Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of distribution service facilities, and in particular to a method for estimating the vacancy rate of intelligent terminal distribution service facilities. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the changes in people's lifestyles and consumption habits, the business volume of letters and newspapers has declined year by year, and the online purchasing power has continued to rise, resulting in a sharp growth in parcels and express delivery; at the same time, traditional letter and parcel boxes cannot accommodate parcels and express items due to their limited space, resulting in their extremely low utilization rate; based on this situation, express boxes and parcel cabinets have emerged in the market, which have alleviated the delivery pressure to a certain extent, but have also exposed some problems, such as the large number of delivery facilities, chaotic and disorderly placement, arbitrary delivery behavior, and many safety hazards; therefore, research on express delivery terminal delivery is urgent and important.

[0003] At present, the research on express terminal delivery in the existing technology mainly focuses on the site selection and layout of regional outlets. The terminal delivery service that is not accurate to independent individual communities will lead to the continued existence of the "last mile" problem of delivery, and the actual demand for delivery to users cannot be solved; therefore, intelligent terminal delivery service facilities have begun to emerge as a new generation of comprehensive intelligent delivery terminals in residential areas. Its main goal is to provide flexible, intelligent and multi-functional postal services to solve the mismatch between users and postmen in time and space; intelligent terminal delivery service facilities mainly include intelligent letter and parcel boxes and postal service rooms; among them, intelligent letter and parcel boxes are usually composed of one or several groups of cabinets, equipped with display screens and several grids of different sizes, so that they can adapt to parcels or letters of different sizes and types; postal service rooms refer to special places for sending and receiving express mail, parcels, etc. in residential communities, which make up for the spatial limitations of intelligent letter and parcel boxes and provide users with a more convenient area environment.

[0004] At present, more and more cities are gradually exploring the model of intelligent terminal service system. In the process of its implementation, how to reasonably plan and build is an important issue. For residential communities, the differences in population size, residents' consumption habits and behavioral characteristics will lead to different postal needs, and other factors such as population migration and commercial development may affect the changes in express delivery business volume. The service capacity of facilities needs to be in line with the actual situation of the community. If a unified standard is used to build intelligent terminal distribution service facilities, there will be too few or too many intelligent terminal distribution service facilities. If too few are built, it will cause the problem of not being able to meet peak demand. If too many are built, it is easy to have problems such as high vacancy rate, large land occupation and high operating costs. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the vacancy rate of intelligent terminal distribution service facilities so as to reasonably build intelligent terminal distribution service facilities.

[0005] When studying the vacancy rate of intelligent terminal delivery service facilities, the existing technology ignores the impact of user behavior factors on the usage of intelligent terminal delivery service facilities, such as user pickup frequency, package arrival frequency, etc., which may cause the vacancy rate of intelligent terminal delivery service facilities to be too low or too high, thereby leading to unreasonable configuration and operation of smart letter and parcel boxes and postal service rooms, and the service capacity of intelligent terminal delivery service facilities is inconsistent with actual needs.

[0107] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a newly built community in J city is taken as an example. The newly built community has 5 buildings with 15 floors (4 households per floor), and it is expected to be fully occupied by about 75*4=300 households. The current total population x of the newly built community is about 1200. According to the statistical bulletin on the development of the postal industry, the annual per capita mail volume in J city is 5.72 pieces, the number of newspapers and periodicals subscribed per 100 people is 9.51, and the annual per capita express delivery usage is 188.6 pieces. It is further estimated that the average number of express deliveries per person per day is θ=188.6 / 365≈0.5, and the number of express deliveries taken out by users every day is 600 pieces. The delivery behavior of couriers and users in a newly built community in J city is investigated and analyzed by distributing questionnaires, and the probability distribution function of the courier delivering express within one day and the probability distribution function of the user taking express within one day are obtained, such as Figure 2 As shown;

[0108] According to the construction standard of intelligent letter and parcel boxes in residential areas, the total number of grids of intelligent letter and parcel boxes is set, and the grid openings are set to four types: large grid openings, medium grid openings, small grid openings, and ultra-small grid openings; the number of large grid openings is set to ≥ 5% of the total number of grid openings, the number of medium grid openings is set to ≥ 20% of the total number of grid openings, the number of small grid openings is set to ≥ 25% of the total number of grid openings, and the rest are ultra-small grid openings; in this embodiment, a standard intelligent letter and parcel box group is used, including 1 main cabinet, 4 sub-1 cabinets, 3 sub-2 cabinets, and a total of about 191 grid openings; the specific grid opening settings are shown in Table 1; the stacking capacity of the shelves in the postal service room is set to 300 standard-size express (approximately M-size parcels), and the conversion coefficients of L, S, SS-size express and standard-size express are 1.5, 0.25, and 0.1, respectively;

