[0035] 7) If the recommended mailing method is selected, an order and a bill are generated. If another method is selected, the process returns to 6) and uses the selected method as the new recommended mailing method. A method that is slightly more expensive but faster than the recommended mailing method and a method that is cheaper but slightly slower are provided again.

[0036] If the pickup step in the transportation step has a pickup timeout, resulting in the pre-matched and selected transportation step being unable to be implemented, if there is a mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, it will be directly replaced; if there is no mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, the mailing method with the closest transportation time and price will be selected by the user, and the user module needs to operate the user module operation logic step 6) and step 7 again;

[0037] If there are problems with the transit station step, the transportation step between transit stations, the transportation to the post station step, and the delivery step in the transportation steps, if there is a mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, it will be directly replaced. If there is no mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, the transportation time selected by the user will be used as a basis to match a feasible mailing method.

[0038] The logistics company module exchanges information with the scheduling processing module in real time, including the transportation shifts between different transfer stations, the freight volume and time of each shift, as well as the allowed additional shifts, the freight volume and time of each shift. The transportation and logistics methods used by the logistics company module include but are not limited to: automobile transportation, train transportation, air transportation, inland waterway transportation and ocean shipping.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] The following is a brief description of the contents expressed in each figure in the specification of the present invention:

[0045] Figure 1 This is the principle block diagram of the logistics multimodal transport system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention, such as the shape, structure, relative position and connection relationship between the various components involved, the function and working principle of each part, the manufacturing process and operation method, etc., through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0047] The logistics multimodal transport system is a system that integrates different modes of transportation. For example, it can make full use of the current online car-hailing, taxis, errand running, ocean shipping, and private idle capacity. It can not only reduce logistics costs, but also help customers in need to increase transportation speed as much as possible and provide benefits for some users. At the same time, it can be merged into the online shopping platform to provide new logistics options for some users who want to get the goods quickly through unconventional logistics channels, or who are not in a hurry to get the goods and want to save logistics costs (if shipping is not included).

[0048] The entire system includes user module, logistics company module, long-distance errand module, regional errand module, post station delivery module, information receiving and sending module, scheduling processing module and manual monitoring and adjustment platform.

[0049] User module: used to allow users to choose the mailing method, generally refers to each user terminal, such as user mobile phones, tablets, computers and other devices with corresponding APP. After the user registers, he can make a logistics request on the platform. After that, the system will coordinate different logistics companies, individuals and organizations to complete a logistics transportation task, thereby meeting the different logistics transportation needs of different users.

[0050] Logistics company module: used to provide feasible transportation methods between transfer stations for the scheduling processing module to choose. It generally refers to each logistics company registered in the system, such as SF Express, JD.com, STO and other similar companies. It can also be a company with ocean shipping capabilities, so as to conveniently expand the transportation network outward and realize overseas transportation. The logistics company module interacts with the scheduling processing module in real time, including the transportation schedules between different transfer stations, the cargo volume and time of each schedule, and the schedules allowed to be increased, the cargo volume and time of each schedule. The transportation logistics methods used by the logistics company module include but are not limited to: automobile transportation, train transportation, air transportation, inland waterway transportation and ocean shipping.

[0051] Long-distance errand module: used to select the mode of transportation between transfer stations and / or between regions for the registered hitchhiking vehicles for selection by the scheduling processing module. It generally refers to registered individual users, such as online car-hailing, taxis, individuals with cars, freight vehicles, etc. Vehicle information needs to be noted when registering to avoid overweight and inability to load logistics items into the vehicle. Vehicles will regularly issue tasks, such as transporting from a certain place in Hefei to a certain place in Wuhu at a certain time, and will be equipped with corresponding remuneration. If a private van in Wuhu needs to be emptied and returned to Wuhu after delivering goods to Hefei, the order can be taken to generate income while reducing logistics costs. In the later stage, individuals can also make appointments for tasks in advance. For example, if someone drives on a business trip between Hefei and Wuhu, he can provide the time for transportation and let the platform assign tasks according to the vehicle capacity and business trip time. "Bringing goods" back and forth twice can not only provide transportation efficiency, but also generate income for business travelers. The long-distance errand running module enables registered hitchhikers to exchange information with the scheduling processing module in real time. The scheduling processing module presets transportation request tasks between different outlets, and registered hitchhikers that meet the requirements make appointments to accept orders to complete the transportation request tasks. The transportation request tasks include the location and time of the transportation order acceptance outlets, the location and time of the delivery outlets, and the volume and gravity information of the transported logistics items. The outlets in the transportation request tasks include express delivery stations and logistics transfer stations.

