[0019]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a vehicle allocation plan planning support device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0020]
First, terms used in the present embodiment will be described.
(1) The “vehicle allocation plan” refers to the vehicle used, using information on the cargo to be transported and delivered (loading destination, destination, weight, time designation, etc.) and information on available vehicles (operating time, cruiser, etc.). And a method of planning the luggage carried by each vehicle, the order of transportation, the estimated arrival time, and the like.
[0021]
(2) "Priority" means that, when making a dispatch plan, if there are not enough vehicles for luggage or if there are too few luggage for vehicles, extra luggage or extra vehicles will be generated. However, at this time, it refers to information added to specify which vehicle and which luggage should be given priority (which vehicle and which luggage should be left).
[0022]
(3) The “evaluation point” is a concept introduced into a vehicle allocation plan, and is a value obtained by the transport company and the shipper company mutually evaluating each other. In the present embodiment, the evaluation point is used as an index of the priority of the vehicle to be used and the package to be transported and delivered. However, the evaluation points do not have to be the values obtained by mutually evaluating each other. For example, an evaluation point may be given by a third party, or the evaluation point may be automatically calculated in the system as described later.
[0023]
(4) “Co-transport” refers to a method of stacking packages from a plurality of shippers and transporting them.
[0024]
(5) "Contract information" indicates the package information to be transported based on the package information issued by the shipping company to the vehicle request system, and the package company receives the package information when the contract is made.
[0025]
(6) "Vehicle request information" refers to vehicle information obtained by the shipper company when a vehicle to be transported is determined based on the vehicle request information issued by the shipper company to the vehicle request system.
[0026]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a system using a vehicle allocation plan planning support device according to one of the embodiments of the present invention. This system is operated by the shared use center 100.
[0027]
The plurality of shippers 200a to 200c and the plurality of transport companies 300a to 300c can use the shared use center 100 by using the communication line and use the result of the vehicle allocation plan drafted by the shared use center 100. In the shared use center 100, a shared use system is provided. The shared use system includes an operation management system that manages the operation of the vehicle, a delivery management system that manages the delivery of packages and makes a plan for dispatching, And a vehicle request system for matching vehicle information and vehicle information.

Referring to the figure, the shared use center accepts baggage information (vehicle request information) transmitted from each shipper and package request information transmitted from a shipping company until a predetermined deadline time comes, and stores the received information in a database. Do.
[0030]
At a predetermined deadline, a vehicle allocation plan is drafted. In the planning of the vehicle allocation plan, matching is performed between the package information from each shipper and the request information from the shipping company. The result of the matching is transmitted to each shipper and each shipping company through a communication line such as the Internet.
[0031]
In the present embodiment, when there is a large amount of luggage in an available vehicle and it is necessary to leave one of the luggage, priority is given to the luggage so that the luggage to be preferentially planned and the luggage can be left. Luggage can be decided intentionally. Similarly, if there are many vehicles that can be used for luggage and it is necessary to leave one of the vehicles, assigning a priority to the vehicle will allow the vehicle to be preferentially planned and the vehicle to be left over Can be decided. In the present embodiment, these priorities are determined based on evaluation points that are evaluations relating to the operations of the shipper and the shipping company.
[0032]
Further, when a plurality of shippers and a plurality of transport companies are involved in drafting a vehicle allocation plan, the shipper evaluates the transport company and the transport company mutually evaluates the shipper, and the evaluation points are used as priorities. As a result, it is possible to eliminate unintended unfairness of the shipper and the transportation company, and to make an effective dispatch plan that does not depend on chance.
[0033]
That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to preferentially close a package of a shipper with a high evaluation point or to preferentially close a vehicle of a transportation company with a high evaluation point.

[0047]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining information transmitted between the shipper 200, the shipping company 300, and the shared use center 100.
[0048]
In this figure, the joint use center 100 includes a cargo request information database (DB), a vehicle request information database, a cargo request evaluation information database, a vehicle request evaluation information database, and a planning result database. Are databases built in the database server 116.