[0109] Table 1 Standard intelligent letter and parcel box group opening settings

[0110]

[0111] Combined with the questionnaire and on-site express point survey analysis, the average probability β of users purchasing k-size express delivery is set k , then the average probability of a user purchasing an L-size express delivery is β L = 0.1, the average probability of a user purchasing an M-size package β M =0.25, the average probability of users purchasing S-size express delivery β S =0.35, the average probability of users purchasing SS-size express delivery β SS =0.3; the proportion of goods balance on the previous day was 5%, that is, the total amount of goods that had not been taken away on the previous day was 5% of the total amount of goods; among them, the balance of postal service rooms accounted for 30% of the total balance, and the balance of smart letter boxes accounted for 70% of the total balance, among which the proportions of L, M, S and SS size express were 8%, 23%, 34.5% and 34.5% respectively.

[0112] Reference Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the cumulative number of parcels received at 7:00 is the balance of the previous day. The cumulative number of parcels received during the day is relatively stable, maintaining a continuous upward trend, and slowing down to 0 after 18:00; the cumulative number of users picking up parcels increases rapidly at 16:00; refer to Figure 5 As shown, the express delivery storage volume of the intelligent terminal delivery service facility increases continuously from 7:00 to 16:00, gradually reaches a peak, and gradually decreases from 16:00 to 21:00.

[0113] renew The express delivery status is calculated, and the usage status of the smart letter and parcel box slots and the postal service room at time T is further updated to obtain the usage status of the smart letter and parcel box slots of different sizes and the usage status of the postal service room, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown by Figure 6It can be seen that, in general, the various sizes of slots in the smart parcel box gradually become saturated with the increase in demand, and the time when all size slots become saturated is about 16:00; Figure 7 It can be seen that the peak period of express delivery items in the postal service room is at 16:00; at the same time, the usage pattern of smart letter and parcel boxes and postal service rooms can increase the terminal delivery capacity, and the postal service room can be used to place items after the smart letter and parcel boxes are saturated.

[0114] according to The update results of these two express status quantities can obtain the vacancy rate of each size of the intelligent letter and parcel box and the vacancy rate of the postal service room, such as Figure 8 , Fig. 9 shown; reference Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the vacancy rates of the various sizes of the smart mailboxes in the T time period are similar, with high vacancy rates in the first and last two periods. However, the larger the size of the compartment, the longer the low vacancy rate period is maintained, and the vacancy rate is 0 at about 16:00, which also shows that the supply and demand of the mailboxes in this community are well matched. Fig. 9 As shown, the postal service room reaches the minimum vacancy rate at 16:00, but its minimum vacancy rate is almost close to 50%. It can be seen that the overall vacancy rate of the postal service room in this community is relatively high, the stacking capacity is not fully utilized, and there is some waste of postal service room resources.

[0115] The present invention evaluates service efficiency based on the usage and vacancy rate of the intelligent terminal delivery service system, and adjusts service strategies and resource allocation based on their changes. The service level of intelligent terminal delivery facilities is closely related to the system parameters of the facilities themselves, as well as to postal behavior, social economy, etc. Therefore, when using the proposed estimation model, key parameters need to be calibrated. In practical applications, the parameters of similar communities or urban areas with similar economic levels can also be framed and estimated.

[0116] In order to adapt to the analysis of the required construction volume after large-scale intelligent terminal service facilities enter urban residential areas, the present invention establishes a model to estimate the storage volume estimation model and the vacancy rate estimation model of intelligent terminal distribution service facilities, theoretically analyzes the matching between the construction of intelligent letter and parcel boxes and postal service rooms and the actual postal demand, and evaluates the service capacity of the intelligent terminal service facilities by solving the vacancy rate estimation model, providing strong data support for the operation and management of the postal service industry, providing on-site support for the construction of intelligent terminal distribution service facilities, and providing a reference basis for the reasonable planning of the number and layout of intelligent letter and parcel boxes and postal service rooms, thereby achieving the purpose of allocating intelligent terminal distribution service facilities according to actual needs; in addition, during the operation of the intelligent terminal distribution facilities, the business hours and staffing of the service facilities can be flexibly adjusted according to the estimation results; in the future, it can also be expanded to other terminal distribution fields, such as take-out, cold chain supply, etc.

[0117] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
