Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material distribution service scheduling management systems, and particularly to a material distribution service scheduling management system that coordinates drones and vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The continuous intensification of the modern unmanned trend has made the application of drones in the military field become increasingly important, and they can undertake various types of tasks such as reconnaissance and detection, tracking and positioning, precise guidance, electromagnetic interference, and material delivery. The accurate and reliable execution of drone tasks depends on a reasonable and efficient management and control mechanism, that is, according to various constraint conditions such as the environmental information perceived by the drone, task requirements, and on-board task loads, through comprehensive analysis of task elements, optimizing the scheduling and coordination of various resources, determining the strategies for drone task perception, network communication, routing transmission, and trajectory planning, to ensure that the drone efficiently completes tasks in the best way.

[0003] With the development of electronic information technology and the improvement of the informatization and intelligence level of drones, the task perception execution environment and mode of drones have undergone profound changes, especially the wide-area high-dynamics of the task execution environment and the complex diversification of task requirements. Driven by the goals of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" and "contactless distribution", drone and vehicle distribution, as a new type of material distribution method, has entered the military field following the trend of the unmanned era and has received high attention from the country. This system can support both military integrated communication, sensing, and computing collaborative intelligent combat platforms and civilian logistics distribution that coordinates drones and vehicles and air-land resource coordination.

[0004] CN114677087A, a method for collaborative distribution of vehicle combination drones, predicts the logistics order prediction information within a future period through a sales prediction method based on a meta-learning framework, which is used to plan the logistics scheduling plan and logistics distribution plan. For the logistics scheduling plan, the present invention determines the distribution plan according to the height difference between different path nodes and uses a delay time penalty function to optimize the logistics scheduling plan. At the same time, the present invention also uses a drone vehicle path optimization model to optimize the logistics distribution path and optimizes the drone vehicle path optimization model through a linear relaxation optimization algorithm. The scheme is as follows: obtaining the logistics order prediction information; planning the logistics scheduling plan and logistics distribution path based on the logistics order prediction information; optimizing the logistics scheduling plan and logistics distribution path; and performing logistics distribution according to the optimized logistics scheduling plan and logistics distribution path.

[0005] The CN114677087A patent focuses on proposing a formulaic solution for logistics distribution, staying only at the theoretical formula derivation and not considering the practical value and effectiveness of its solution. In contrast, this patent focuses on proposing a logistics distribution management system that applies the proposed algorithm, combined with real traffic topology using front-end and back-end technologies, to actual logistics, and compares the practical value obtained from the operation results of the CMDSS algorithm proposed in this patent with those of other related algorithms to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.

[0031] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. The functions of the present invention are novel: The scheduling management system proposed by the present invention not only realizes material management, but also realizes the scheduling and path planning management of drones and vehicle materials. This management system can support both military integrated communication, sensing and computing collaborative intelligent combat platforms and civilian logistics distribution with collaborative drones and vehicles and air-land resource collaboration.

[0033] 2. Adapt to scenarios with a large number of customers: Figure 7 From left to right are the relationships between the ratio of the total flight distance of drones to the total driving distance of vehicles, the total driving distance of vehicles, and the total flight distance of drones under the conditions of different numbers of users. It can be seen from these three comparison pictures that when the number of users is 20, 30, and 50 respectively, the ratio of the driving distance of drones and vehicles of the CMDSS algorithm is higher than that of the reinforcement learning algorithm, and the driving distance of vehicles of the CMDSS algorithm is less than that of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm and the greedy algorithm. And as the number of customers continues to increase, these two gaps become more obvious. Therefore, considering factors such as cost, when the number of customers is large, the number of vehicles used is small, and the flight routes of drones are reasonable, the CMDSS algorithm shows the best performance, indicating that our algorithm is more adaptable to scenarios with a large number of customers.

[0034] 3. Applicable to the maximum payloads of different drones: Figure 8 From left to right are the relationships between the ratio of the total flight distance of drones to the total driving distance of vehicles, the total driving distance of vehicles, and the total flight distance of drones under the conditions of different maximum payloads of drones. It can be seen from these three line graph comparison pictures that the ratio of the flight distance of drones to the driving distance of vehicles of the CMDSS algorithm and the greedy algorithm is close under the conditions of different maximum payloads of drones, and both are greater than the ratio of the flight distance of drones to the driving distance of vehicles of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm, while the driving distance of vehicles is slightly lower than that of the greedy algorithm. Therefore, the CMDSS algorithm is applicable to the maximum payloads of various drones.

[0035] 4. The effectiveness of the CMDSS algorithm: Figure 9From left to right are the relationships among the ratio of the total flight distance of the drone to the total driving distance of the vehicle, the total driving distance of the vehicle, and the total flight distance of the drone under the customer's requirements. Since the light-demand packages of the transported materials account for a relatively large proportion in the total amount, when the customer's demand is between 1.0 kg and 3.0 kg, the total flight distance of the drone and the total driving distance of the vehicle show a faster downward trend; the driving distance of the vehicle is also significantly lower than that of the other two algorithms. This proves the effectiveness of the CMDSS algorithm under small payload conditions.

[0036] 5. Advantages of the system in actual traffic: Figure 13 In a, b, and c, they represent the comparison diagrams of two algorithms with different quantities in different regions, which are the comparison diagrams of the actual traffic topologies of 13 data nodes in Hangzhou, 17 data nodes in Chengdu, and 25 data nodes in Hangzhou, respectively. Taking Figure a as an example, from left to right are the number of vehicles, the number of drones, the total driving distance of the vehicle and the drone, the sum of the driving vehicles, and the comparison of the driving costs using the CMDSS and DRL algorithms. It can be seen from the figure that under the same nodes, the CMDSS algorithm has more advantages than DRL in terms of the number of input devices, driving distance, driving time, and driving cost, and the CMDSS algorithm is more advantageous.

[0037] The innovation points of the present invention are mainly in the algorithm operation module, the algorithm performance comparison module, and the algorithm comparison visualization module. Among them, the CMDSS algorithm used in the algorithm operation module is obtained by improving the greedy algorithm; through the algorithm performance comparison module, the performance of the CMDSS algorithm is compared with that of the DRL algorithm and the greedy algorithm to demonstrate the superiority of the CMDSS algorithm; and through the front-end and back-end technologies, the CMDSS algorithm is applied to the material distribution service scheduling system of the cooperation between the drone and the vehicle, and combined with the real traffic topology for simulation and quantitative comparison to demonstrate the practical value of the system in actual traffic.
