[0002] In the container transportation industry, the matching of supply and demand for two-way transportation has always been a difficult problem. Due to information asymmetry and resource dispersion, it is difficult for the supply and demand sides to cooperate efficiently, resulting in a large number of transportation tools returning empty after completing one-way tasks, causing serious waste of resources and increased costs.

[0003] Related technologies cannot respond in real time to dynamic changes during transportation (such as new orders, traffic congestion, etc.), and lack comprehensive consideration of factors such as geographical distance and container type adaptation, resulting in low efficiency of supply and demand matching and still requiring a large amount of manual intervention in actual implementation.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a method for matching supply and demand in container transportation with multi-tenant collaboration. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In an alternative embodiment, the method further includes: uploading the matching result to the tenant;

[0011] Receiving a selection instruction from the tenant to determine the implemented matching result.

[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the method further includes: if the carrier does not match a second transportation demand during the completion of the first transportation demand, continuously monitoring for new transportation demands; when it is detected that a new transportation demand meets the target matching condition, performing real-time matching to obtain a new valid matching result;

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect corresponding relationship between two parties, may also indicate an association relationship between two parties, or may be a relationship such as indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0033] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing the current situation of supply-demand matching in container transportation according to an exemplary embodiment, which shows the two-way transportation process of import and export in traditional container transportation. In the import transportation process, container loaded with heavy goods is transported from the terminal to the factory. After unloading, the empty container returns to the yard and is temporarily stored in the yard. In the export process, the empty container goes from the yard to the factory, and after loading, the heavy goods are transported from the factory to the terminal. The import and export processes operate independently, lacking cross-process resource coordination. The empty containers returning to the yard at the import end and the empty containers being transferred to the factory at the export end both result in ineffective empty running. If the import unloading point and the export loading point are adjacent, but due to lack of information sharing, repeated container transfer occurs, resulting in a high empty running rate. The transportation route is fixed as from the terminal to the factory to the yard and from the yard to the factory to the terminal, without dynamic matching according to the tenant's needs, resulting in low supply-demand matching efficiency.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for supply-demand matching in container transportation is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions. And although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0035] In this embodiment, a method for supply-demand matching in container transportation is provided. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the method for supply-demand matching in container transportation according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0036] Step S201, extracting a number of transport demands with the same carrier identification and container type attributes from a supply and demand database; the supply and demand database includes transport demand information of multiple tenants and carrying capacity information of carriers.

[0037] First, it is necessary to ensure that the matching transport requirements are consistent in terms of carrier identification (such as shipping company code) and container type attributes (such as 40-foot refrigerated container) to avoid scheduling failures due to inconsistent carrier authority or mismatched container types. For example, carrier A does not have the authority to operate carrier B's containers, or refrigerated goods are mistakenly matched with ordinary containers.

[0038] Specifically, transportation demand refers to the container transportation task request put forward by the tenant, including the complete transportation link requirements from picking up the container to returning the container. The transportation demand information describes the specific attribute data of the container transportation task, and the carrying capacity information describes the resource capacity data of the carrier to perform the transportation demand task. Both are stored in the supply and demand database in a structured form.

[0039] Optionally, before executing step S201 in the embodiment of the present application, the following steps may be performed to build a supply and demand database:

[0040] Step a11, collect the transportation demand information of multiple tenants and the carrier's carrying capacity information; the transportation demand information includes the tenant ID, transportation type identification, loading and unloading address, pick-up / return container address and loading and unloading time; the carrying capacity information includes the carrier identification, transportation tool identification, container type attributes, dynamic location data and transportation time data; the loading and unloading time includes the loading start time and the unloading completion time; the loading and unloading address includes the loading address and the unloading address.

[0041] Collect specific data of container transport tasks proposed by multiple tenants. Among them, the tenant ID is used to identify the tenant who proposed the demand (such as the cargo owner A); the transport type identifier is used to distinguish between import, export, transit and other transport types; the loading address is the specific address where the goods are loaded (such as a factory in a certain place); the unloading address is the specific address where the goods are unloaded (such as a warehouse in a certain place); the pick-up / return address is the specific address where the container is picked up / returned (such as a port); the loading start time is the time when the loading is planned to start; and the unloading completion time is the time when the unloading is planned to be completed.