[0049]
First, the vehicle request information from the transport company 300 and the vehicle request information from the shipper 200 are stored in the vehicle information server and the vehicle information server, respectively, by the vehicle request system in the shared use center 100 (1).
[0050]
At a predetermined time, a vehicle allocation plan planning algorithm using the evaluation points is used, and a vehicle allocation plan is prepared (2). The planning result is stored in the planning result database (3). At the time of planning a vehicle allocation plan, the load evaluation information database and the evaluation points accumulated in the vehicle evaluation information database are considered. The evaluation of the contractor is not always made at the time of planning. Evaluations made in the past are accumulated in the unloading evaluation information database and the vehicle evaluation information database, and these past evaluations are referred to when planning.
[0051]
The contract information is sent from the planning result database to the shipping company 300, and the contract information is sent to the shipper 200 (4).
[0052]
The transport company 300 and the shipper 200 evaluate each other after transporting the package. That is, the transport company 300 transmits the evaluation of the shipper of the carried package to the shared use center 100 as the demand evaluation information, and the shipper 200 transmits the evaluation of the transport company 300 to the shared use center 100 as the vehicle evaluation information ( 5).
[0053]
Based on the sent evaluation information, the evaluation points are updated and reflected using the evaluation point calculation formula (vehicle request evaluation information update and cargo request evaluation information update). From the next time, a vehicle allocation plan is drafted based on the updated evaluation points (6).
[0054]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process performed in the shared use center 100.
[0055]
First, until the vehicle allocation planning start time comes, the vehicle information and the vehicle information are received and stored in the database (1).
[0056]
When the dispatching plan start time has come, a dispatching plan is drafted (2), and the result is stored (3).
[0057]
Then, it outputs the contracted information and the requested contract information to the trader (4). Thereafter, the request information and the vehicle evaluation information are received (5), and if the information is not already evaluated (if it is new information and the vehicle evaluation information), a new evaluation point is calculated. Then, the load request evaluation information and the vehicle request evaluation information are stored (6).
[0058]
In addition, although the vehicle request evaluation information and the load request evaluation information are received, if the information has already been used for the evaluation, the information is not considered. This is to prevent a single contract from being evaluated a plurality of times.
[0059]
In addition, as the information included in the cargo request evaluation information and the vehicle request evaluation information, for example, a three-level evaluation of good / normal / bad is considered. Based on this, the shared use center 100 calculates an evaluation point using the following items.
[0060]
VALUE: Evaluation point
GOOD: Number of “good” evaluations
BAD: Number of "bad" evaluations
W1: weighting coefficient (for example, 1)
W2: weighting coefficient (for example, -1)
Evaluation point calculation formula
VALUE = GOOD × W1 + BAD × W2
That is, the shipper scores a good / normal / bad transportation company, taking into account whether the vehicle has arrived on time, whether the baggage has been damaged, and the like. On the other hand, the shipping company performs a good / normal / bad evaluation in consideration of whether the shipper has prepared the package on time.
[0061]
In the present embodiment, such a three-level evaluation of good / normal / bad is performed. However, a plurality of items (for example, work attitude, politeness of work, etc.) are evaluated, and the plurality of items are evaluated. The evaluation score may be calculated based on Further, the evaluation may be performed on a scale of 100 points. Also, when calculating the evaluation points automatically, the evaluation may be performed in a stepwise manner as described above, the evaluation may be divided into a plurality of items, or the evaluation may be performed on a 100-point scale. Good.
[0062]
Further, as described above, the evaluation point may be automatically scored by the shared use center 100 based on a difference between the actual delivery time and the scheduled delivery time.
[0063]
Next, a specific process performed in the vehicle allocation planning process (2) of FIG. 7 will be described. Here, the term “delivery” is a concept that includes, in addition to delivery to a delivery destination, collection of goods from the delivery destination and transportation of packages from the delivery destination to the delivery destination.
[0064]
The following three types of tables are used in the vehicle allocation planning process.
