Description

System for Distribution Management for Store Using Satellite Positioning Network and Distribution Management for Store Method Thereof}

The present invention relates to a logistics distribution network system and a logistics distribution method using satellite location tracking, and more particularly, to secure an optimal transportation vehicle for cargo transportation using a satellite location tracking apparatus using satellites, and to enable efficient cargo transportation. The present invention relates to a distribution network system and a distribution method using satellite location tracking.

The company's logistics costs are on the rise due to the recent surge in oil prices and the increase in cargo volume. However, there is a problem that an increase in logistics costs does not lead to an increase in sales prices. To improve this, companies have prepared and implemented measures to reduce logistics costs.

For example, the recent expansion of third party logistics reflects this social demand. The company is making efforts to quantify and improve logistics costs with the introduction of TMS (Transport Management System) and LBS (Location Based Service) along with the expansion of third party logistics. The introduction of such a dispatching system and a control system has highlighted the advantages of computerizing manual work, but freight vehicles and shippers are not actually benefiting from increased transport revenues or reduced logistics costs. In addition, in order to reduce logistics costs, the shipper asks a third-party logistics partner, which is a logistics company, but relatively high transportation costs remain a problem for non-regular cargo, which accounts for a large portion of the total transportation volume.

Nowadays, a large number of vehicles are networking through agents using radio communication. When using such communication, the distribution network is managed by personal opinion because the integrated analysis is difficult, and the transportation analysis is also made by occasional reporting of the vehicle, which makes it difficult to easily grasp the current distribution flow. In addition, wireless communication can freely talk between specific users, but there is a problem in that a call with a third user is limited. Due to such a problem, borrowers operating irregular routes have a inconvenience in that they need to simultaneously use a plurality of radio communications to obtain information on quantity. For this reason, since the borrowers must be provided with a plurality of radio communication, there is a problem that the burden of the borrowers is increased due to the increase in costs. As such, when a plurality of radio communication is used, there is a problem that a safety accident may occur due to a decrease in concentration of driving when driving by using a traffic accident or a radio communication due to the confusion of the vehicle owner.

In addition, a systematic distribution network is not formed, and thus, when a vehicle owner returns to an empty vehicle, moves to transport only a small amount of cargo, or carries a lot of transportation vehicles traveling on the same path with less cargo, resource and manpower consumption is inefficient. In the case of increased tolerance operation, environmental pollution such as carbon dioxide emissions also increases.

Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above problems, by using a satellite positioning device using a satellite to secure the optimal transport vehicle for cargo, logistics distribution network using satellite location tracking capable of efficient cargo transportation The purpose is to provide a system and logistics distribution method.

As another category, an object of the present invention is a first step in which a control center receives and registers information of a transport vehicle from a borrower of a transport vehicle carrying a cargo; A second step in which the control station receives a cargo delivery request from the shipper; A third step of the control station searching for an adjacent transport vehicle based on the location of the cargo using a satellite location tracking device; A fourth step of the control station transmitting information necessary for freight transportation to one of the selected transport vehicles; And a fifth step of transporting the selected transportation vehicle. The logistics vehicle may be achieved by a logistics distribution method using satellite positioning.

In this case, the first step may include a step 1-1 in which the transport vehicle reception management unit of the control station receives information of the transport vehicle from the owner of the transport vehicle; And a first and second steps of the transport vehicle reception management unit storing the transport vehicle information in the transporter information database.

In addition, the second step may include a step 2-1 in which the reception unit of the control station receives the cargo information from the shipper; And a step 2-2 of the reception unit storing the cargo information in the ordering database.

In addition, the third step may include a step 3-1 of the satellite position tracking apparatus using the satellite to search for the location of the transport vehicle; And a third step of displaying the location of the transport vehicle searched through the satellite on the vehicle location display unit.

In addition, the fourth step, the fourth step of transmitting the basic information of the cargo to determine the participation in the service to the adjacent transport vehicle based on the location of the cargo at the control station; Step 4-2 of bidding a service on the transport vehicle based on the basic information of the cargo; Step 4-3 of selecting one of the transport vehicles bid at the control center; And 4-4 transmitting the detailed information of the cargo to the selected transport vehicle.

The method may further include steps 4-5 of transmitting information of the selected transport vehicle to the shipper.

The method may further include a sixth step of collecting and transporting additional cargo on the movement route.

In addition, the sixth step may include a sixth step in which the control station compares the movement route of the selected transport vehicle with the received additional cargo information by using the satellite location tracking device; Step 6-2, the control station transmitting the information of the additional cargo to the selected transport vehicle; And a step 6-3 in which the selected transport vehicle collects and transports additional freight.

In addition, the control station further includes a seventh step of transmitting the payment amount deposited from the shipper to the selected transport vehicle.

In addition, in the first step, the settlement price is deposited by the shipper in the settlement place.

According to the present invention, a single database is integrated at each control station, and the location of each vehicle is real-time by using a satellite positioning device using satellites, thereby reducing the waiting time of the transportation vehicle, and the shipper is optimal. The cargo can be requested by the freight vehicle that satisfies the conditions of the effective distribution is possible.
