While the majority of research in the agri-food sector has concentrated on optimizing logistics costs and meeting demand by focusing on minimizing the last mile, the complexity of the first mile in the agricultural supply chain has been less explored. Farmers must efficiently manage the harvesting process and the transportation of harvested produce to consolidation centers to ensure the delivery of high-quality products. This paper addresses this research gap by introducing a mixed-integer programming model that leverages vehicle routing problem concepts to optimize the logistics processes involved in transporting harvested products from various fields to a central depot. The primary objective is to minimize total logistics costs associated with visiting different fields during a pick-up round using multiple vehicles. The model has been applied to a case study involving an agricultural cooperative in Greece as part of the European BBTWINS project, which aims to enhance agri-food value chain digitalization for improved resource efficiency. The results demonstrate that organizing the first mile of the agri-food supply chain with a cooled vehicle for pick-up rounds can reduce logistics costs by up to 40% compared to the current practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100684,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 200426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667305324001005/pdfft?md5=e0c6a4a25c889be39eb6364bf1524305&pid=1-s2.0-S2667305324001005-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precise load forecasting provides the best utilization of energy resources and increases sustainability. Dynamic changes of several connected factors, such as temporal and geographical variability, pose challenges to accurate load prediction. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the smart grid can enhance the performance of the forecasting process by capturing these changes. This study investigated load forecasting tasks on four different datasets. Several preprocessing and augmentation techniques are applied to increase the data quality. An attention-based 1D-CNN-GRU model is proposed to capture the temporal patterns from the time-series data, and the hyperparameters of the model are optimized using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm that also accelerates the convergence and results in an efficient training session. Empirical evaluations highlight that the proposed model substantially minimizes the loss, reflecting the ability to make accurate predictions. It obtains MAE values of 0.12, 0.8, 16.48, and 82.64 for the four datasets. Moreover, the explainable AI (XAI) technique is applied using Shapley Additive explanations (SHAP) to interpret the model prediction, providing the feature ranking based on their prediction score. Moreover, this study utilizes federated learning, enables collaborative training, maintains the privacy of the grid data, and secures the process comprehensively. The aggregation mechanism in federated learning is modified using pruning-based methods that reduce the parameters and computational cost, resulting in a more efficient framework. Integrating all these approaches provides valuable insights for developing a load forecasting model and outlines potential contributions in the smart grid domain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100684,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 200422"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667305324000966/pdfft?md5=6bef1c0253b216dd874359b6617d6b66&pid=1-s2.0-S2667305324000966-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