[0052] Regional errand module: used to select inter-regional transportation methods for registered errand service personnel for selection by the dispatch processing module. The errand service personnel can be anyone, using any legal means of transportation to complete short-distance transportation tasks. Generally, the tasks can be food delivery riders, online car-hailing, taxis, local errand runners, or even part-time students, using public transportation to carry out interval "backpack" transportation. This module realizes the efficient completion of the last section of the road and avoids a lot of time wasted at the transfer station. The regional errand module enables registered errand runners to interact with the dispatch processing module in real time. The dispatch processing module presets short-distance delivery request tasks between different locations. Registered errand runners who meet the requirements make appointments to accept orders to complete short-distance delivery request tasks. The short-distance delivery request tasks include the delivery pickup location and time, the delivery location and time, and the volume and gravity information of the transported logistics items. The pickup location includes the outlets, logistics transfer stations, express delivery stations, and user receiving addresses in the transportation request tasks. The delivery location includes the outlets, logistics transfer stations, and user receiving addresses in the transportation request tasks.

[0053] The post delivery module is used to record the information of logistics items stored in express delivery stations, as well as the delivery information of couriers; it generally refers to the final terminal of the current logistics node, Cainiao Post Station and couriers. This module is based on the expansion of the existing terminal service system, including Cainiao Post Station, delivery personnel, etc., and can also include shops and sales rooms willing to register as needed, expand the points that can be delivered, and enrich the needs of users for terminal collection and pickup. The post delivery module interacts with the scheduling processing module in real time, including the time for door-to-door pickup and delivery, the time taken for door-to-door pickup and delivery at different distances, and the storage data of logistics items that have been delivered.

[0054] Information receiving and sending module: It exchanges information with the manual monitoring and adjustment platform, scheduling and processing module, user module, logistics company module, long-distance errand module, regional errand module, and post station delivery module. It uses the communication network to aggregate all information and create files for each order (logistics item). After the file is created, there will be related personnel involved in the transportation (including some or all of the user module, logistics company module, long-distance errand module, regional errand module, and post station delivery module). During the transportation of logistics items, the logistics information of each logistics item will be shared in a timely manner with the modules involved in the transportation of the logistics items, so that users and each position can understand the progress of logistics in a timely manner.

[0055] Scheduling and processing module: used to match some or all of the user modules, logistics company modules, long-distance errand modules, regional errand modules, and post station delivery modules that participate in logistics work according to the information of logistics items. Through reasonable algorithms, some or all of the user modules, logistics company modules, long-distance errand modules, regional errand modules, and post station delivery modules are linked. During the transportation of logistics items, these modules will be connected in series to comprehensively utilize various resources, improve logistics capabilities and efficiency, and reduce logistics costs in a targeted manner, or improve logistics efficiency by increasing costs, and use network resources and personal registered users to build new flexible jobs.

[0056] Manual monitoring and adjustment platform: The scheduling processing module is monitored through automated data processing and manual monitoring. When any module times out, fails, or is not completed during the work process, the data is recorded and processed. The processed results are executed by the scheduling processing module and fed back to each module. The platform is manually operated and has a high degree of freedom. For example, it can communicate with users and logistics personnel through telephone or network communication to change or adjust the logistics direction in a timely manner. For certain logistics items that need to be expedited, tasks can be customized, commissions can be changed, and people in need can exchange money for time, etc., all of which can be adjusted manually using the manual monitoring and adjustment platform.

[0057] The scheduling and processing module is the core of this system, which can automatically complete the transportation of logistics items. The transportation steps are arranged according to the transportation order, including: the pickup step, the transportation to the transfer station step, the transportation step between transfer stations, the transportation to the post station step, and the dispatch step. For transportation with a shorter distance, there may be no transportation step between transfer stations. This is generally inter-city transportation. For routes with longer transportation distances, especially international transportation, it may be necessary to go through multiple transportation steps between transfer stations, which depends on the needs.

[0058] The dispatch processing module is the core of this system. It builds the required routes through existing data and combined with the published temporary tasks. When planning the route, it arranges the connection according to the pickup location and delivery location selected by the user module. Through the participation and transmission of different modules, the logistics transportation is finally completed in the most efficient or economical way.

