Logistics traffic scheduling is a key job for logistics activity, but there are some weak points, e.g. local optimum, premature convergence and slow convergence while we employ the traditional genetic algorithm to analyze that problem. Therefore, we need to improve the genetic algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem. This paper builds up a mathematical model for the traffic scheduling problems...
The supervision and administration of grains circulation is national key R&D program. As a booming technology, RFID gives full play to its advantages in this area. Especially the integration with wireless communication devices and sensors, RFID can fulfill the task from grains' purchasing, conveying, storing to product transaction. Considering the circulation's complication, it is stringent to...
Logistics is divided into macroscopic logistics (also called social logistics) and microscopic logistics (also called enterprise logistics), according to microscope pattern and evolution line of TRIZ theory, this paper divides logistics into macroscopic logistics (social logistics), mesoscopic logistics (enterprise logistics) and microscopic logistics (individual logistics). we concentrate on microscopic...
Container transportation plays an important role in modern transportation owing to its characteristics of high efficiency, convenience and safety. The informationization of container transportation management has become a necessary development of the container transportation. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a useful technology to improve container transportation efficiency, safety and visibility...
This paper deals with geofencing: an innovative technology, based on telematics and satellite positioning. Geofencing enables remote monitoring of geographic areas surrounded by a virtual fence (geofence), and automatic detections when tracked mobile objects enter or exit these areas. The paper presents fundamental concepts of geofencing and some applications based on this technique, in the transport...
In automated seaport container terminals, like the CTA in Hamburg or the ECT in Rotterdam, automated guided vehicles (AGV) are used to transport containers from quayside to yard and vice versa. The assignment of AGVs to transportation jobs, the so-called AGV dispatching, is one of the key problems in quayside transportation logistics. The impact of storage block assignment on AGV dispatching has been...
Reviewing data based on time series, there is a certain co-relationship between the development of city roads and freight increase in Beijing. But the marginal added amount by both of them can't show the same tendency as the gross amount did, this consequence would be a tough bottleneck for Beijing city logistic industry growing. To deal with this problem, we bring out the new idea to build up the...
Starting with analyzing the significance of the express freight information platform, this paper proposes a structural model of the express freight system. Also, an express freight information platform model based on RFID and Web technology is built, and the modelpsilas operation flow, data flow, a standard technical solution toward the efficient communication among different userpsilas information...
Applications in areas such as logistics, cargo delivery, and collective transport involve the management of fleets of vehicles that are expected to travel along known routes according to schedules. There is a fundamental need by the infrastructure surrounding the vehicles to know the actual status of the vehicles. Since the vehicles deviate from their schedules due to road construction, accidents,...
With the recent rapid development of information and wireless communication technologies, there is an increasing use of real time tracking in the freight transport practices. However our understanding of the impact of such technologies on the supply chain structure and logistics performance has been very limited. Through an in-depth examination of a case example in UKpsilas FMCG industry, this research...