[0042] Collect resource capacity data from the carrier to perform transportation tasks. Among them, the carrier identification is used to uniquely identify the carrier (such as shipping company A); the transportation tool identification is used to uniquely identify the specific transportation tool (such as a certain numbered ship); the container type attribute is used to describe the type and specification of the container (such as a 20-foot general container, a 40-foot refrigerated container); the dynamic location data is the real-time location information of the transportation tool (such as GPS coordinates); the transportation timeliness data is the timeliness information such as the planned arrival time, loading and unloading efficiency, and transportation speed of the transportation tool.

[0043] Step a12: Build a supply-demand database for multi-tenant transportation based on transportation demand information and carrying capacity information.

[0044] The supply-demand database includes a transportation demand table and a carrying capacity table. The fields of the transportation demand table include tenant ID, transportation type identifier, loading and unloading addresses (unloading address, loading address), container delivery / return address, loading and unloading times (starting loading time, completion unloading time). The fields of the carrying capacity table include carrier identifier, transportation vehicle identifier, container type attribute, dynamic location data, transportation timeliness data.

[0045] Building the supply-demand database provides input data for subsequent matching algorithms, ensuring the accuracy and feasibility of matching results.

[0046] Step S202: If the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand among several transportation demands meet the target matching conditions, generate a matching result for the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand; the matching result of the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand is used to request the carrier to sequentially complete the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand.

[0047] Among numerous transportation demands, if two transportation demands (the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand) meet the preset target matching conditions, then generate a matching result for these two transportation demands. This matching result is used to require the carrier to first complete the first transportation demand in sequence and then complete the second transportation demand. The target matching conditions are used to determine whether two transportation demands can be matched, including time matching (e.g., the time difference between the completion unloading time of the first transportation demand and the starting loading time of the second transportation demand should meet certain requirements), and location matching (e.g., the distance between the unloading address of the first transportation demand and the loading address of the second transportation demand should be less than a certain threshold).

[0048] When two transportation demands meet the target matching conditions, combine them together to form a matching result. This matching result includes relevant information of the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand, such as the order, time, location, etc. of the transportation tasks.

[0049] Send the matching result to the carrier. The carrier, based on this result, first executes the task of the first transportation demand, such as transporting goods from the starting point to the unloading address; after completing the first transportation demand, then executes the task of the second transportation demand, such as transporting goods from the loading address to the destination. Through matching and sequential completion, the empty driving mileage can be reduced and the transportation efficiency can be improved.

[0050] Step S203: The target matching conditions include that the completion unloading time of the first transportation demand matches the starting loading time of the second transportation demand, and the unloading address of the first transportation demand matches the loading address of the second transportation demand.

[0051] The unloading completion time of the first transportation demand matches the loading start time of the second transportation demand, which means that after the transportation vehicle completes the unloading of the goods in the first transportation demand, it can start the loading work of the goods in the second transportation demand within a reasonable time interval. The unloading address of the first transportation demand and the loading address of the second transportation demand are relatively close or in the same area geographically, so that after the transportation vehicle completes the unloading, it can reach the next loading address with a short driving distance and time.

[0052] This step ensures that the transportation vehicle will not be idle for a long time after unloading, can seamlessly connect to the next loading task, reduce the empty driving mileage of the transportation vehicle, and thus improve the transportation efficiency.

[0053] The container transportation supply-demand matching method provided in this embodiment can reduce the empty driving rate, improve the resource utilization rate of container transportation and the supply-demand matching efficiency of two-way loading through the supply-demand database of multiple tenants, the screening of the carriers and container types of the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand, and the matching of time and address.

[0054] In an alternative implementation, the above step S202 includes the following steps:

[0055] If the time interval between the unloading completion time of the first transportation demand and the loading start time of the second transportation demand is less than the preset time threshold, and the distance interval between the unloading address of the first transportation demand and the loading address of the second transportation demand is less than the first distance threshold, then a matching result of the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand is generated.

[0056] The preset time threshold refers to a preset time standard used to judge whether the time interval between two transportation demands is reasonable in the process of transportation demand matching. It is a time upper limit to ensure that the time interval between the unloading completion time of the first transportation demand and the loading start time of the second transportation demand will not be too long, so as to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the transportation task. The first distance threshold refers to a preset distance standard used to judge whether the distance between the unloading address of the first transportation demand and the loading address of the second transportation demand is reasonable in the process of transportation demand matching. It is a distance upper limit to ensure that the geographical locations of the two transportation demands are close, so as to reduce the empty driving mileage and time cost of the transportation vehicle.