(1) Vehicle information including priority of each vehicle used, tunnel, and maximum load capacity
(2) Package table including priority of each package to be delivered, destination, weight, volume, delivery time constraint, and delivery vehicle constraint
(3) Cost table including required time between each delivery base and delivery destination
The data output by the vehicle allocation planning is of the following two types.
[0065]
(1) A dispatch plan file that stores the delivery order, estimated arrival time at each destination, and estimated departure time for each vehicle
(2) Non-planned baggage list storing packages excluded from planning
The delivery cost in vehicle allocation planning is the sum of the following (1) and (2).
[0066]
(1) Running time cost, which is the total running time of each vehicle
(2) Penalty cost when the delivery time constraint for each package and the return time constraint to the delivery base are not satisfied
As an example of the penalty cost, it is considered that w1 × T when arriving T minutes earlier than the delivery time constraint and w2 × T when arriving later by T (w1 and w2 are both weighting coefficients).
[0067]
The vehicle allocation planning process includes an initial plan creation process (FIG. 8) and a plan update process (FIG. 9 or FIG. 10).
[0068]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the initial plan creation process.
Referring to the figure, the following processing is performed in each step.
[0069]
Step 1: From the luggage information, select one luggage that has not been inserted in the plan and has the highest luggage priority (priority is determined based on the evaluation points) (referred to as luggage A), and the luggage has been inserted. (Step 1-2). If there is no package that has not been inserted, the process ends (step 1-1: end condition).
[0070]
Step 2: Of the vehicles stored in the vehicle information,
(3) The delivery vehicle constraint condition of the package A is satisfied.
[0071]
(4) Even if the load A is added, the maximum load capacity of the vehicle P is not exceeded.
For vehicles satisfying the above two conditions, the increase in the delivery cost when the delivery of the package A is inserted into the delivery route is calculated. The delivery of the package A is inserted in the order of the vehicles P and the delivery in which the increase in the delivery cost is the smallest. At this time, if there are a plurality of vehicles with the smallest increase in the delivery cost, the vehicle with the highest priority is selected. If there is no vehicle that satisfies the two conditions (3) and (4), the package is excluded from the planning target and stored in the non-planning package list.
[0072]
Step 3: Return to step 1.
As a specific example, in step 2, if the current delivery route of the vehicle P is 0 (delivery base) → 1 (delivery destination of package 1) → 2 (delivery destination of package 2) → 0 (delivery base), 0 → A For each of → 1 → 2 → 0, 0 → 1 → A → 2 → 0, 0 → 1 → 2 → A → 0, an increase in the delivery cost is determined.
[0073]
For example, in the case of 0 → A → 1 → 2 → 0, the amount of increase in the delivery cost is (the required time of 0 → A) + (the required time of A → 1) − (the required time of 0 → 1) + (1 The increase amount of the delivery time constraint penalty) + (the increase amount of the delivery time constraint penalty of 2) + (the increase amount of the return time penalty of 0). This evaluation is performed for all vehicles that satisfy the above two conditions (3) and (4).
[0074]
In step 2, even if there is a vehicle that satisfies the two conditions (3) and (4), even if the minimum value of the increase in the delivery cost exceeds a predetermined value, the package is excluded from the planning target, and the non-planning target list May be stored.
[0075]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the plan update processing (1). The following processing is performed in each step shown in FIG.
[0076]
Step 1: A plan obtained by applying any one of the following operations (5) and (6) to the current plan (initial solution) X, satisfying the conditions (3) and (4), and Among those not selected as plans, a plan Y that minimizes the delivery cost is obtained.
[0077]
(5) Movement of luggage (change the delivery order of one luggage or change the vehicle that delivers the luggage)
(6) Exchange of luggage (swapping the delivery of two luggage)
Step 2: If the determined delivery cost of the plan Y is the smallest (delivery cost is the smallest) among the previous plans, it is stored in the dispatch plan table as the optimal dispatch plan.
