Abstract

Abstract:City express delivery demand is characterized by large quantities, small parcel sizes, dense batch frequency, and timeliness. To meet demand and control costs and CO2 emissions from parcel delivery, a collaborative delivery mode using bus vehicles and a truck fleet is proposed. A model is built to optimize delivery schemes based on a bus–road mixed network and thus minimize the fixed cost, the delivery cost, the compensation cost for the emitted CO2, and the unpunctuality penalty cost. An ant-colony algorithm is designed to solve the model. Delivery schemes for the 97 demand sites in a Chinese city are calculated under collaborative mode and truck-only mode. The advantages of a collaborative mode are verified by comparing the two types of delivery schemes.

卡车车队和公共汽车运输车辆协同使用的包裹递送

摘要:城市快递需求具有数量大、包裹尺寸小、批次频次密集、时效性强等特点。为了满足快递需求，控制快递成本和二氧化碳排放，提出了一种公交车队和卡车车队协同配送的模式。建立了基于公交道路混合网络的配送方案优化模型，使固定成本、配送成本、二氧化碳排放补偿成本和不守时处罚成本最小。设计了一种蚁群算法来求解该模型。在协同模式和货车模式下，计算了中国某城市97个需求点的配送方案。通过对两种交付方案的比较，验证了协作模式的优势。
