To address these challenges, the port logistics\u0000sector is rapidly adopting advanced technologies such as big data, Internet of\u0000Things, and AI. However, despite these efforts, solving several issues related\u0000to productivity, environment, and safety in the port logistics sector requires\u0000collaboration among various stakeholders. In this study, we introduce an\u0000AI-based port logistics metaverse framework (PLMF) that facilitates\u0000communication, data sharing, and decision-making among diverse stakeholders in\u0000port logistics. The developed PLMF includes 11 AI-based metaverse content\u0000modules related to productivity, environment, and safety, enabling the\u0000monitoring, simulation, and decision making of real port logistics processes.\u0000Examples of these modules include the prediction of expected time of arrival,\u0000dynamic port operation planning, monitoring and prediction of ship fuel\u0000consumption and port equipment emissions, and detection and monitoring of\u0000hazardous ship routes and accidents between workers and port equipment. We\u0000conducted a case study using historical data from Busan Port to analyze the\u0000effectiveness of the PLMF. By predicting the expected arrival time of ships\u0000within the PLMF and optimizing port operations accordingly, we observed that\u0000the framework could generate additional direct revenue of approximately 7.3\u0000million dollars annually, along with a 79% improvement in ship punctuality,\u0000resulting in certain environmental benefits for the port. These findings\u0000indicate that PLMF not only provides a platform for various stakeholders in\u0000port logistics to participate and collaborate but also significantly enhances\u0000the accuracy and sustainability of decision-making in port logistics through\u0000AI-based simulations.","PeriodicalId":501310,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Other Computer Science","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to systematically and comprehensively address\u0000these issues, it is essential to have a comprehensive and profound\u0000understanding of 'data circulation'. The traditional analysis method tends to proceed based on the traditional\u0000circulation model of commodities, that is, tangible objects, which has some\u0000defects and shortcomings, and tends to be a formalized approach, which is faced\u0000numerous challenges in practice. This paper analyzes the circulation of data\u0000with a philosophical approach, obtains the new explication of data and\u0000executing entity, and provides a new definition of the concepts of data\u0000utilization and data key stakeholders (objects). At the same time, it puts\u0000forward the idea of ``data alienation'', and constructs a new interpretive\u0000framework of ``data circulation''. Based on the framework of this interpretation, it is clearly proposed that\u0000``data alienation'' is the core of ``data circulation'', benefit distribution\u0000is the driving force, and legal compliance is the foundation, and further\u0000discussed the three modes of ``data circulation''. It further discusses the\u0000three modes of ``data circulation''. It is pointed out that ``data\u0000circulation'' is different from traditional ``commodity circulation''. To\u0000achieve ``data circulation'',a comprehensive information infrastructure needs\u0000to be established. from a theoretical point of view, it lays a solid foundation\u0000for the development of ``data circulation''.","PeriodicalId":501310,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Other Computer Science","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141785191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
