a second conveyance route determination section 15, a conveyance route determination section 16, a conveyance history acquisition section 17, and a coefficient correction processing section 18. These control functions are realized by causing the hardware processor of the control unit 1 to execute programs stored in the program storage area of the storage unit 2.

The baggage attribute information acquisition unit 11 takes in image data of the baggage BG captured by the camera 6 via the input/output I/F 3, and uses the image data to obtain destination information and information indicating the degree of urgency of the baggage BG through image recognition processing. At the same time as the recognition, the external dimensions are detected, and the attribute/environment information storage section associates the recognized destination information, information representing the degree of urgency, and a value representing the detected external dimensions with the luggage ID as information representing the luggage attributes. 21.

In addition, each package is attached with a bar code containing package attribute information including the destination information of the package BG, information indicating the degree of urgency, size and weight, or a wireless tag that stores the above-mentioned package attribute information. If the baggage attribute information is provided, a barcode reader or a wireless tag reader may be used instead of the camera 6 to obtain the baggage attribute information.

The environmental information acquisition unit 12 acquires weather information and traffic information from the weather information site WS and traffic information site TS via the communication I/F 4 periodically or at any timing, and attributes the acquired weather information and traffic information. -Perform the process of storing the environmental information in the environmental information storage unit 21.

The first transport route determination unit 13 determines, for each piece of luggage, a value indicating the external dimensions included in the attribute information stored in the attribute/environmental information storage unit 21 as the upper limit of the size that can be transported by the underground transport route UR. A process is performed to determine whether or not the cargo can be transported via the underground transport route UR.

The priority score calculation unit 14 determines whether the cargo is included in the attribute information stored in the attribute/environment information storage unit 21 when the first transportation route determination unit 13 determines that the cargo can be transported by the underground transportation route UR. Processing is performed to calculate priority scores for each of the ground transportation route GR, underground transportation route UR, and aerial transportation route AR, based on information representing the degree of urgency to be sent, and the stored weather information and traffic information.

(Operation example)
Next, an example of the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be explained.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the procedure and content of the logistics control process executed by the logistics control device SV, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the priority score calculation process for each transport route.

(1) Transport control of large size/weight packages The delivery terminal DC1 is equipped with a package collection yard BY, as shown in FIG. The items are transported to the cargo collection yard BY and temporarily stored. Then, the accumulated luggage BG is sequentially transported to the distribution device LC by a transport mechanism such as a belt conveyor. On the conveyance path, the entire baggage BG and the form attached to the baggage BG are imaged by the camera 6, and the captured image data is sent to the physical distribution control device SV.

Under the control of the baggage attribute information acquisition unit 11, the physical distribution control device SV receives the captured image data sent from the camera 6 via the input/output I/F 3 in step S10. Then, from the received captured image data, the shape of the package BG is recognized through image recognition processing, etc., and the size (length x width x height) is calculated, as well as the package ID, destination information and the degree of urgency written on the form. The information representing the information is read using character recognition processing. Information indicating the degree of urgency indicates, for example, whether it is urgent or normal.

Note that the weight of the luggage BG can be detected by a weight sensor (not shown) provided on the conveyance path. Note that if the size and weight of the baggage BG are written on the form, the size and weight may be read from the form. The baggage attribute information acquisition unit 11 temporarily stores information representing the baggage ID, size and weight, destination, and degree of urgency of the baggage BG acquired as baggage attribute information in the attribute/environment information storage unit 21.

Next, under the control of the first transport route determination unit 13, the logistics control device SV reads the baggage attribute information for each baggage BG from the attribute/environment information storage unit 21 in step S11, and applies this baggage attribute information to the baggage attribute information. Based on the included information representing the size and weight, it is determined whether the size or weight is equal to or greater than a threshold value. If it is determined that the size or weight of the baggage BG is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the ground transport route GR is selected as the transport route for the baggage BG in step S12 under the control of the transport route determination unit 16, and step In S13, distribution control data according to the selection result is outputted from the input/output I/F 3 to the distribution device LC.

The distribution device LC delivers the cargo BG to the truck yard GY by, for example, switching the branch point according to the distribution control data. As a result, the baggage BG is loaded onto a truck according to the destination information at the truck yard GY, and is transported using the ground transportation route GR. That is, the baggage BG that is large in size or weight is unconditionally transported by the ground transportation route GR.