[0057] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of container transportation supply-demand matching according to this alternative implementation, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, there is a wharf and a yard in a certain port, and there are Factory 1 and Factory 2 nearby. Factory 1 is mainly engaged in the processing and production of imported goods, and Factory 2 mainly focuses on the production of export goods. Company A has an import transportation demand, rents a 40-foot general container, the means of transportation is Ship 1, the carrier is Company A Shipping, and plans to pick up the container from the port yard at 10:00 on a certain day and unload the goods at Factory 1 at 12:00. Company B has an export transportation demand, rents the same specification of container, uses the same means of transportation and carrier, and plans to load the goods at Factory 2 at 14:00 on the same day and transport the goods to the port wharf at 16:00.

[0058] After verification, the time interval between the unloading completion time of the import transportation demand and the loading start time of the export transportation demand is 2 hours, which is less than the preset time threshold of 3 hours; the distance between the unloading address of the import transportation demand and the loading address of the export transportation demand is 20 kilometers, which is less than the first distance threshold of 30 kilometers. Therefore, a matching result of the import transportation demand and the export transportation demand is generated, and the carrier is requested to complete these two transportation demands in sequence.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, step S202 may further include the following steps:

[0060] Step b11, based on the unloading address and the container return address of the first transportation demand, determine the container return path of the first transportation demand.

[0061] Based on the unloading address and the container return address of the first transportation demand, determine the container return path of the first transportation demand. For example, if the unloading address of the first transportation demand is Factory 1 and the container return address is the port yard, determine the optimal path from Factory 1 to the port yard through map services or historical data as the container return path.

[0062] Step b12, based on the container return path, determine the candidate demand set; the candidate demand set includes at least one candidate transportation demand; the distance between the loading address of the candidate transportation demand and the container return path is less than the second distance threshold.

[0063] Based on the above container return path, determine the candidate demand set. The candidate demand set includes at least one candidate transportation demand, and the distance between the loading address of these candidate transportation demands and the container return path is less than the second distance threshold. For example, if the container return path is from Factory 1 to the port yard and the second distance threshold is 10 kilometers, then the loading addresses of all transportation demands within 10 kilometers around the container return path belong to the candidate demand set.

[0064] Step b13, based on the unloading completion time of the first transportation demand, the length of the container return path, and the transportation timeliness data, determine the preset time interval; the preset time interval is used to predict the time point when the carrier's transportation tool arrives at the loading address of the second transportation demand.

[0065] Based on the unloading completion time, repositioning path length, and transportation timeliness data of the first transportation demand, a preset time interval is determined. This preset time interval is used to predict the time point when the carrier's transportation vehicle arrives at the loading address of the second transportation demand. For example, if the unloading completion time of the first transportation demand is 10:00, the repositioning path length is 20 kilometers, and the average speed of the transportation vehicle is 40 kilometers per hour, then the time for the transportation vehicle to travel from the unloading address to the repositioning address is 0.5 hours. Adding a certain buffer time (such as 0.5 hours), the preset time interval can be set as 11:00 - 12:00.

[0066] Step b14, if there is a candidate transportation demand in the candidate demand set whose loading start time is within the preset time interval of the repositioning path, the candidate transportation demand is taken as the second transportation demand, and a matching result between the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand is generated.

[0067] If there is a candidate transportation demand in the candidate demand set whose loading start time is within the preset time interval of the repositioning path, the candidate transportation demand is taken as the second transportation demand, and a matching result between the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand is generated. For example, if there is a transportation demand in the candidate demand set whose loading start time is 11:30 and is within the preset time interval of 11:00 - 12:00, then this transportation demand is selected as the second transportation demand and matched with the first transportation demand.

[0068] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation example of another container transportation supply - demand matching according to this alternative implementation manner, as Figure 4 shown, there is a wharf and a yard in a certain port, and there are Factory 1 and Factory 2 nearby. Factory 1 is mainly engaged in the processing and production of imported goods, while Factory 2 mainly focuses on the production of export goods.