[0059] When the dispatch processing module processes data, it is first initiated by the user module. The user module sets the requirements through operation and selects the logistics item process, which generally includes: the user in the user module processes and selects the corresponding route to place an order, a logistics company in the logistics company module accepts the order to complete part of the logistics work, a ride-sharing car in the long-distance errand module accepts the order to complete part of the logistics work, a errand service staff in the regional errand module accepts the order to complete part of the logistics work, and a courier station or courier in the post station delivery module accepts the order to complete part of the logistics work. The transportation steps are completed through the cooperation between multiple modules;

[0060] Logistics transportation includes the following steps:

[0061] Pickup step selection: User module, regional errand module or post delivery module. Users can choose to deliver the package to a certain site or Cainiao post station, or have the courier staff pick it up at home. Or, if the delivery needs to be expedited, the errand staff can arrange the pickup immediately (especially suitable for night time);

[0062] The step of transporting to the transfer station is to choose from: user module, regional errand module or post delivery module. This step is to transport the logistics items to the transfer station after picking up the items. This transfer station is the distribution center for conventional logistics. Currently, the courier will temporarily store the items at the post station after receiving them, and then send them to the transfer station. This system can save this step and allow the regional errand module or post delivery module to complete the task expeditiously by paying a fee. You can also not pay the fee and let the post delivery module complete the task according to the normal process. You can also transport the items directly to the logistics transfer station by yourself, which can save costs and improve the efficiency of logistics item transportation.

[0063] Choice of transportation steps between transfer stations: logistics company module or long-distance errand module. Currently, transportation between transfer stations is completed by the logistics company's transportation equipment. Even if air transportation is used, it is also handled according to the procedures for delivery of many logistics items. The logistics time will be increased due to transfer and other procedures. Therefore, private tasks can be set up to allow registered personnel of the long-distance errand module to complete the transportation between transfer stations. This part of the transportation capacity may be unstable. It can be carried out by setting up bounty tasks in advance and using the intervals of the unified departure time of logistics vehicles. For example, logistics vehicles usually depart at night, but some items are more urgent, so inter-city transportation can be designed to depart at noon or in the morning, so that registered personnel of the long-distance errand module who are along the way can take orders for delivery, which can make it possible to reach neighboring cities within a few hours.

[0064] The step of transporting to the post station is selected: logistics company module, long-distance errand module or regional errand module. This step is the process of transporting logistics items from the transit station to the post station. Generally, it is also a scheduled pickup, that is, the conventional logistics company module. This step can choose to add the long-distance errand module or the regional errand module. The long-distance errand module can directly connect the transportation step selection between transit stations in series, and then directly transport the items to the post station designated by the user, or after the logistics company transports them, the regional errand module personnel will accept the order and let them pick up the items for expedited delivery to improve logistics efficiency.

[0065] Selection of delivery steps: regional errand module or station delivery module is the final delivery link, which is usually completed by the station delivery module. After arriving at the station, the relevant couriers of the station will deliver the parcels, and the delivery personnel have their own delivery rules. If expedited delivery is required, the regional errand module can be selected, or even directly transported to the station step. The regional errand module will pick up the parcels directly from the transfer station and transport them to the users, which greatly increases logistics efficiency.

[0066] The scheduling processing module calculates the subsequent procedures that can be connected in sequence according to the pickup location and time, and finally connects to multiple feasible mailing methods at the delivery location. Among them, a logistics company in the logistics company module, a hitchhiking car in the long-distance errand module, an errand service personnel in the regional errand module, a courier station or courier in the post station delivery module will be selected. Part or all of them will be selected. Each transfer is a node. Connecting the nodes that correspond in time and can be connected can form a feasible mailing method. The logistics company module is generally relatively stable. If expedited delivery is required, or if large items are not in a hurry and the freight needs to be reduced, the corresponding mode can be used for saving. For example, if expedited delivery is required, a hitchhiking car can be chosen (possibly several items can be transported at a time). If large items are not available, you can also choose a hitchhiking car that is idle, or transport during the transportation trough.

[0067] The time consumption of the feasible mailing methods obtained is divided into several time consumption levels. For example, if it is delivered on the same day or the next day, it can be divided into levels with an interval of hours or several hours. If it takes several days to transport, it can be divided into levels with an interval of days. The feasible mailing methods in each time consumption level are sorted according to the required amount. Generally, 1-3 mailing methods are reserved for each level;

[0068] The available mailing methods are charged at several levels, for example, a level is set at 5 or 10 yuan intervals, and a level can be set at tens of yuan for urgent requests. The available mailing methods in each level are sorted according to the time required. Generally, 1-3 mailing methods can be reserved for each level.