(2) Transport control of baggage with relatively small size/weight When it is determined in step S11 that the size or weight of baggage BG is less than the threshold value, the logistics control device SV controls the transport route of the baggage BG in step S14. Select all transport routes as candidates. That is, any of the ground transportation route GR, underground transportation route UR, and aerial transportation route AR can be selected.

(2-1) Acquisition of environmental information Under the control of the environmental information acquisition unit 12, the logistics control device SV periodically obtains the latest information from the weather information site WS and traffic information site TS via the network NW in step S15. Weather information and traffic information are acquired, and the acquired weather information and traffic information are stored in the attribute/environment information storage section 21.

Weather information includes, for example, weather (especially rain and snow), precipitation, wind speed, and various warnings and advisories. The traffic information includes, for example, traffic congestion status and congestion prediction information for each road, information on road closures, and information on recommended detours. Additionally, in the event of abnormal weather such as a typhoon or earthquake, or during periods when seasonal traffic congestion is expected, the acquisition frequency of weather information and traffic information may be changed as appropriate to ensure that the latest information is always acquired. .

(2-2) Calculation of priority score for each transport route Next, under the control of the priority score calculation unit 14, the distribution control device SV calculates the attribute/environment information storage unit 21 for each package BG in step S20. Priority scores Gs, Us, and As are calculated for each of the ground transportation route GR, underground transportation route UR, and aerial transportation route AR based on the baggage attribute information and environmental information stored in the storage system.

The priority scores Gs, Us, As are, for example, Gs = Gd × Gw × Gt × Gk
Us = Ud × Uw × Ut × Uk
As = Ad × Aw × At × Ak
It can be calculated by

Here, Gd, Ud, and Ad are basic values (default values) indicating the conveyance force set according to the inherent conveyance capacity of each conveyance route GR, UR, and AR, for example, Gd = 100, Ud. =60, Ad =20.

Gw, Uw, and Aw are coefficients set in the range of 1.0 to 0 according to weather conditions for each transportation route GR, UR, and AR, respectively.If weather conditions worsen, aerial transportation route AR and ground transportation route It is set to make it difficult for the transportation route GR to be selected, and instead to make it easier to select the underground transportation route UR. For example, the coefficients Gw and Aw corresponding to the ground transport route and the aerial transport route are variably set so that they become smaller values as the weather conditions worsen, and the coefficient Uw corresponding to the underground transport route is not affected by weather conditions. It is fixed at 1.0.

Gt, Ut, At are coefficients set in the range of 1.0 to 0 according to traffic conditions for each transportation route GR, UR, and AR, respectively, and when traffic conditions worsen due to congestion or road closures, etc. is variably set so that the ground transportation route GR is difficult to select, and the underground transportation route UR and the aerial transportation route AR are easily selected instead. For example, the coefficient Gt corresponding to the ground transport route is set to a smaller value as the traffic conditions worsen, and the coefficients Ut and At corresponding to the underground transport route and the aerial transport route are both unaffected by ground traffic conditions. Fixed to 1.0.

Gk, Uk, and Ak are coefficients that are respectively set for each transport route GR, UR, and AR depending on the urgency of delivery of the package BG, that is, whether it is urgent delivery or regular delivery.For example, for urgent delivery, the air transport route is Ak = 1.0, Gk = 0.7, and Uk = 0.5 are set so that AR is likely to be selected. On the other hand, for regular flights, for example, Ak = 0.3, Gk = 1.0, Uk = 0. Set to 7.

The priority score calculation unit 14 of the logistics control device SV sets each coefficient value for each package BG according to the package attributes, weather, and traffic conditions as described above, and then in step S25 sets each coefficient value for each transport route GR, UR. , AR, calculate the priority scores Gs, Us, As. That is, the priority score calculation unit 14 comprehensively reflects weather conditions, traffic conditions, and the degree of urgency of delivery of the package BG, based on the inherent transportation capacity of each transportation route GR, UR, and AR. A priority score is calculated.

Subsequently, under the control of the second transport route determination unit 15, the physical distribution control device SV, in step S17, based on the calculated priority scores Gs, Us, As for each transport route GR, UR, AR, The transport route for the baggage BG is selected from among the transport routes GR, UR, and AR. Then, under the control of the transport route determining unit 16, in step S17, distribution control data is outputted from the input/output I/F 3 to the distribution device LC so that the cargo BG is distributed to the selected transport route.