[0069] One day, Company A has an import transportation demand to transport a batch of goods from the port's wharf to Factory 1 for processing and production. The expected unloading completion time is 10:00 on a certain day. After unloading, the container needs to be returned to the port yard. Based on the unloading address (Factory 1) and the repositioning address (port yard) of the first transportation demand, the system determines the repositioning path as from Factory 1 to the port yard. Based on this repositioning path, candidate demands are determined. Assuming the second distance threshold is 10 kilometers, the system searches for candidate transportation demands within a range of 10 kilometers around the repositioning path. Suppose Factory 2 has an export transportation demand (candidate transportation demand) whose loading address is 8 kilometers away from the repositioning path, which is less than the second distance threshold of 10 kilometers. Therefore, this export transportation demand is included in the candidate demand set.

[0070] Next, the preset time interval is determined based on the unloading completion time (10:00) of the first transportation demand, the length of the return box path (assuming it is 20 kilometers) and the transportation time efficiency data (assuming the average driving speed of the transportation tool is 40 kilometers per hour). The time for the transportation tool to travel from factory 1 to the port yard is 0.5 hours, plus a certain buffer time (such as 0.5 hours), the preset time interval is 11:00-12:00. The loading start time of the export transportation demand in the candidate demand set is 11:30, which is within the preset time interval 11:00-12:00. Therefore, this export transportation demand is used as the second transportation demand, and the matching results of the first transportation demand and the second transportation demand are generated. In this way, after completing the unloading of the first transportation demand, the carrier's transportation tool can go to factory 2 to load the goods according to the return box path, and then transport the goods to the port terminal, realizing efficient matching of two-way transportation, improving transportation efficiency and reducing transportation costs.

[0071] Optionally, the following steps are performed to adjust the first distance threshold, the preset time threshold, and the second distance threshold:

[0072] Step c11, obtaining transportation environment information; the environment information includes traffic conditions and weather conditions.

[0073] Acquire transportation environment information, which includes traffic conditions and weather conditions. For example, traffic conditions may include road congestion, construction information, traffic control, etc., and weather conditions may include rain, snow, fog, typhoon, etc.

[0074] Step c12: adjusting the first distance threshold, the preset time threshold and the second distance threshold based on the transportation environment information.

[0075] Based on the acquired transportation environment information, the first distance threshold, the preset time threshold, and the second distance threshold are adjusted. For example, if the traffic conditions are poor, such as serious road congestion, the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold can be appropriately increased to expand the range of the candidate demand set and increase the possibility of matching; at the same time, the preset time threshold can also be appropriately extended to consider the increase in the driving time of the transportation tool in congested conditions. If the weather conditions are severe, such as heavy rain or heavy snow, it may affect the driving speed and safety of the transportation tool, and the thresholds are adjusted accordingly to ensure the feasibility of the transportation task.

[0076] Optionally, after obtaining the matching results, you can also perform the following steps to upload the matching results:

[0077] Step d11, uploading the matching results to the tenant.

[0078] Upload the matching results to the tenant so that the tenant can understand the arrangement of transportation tasks. The uploading methods include email, SMS, mobile application notifications, etc. The tenant can make preparations in advance, arrange relevant personnel and resources to ensure the smooth progress of transportation tasks.

[0079] Step d12, receive the selection instruction from the tenant and determine the implemented matching result.

[0080] After the tenant receives the matching results, evaluate and select the matching results according to its actual situation and needs. The tenant can send a selection instruction to indicate the matching result decided to be implemented.

[0081] Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of a dynamic matching method for transportation requirements according to an optional embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0082] Step S501, if the carrier does not match the second transportation requirement during the completion of the first transportation requirement, continuously monitor the newly added transportation requirements.

[0083] If the carrier does not find a suitable second transportation task to match during the execution of the first transportation task, continuously pay attention to the newly emerging transportation requirements. Continuously scan and check whether there are new transportation requirements, so as to timely discover opportunities that may match the current transportation task.

[0084] Step S502, when it is detected that the newly added transportation requirement meets the target matching condition, perform real-time matching to obtain a newly added effective matching result.

[0085] During the continuous monitoring process, if a new transportation requirement is found and this requirement meets the previously set target matching condition, perform real-time matching. Through the matching algorithm, the system will compare and analyze the newly added transportation requirement with the existing transportation tasks. If the matching is successful, a newly added effective matching result is generated.

[0086] Step S503, upload the newly added effective matching result to the tenant.