[0078]
Step 3: When the end condition is satisfied, a vehicle allocation plan table is output. In other cases, the obtained plan Y is set as the current plan X, and the process returns to step 1.
[0079]
The following specific example is considered as an example of the movement of the luggage in step 1 (moving luggage A).
[0080]
(Before moving) Vehicle 1: 0 → 1 → A → 0, Vehicle 2: 0 → 2 → 0
(After moving) Vehicle 1: 0 → 1 → 0, Vehicle 2: 0 → A → 2 → 0
The following specific example can be considered as an example of the exchange of luggage in step 1 (exchange of luggage A and luggage B).
[0081]
(Before moving) Vehicle 1: 0 → 1 → A → 0, Vehicle 2: 0 → B → 2 → 0
(After moving) Vehicle 1: 0 → 1 → B → 0, Vehicle 2: 0 → A → 2 → 0
Examples of the ending condition of step 3 include ending the process when the plan update process is executed a predetermined number of times, or ending when the optimal vehicle allocation plan is not updated even if the plan update process is executed a predetermined number of times continuously. Conceivable.
[0082]
When the plan update process (1) is employed, the priority of the package is considered only when the initial plan is created. Therefore, the solution is updated in the plan update process (1), and even if the vehicle has a margin, the packages excluded in the initial plan creation will not be subject to delivery again.
[0083]
When the initial plan created in the initial plan creation process is updated in the plan update process, a plan to improve the loading efficiency of the vehicle is found, and the package that could not be delivered at the time of the initial plan creation process may be able to be delivered There is. In order to cope with such a case, the plan update processing may be realized as the following plan update processing (2) (however, the processing time increases).
[0084]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a modification (plan updating process (2)) of the flowchart of FIG.
[0085]
The following processing is performed in each step of this flowchart.
Step 1: A plan obtained by applying one of the following operations (5) and (6) to the current plan X, which satisfies the conditions (3) and (4) and is selected as a plan in the past A plan that minimizes the delivery cost among those that have not been set is determined, and is set as the next plan Y.
[0086]
(5) Movement of luggage (change the delivery order of one luggage or change the vehicle that delivers the luggage)
(6) Exchange of luggage (swapping the delivery of two luggage)
Step 2: If the determined delivery cost of the plan Y is the smallest (delivery cost is the smallest) among the plans so far, it is stored in the dispatch plan table as an optimal dispatch plan.
[0087]
Step 3: From among the packages stored in the non-planned package list, a package that has not been scanned and has the highest priority (hereinafter referred to as package B) is selected. If there is no unscanned package, the process proceeds to step 6.
[0088]
Step 4: When the delivery of the package B is inserted in the plan Y, if there is a vehicle that satisfies the conditions (3) and (4), the plan in which the delivery of the package B is inserted into the vehicle is defined as the plan Y, and the optimal delivery plan Is stored in the delivery plan table, and the package B is deleted from the non-planned package list. If there is no vehicle satisfying the conditions (3) and (4), it is determined that the baggage B has been scanned.
[0089]
Step 5: Return to step 2.
Step 6: When the end condition is satisfied, a vehicle allocation plan table is output. In other cases, the obtained plan Y is set as the current plan X, and the process returns to step 1.
[0090]
That is, the processing in step 1 of the plan update processing (2) is the same as the processing in step 1 of the plan update processing (1).
[0091]
In Steps 2 to 5, it is examined whether or not the package which is out of the plan at the time of creating the initial plan can be delivered. At that time, it is examined whether the package can be delivered from the high priority package. Steps 2 to 5 form a loop in order to determine whether all non-planned packages can be incorporated into the delivery.
[0092]
After examining whether or not all the non-planned packages can be incorporated into the delivery in steps 2 to 5, in step 6, the termination condition (whether or not the plan update process has been performed a predetermined number of times) is determined, and the process ends. If the condition is not satisfied, the process is repeated from step 1.
[0093]
As described above, the vehicle allocation planning process is performed by any combination of the initial plan creation process + plan update process (1) or the initial plan creation process + plan update process (2).