The distribution device LC switches and controls the branch points according to the distribution control signal sent from the distribution control device SV, so that the cargo BG is routed to the yards GY, UY, AY corresponding to the selected transport routes GR, UR, AR. will be transferred to.

At the truck yard GY, underground yard UY, and drone yard AY, the transferred cargo BG is transferred to a delivery terminal DC2 near the destination by a transport vehicle MT such as a truck, an underground transport mechanism such as a belt conveyor, or an aircraft DR such as a drone. will be transported towards.

(3) Correcting the coefficient value based on the transportation result Under the control of the transportation history acquisition unit 17, the distribution control device SV indicates the arrival time for each package BG from the distribution control device SV of the delivery terminal DC2, which is the transportation destination. The information is acquired via the communication I/F 4, and the required transportation time for the cargo is calculated based on the information representing the acquired arrival time, and the transportation history information storage unit (not shown) in the storage unit 2 Accumulate in.

Under the control of the coefficient correction processing section 18, the physical distribution control device SV transmits information to the transportation history information storage section every time the transportation of a predetermined amount of cargo is completed or every time a predetermined period (for example, one hour) elapses. The transport history information is read from the transport route GR, UR, and AR, and the average required transport time is calculated for each transport route GR, UR, and AR. Then, the calculated average value of the required transport time is compared with the reference value of the required transport time set according to the transport capacity of each transport route GR, UR, and AR, and the priority score calculation unit The coefficient value set in step 14 is corrected.

In this way, for example, if the degree of congestion of cargo transportation on a specific transportation route exceeds its transportation capacity as a result of selecting a transportation route based on the priority score, it is possible to reduce the frequency of selection of that transportation route. becomes. Note that instead of correcting the coefficient values, the default values stored in the default data storage section 22 may be corrected.

(action/effect)
As described above, in one embodiment, the physical distribution control device SV provided in the delivery terminals DC1 and DC2 determines the ground transportation route for each package BG based on its attribute information and the weather information and traffic information on the transportation route. Priority scores are calculated for GR, underground transportation route UR, and aerial transportation route AR, and a transportation route is selected based on each calculated priority score.

Therefore, it is possible to select an optimal transport route for each package BG by comprehensively considering the degree of urgency of its delivery and the weather and traffic conditions on the transport route to the destination. As a result, the transportation of cargo BG, which had previously relied only on the ground transportation route, can now be distributed to the underground transportation route UR and the aerial transportation route AR, taking into account the above conditions, thereby optimizing logistics. It becomes possible to aim for.

[Other embodiments]
(1) Machine learning may be applied as a means for selecting the optimal transport route. For example, a baggage feature is extracted from baggage attribute information, and a weather feature and a traffic feature are extracted from weather information and traffic information, respectively. Then, each of the extracted feature amounts is input to a learning model using, for example, a neural network, and the learning model is trained to select the optimal transportation route. Then, a transportation route is selected using the learned model after learning. In this way, it becomes possible to select an even more optimal transport route based on each feature amount.

(2) In addition, in one embodiment, a case has been explained in which a logistics control device SV is provided for each delivery terminal DC1, DC2, but for example, an integrated logistics control device that controls multiple delivery terminals is provided on the cloud, This integrated logistics control device may centrally control the selection of transport routes for packages at a plurality of delivery terminals.

(3) Furthermore, as environmental information, in addition to weather information and traffic information, we obtain calendar information such as the calendar and day of the week, and operational schedule information such as the number of trucks and drivers in operation, and reflect these in the priority score. You can do it like this.

(4) In addition to size and weight, baggage characteristics include information regarding baggage handling, such as ``requires refrigeration'' and ``do not allow vibration,'' and takes this information into account when selecting a transport route. You can. For example, for packages that require refrigeration, an underground transportation route is selected where the temperature is relatively low and there are few changes. In this way, there is no need to prepare a large-scale refrigeration room for transporting cargo that requires refrigeration.

(5) In addition, the conditions for selecting an aerial transport route using a drone are set to reflect the drone's battery capacity and flight route (for example, the flight route is set to avoid flying over residential areas). The transportable distance may also be taken into consideration.

(6) In addition, this invention also covers the structure of the underground transportation route, the installation location and configuration of the distribution control device, the procedure and content of the processing operation of the distribution control device, the installation location and configuration of the distribution device in the delivery terminal, etc. Various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

It goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. That is, in implementing the present invention, specific configurations depending on the embodiments may be adopted as appropriate.