[0069] Among them, the feasible mailing method with the lowest required amount in the shortest time is recommended as the speed preferred mode;

[0070] Among the several billing levels with the lowest charges, the feasible mailing method with the shortest time consumption is recommended as the economic priority mode;

[0071] Among them, the feasible mailing method with the lowest required amount among the remaining tiers and the feasible mailing method with the shortest delivery time among the remaining billing tiers are recommended as cost-effective models. Other algorithms, such as weighted accumulation algorithm, can also be used here to obtain the most cost-effective mailing method for recommendation.

[0072] Based on the above system modules, the user module operation logic is:

[0073] 1) Fill in the shipping information, including the information, size, volume, and insurance information of the items being shipped. Insurance can be used to claim for loss or damage, as well as for delayed transportation. The size and volume of the items are related to the shipping fee. Some users may not know how to fill in the information, but can use the information to fill in the type of items. For example, if you choose to mail clothes, you can choose whether it is children's clothes or adult clothes. After selecting the type and number of clothes, you can basically determine the size and volume of the items, which is convenient for users to operate;

[0074] 2) Select the delivery mode, including door-to-door pickup mode, express delivery pickup mode, and self-delivery mode. The door-to-door pickup mode is to let the regular courier pick up the package at the door. This kind of pickup usually takes a long time and the punctuality rate is average. The express delivery pickup mode is to use expedited pickup, such as asking the processing area errand module to pick up the package immediately, or even directly transport it to the transfer station or the long-distance errand module staff, which greatly increases the transportation efficiency. The self-delivery mode is that the staff directly transports the logistics items to the Cainiao Station, the long-distance errand module or the transfer station of the logistics company module;

[0075] User module, logistics company module, long-distance errand running module, regional errand running module, post station delivery module, information sending and receiving module, scheduling processing module and manual monitoring and adjustment platform.

[0076] 3) Supplement information according to the delivery mode; fill in the door-to-door pickup address and time for the door-to-door pickup mode, fill in the express delivery platform and order number for the express delivery pickup mode, and fill in the selected delivery station and delivery time for the self-delivery mode. The delivery platform and order number can achieve seamless connection between the delivery platform and logistics, and also enable users to arrange mailing by themselves, so that they can receive online shopping items faster or cheaper. The delivery platform and order number contain information such as the pickup address, which can be identified after reading;

[0077] 4) Fill in the receiving address. If you have a takeaway platform and order number, it can be automatically generated, or you can record the frequently used address without having to enter it manually every time;

[0078] 5) Select the mailing efficiency module, including speed priority mode, economy priority mode, and cost-effectiveness mode;

[0079] 6) Determine the recommended mailing method, provide a method that is slightly more expensive but faster than the recommended mailing method, and a method that is cheaper but slightly slower than the recommended mailing method, and provide the mailing arrival time for each mailing method;

[0080] 7) If the recommended mailing method is selected, an order and a bill are generated. If another method is selected, the process returns to 6) and the selected method is used as the new recommended mailing method. A slightly more expensive but faster method as well as a cheaper but slightly slower method are provided again until the user selects a mode and arranges to pay the fee. The order operation is basically completed, and the user only needs to wait for the logistics to complete the transportation.

[0081] If the pickup step in the transportation step has a pickup timeout, resulting in the pre-matched and selected transportation step being unable to be implemented, if there is a mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, it will be directly replaced. If there is no mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, the mailing method with the closest transportation time and price will be provided for the user to determine. The user module needs to operate the user module operation logic step 6) and step 7 again. If the user fails to operate, a manual telephone call can be made for communication;

[0082] If there are problems in the transit station step, the transportation step between transit stations, the transportation to the post station step, and the delivery step in the transportation process, if there is a mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, it will be directly replaced. If there is no mailing method with a similar transportation time and price, the transportation time selected by the user will be used as the basis to match a feasible mailing method to protect the rights and interests of the user. For staff who are overdue, fees or "points" can be deducted in accordance with internal regulations.

[0083] The entire system can simply and efficiently integrate social resources, improve transportation efficiency, increase employment opportunities, and provide additional income for people who "pass by". It is conducive to social development and makes the transportation industry more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0084] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
