Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to dynamic scheduling technology, and in particular to a logistics transportation intelligent prediction and scheduling method and system based on digital twins. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of globalization, cross-border trade and international supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. Logistics efficiency and accuracy have become core competitive advantages for companies in the global market. Furthermore, the booming e-commerce industry has driven consumer demand for fast delivery and precise service, further intensifying the demand for efficient and accurate logistics. To meet this challenge, companies must optimize their logistics networks, improve the efficiency of transport resource allocation, and enhance visibility and control over the transportation process.
[0003] Most logistics and transportation scheduling methods currently available on the market often rely on static rules and simple algorithms, lacking real-time dynamic monitoring and intelligent forecasting capabilities. These methods often rely on manual intervention or fixed scheduling schemes, and are unable to effectively respond to sudden transportation issues such as traffic congestion, weather changes, or equipment failures, resulting in inefficient transportation and wasted resources. Furthermore, traditional scheduling methods have weak predictive capabilities and struggle to accurately predict future resource demands, making it difficult to achieve optimal resource allocation. Overallocation or resource shortages are common. Due to the lack of real-time feedback and optimization mechanisms, these methods are unable to automatically adjust and optimize during the actual transportation process, resulting in execution deviations that cannot be corrected in a timely manner and poor scheduling results. However, scheduling methods based on digital twins, by integrating real-time data, simulation predictions, and feedback optimization, can make more accurate decisions in dynamically changing environments, significantly improving logistics efficiency and resource utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Step 5: Based on the feedback data and scheduling execution deviation data during the logistics and transportation process, train and optimize the logistics and transportation digital twin model to form a closed-loop optimization system.
[0066] See Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a logistics and transportation digital twin model is constructed based on the acquired transport vehicle data and cargo flow data. It includes the physical entity layer, data fusion layer, virtual model layer and decision service layer. Specifically, it includes:
[0067] Connect various sensors of the transport vehicle with the onboard ECU control unit, and synchronize the operating status of the transport vehicle's physical equipment to the digital twin to build the physical entity layer;
[0068] Map the order data to the timeline of the simulation scenario based on the data fusion layer and align time and space;

[0070] A mixed integer programming solver is used to make online optimization decisions for numerous process problems. The trigger weights of abnormal events are dynamically adjusted using an importance sampling algorithm, randomly mapped to the timeline of the simulation scenario, and a decision-making service layer is constructed.
[0071] Based on the above four modules, a digital twin model of logistics and transportation is constructed.
[0072] Specifically, in the physical layer, various sensors (such as GPS, temperature and humidity sensors, speed sensors, etc.) and the vehicle ECU control unit are connected through communication protocols (such as CAN bus, Ethernet, etc.) to collect vehicle operating status information in real time. The formula for the MQTT / OPC UA protocol transmission data packet structure is:
[0073] P={t,ID,(s1,...,s n ),CRC}
[0074] Among them, t is the timestamp, s n is the normalized state parameter, CRC is the cyclic redundancy check;
[0075] Build a virtual model in the digital twin and synchronize the vehicle's sensor data in real time to ensure the consistency between the digital twin and the physical world.
[0076] In the data fusion layer, the UTM coordinate system is used to convert GPS data. The formula is:
[0077] (x,y)=f UTM (λ,φ,zone)
[0078] Among them, λ is longitude and φ is latitude;
[0079] When the time axis is dynamically mapped, define the simulation time axis T sim =αT real +β, aligning cargo events through dynamic time warping, the formula is:
[0080]
[0081] In the virtual model layer, static scene modeling builds a topology map based on road network data, and the node weight setting formula is:
[0082]
[0083] Among them, d k is the demand point, t teavel For travel time;
[0084] Dynamic data injection into the model through meteorological impact data.
[0085] See Figure 3 As shown in the figure, based on the digital twin model of logistics and transportation, the logistics and transportation process is simulated, and the resource demand in the future time window is predicted, including:
[0086] Based on the constructed digital twin model of logistics and transportation, the process was simulated using colored Petri nets, and the resource occupancy time series data of each path was recorded through Monte Carlo parallel simulation.
[0087] Based on the interaction mechanism between vehicles, cargo, and the environment, three types of intelligent agent models are constructed, and real-time state synchronization between intelligent agents is achieved;
[0088] Based on the time series data obtained through simulation, a resource demand forecasting model is constructed to predict the demand for key resources, including transportation capacity, energy, manpower, and facilities.
[0089] Specifically, the structure is defined based on the colored Petri net, and the place set is defined as follows: P = {p1,...,p m} represents the resource status (such as charging pile occupancy, warehouse capacity), and defines the transition set: T = {t1,...,t n} represents logistics events (loading and unloading, route selection);
[0090] Generate N parallel simulation paths based on Monte Carlo parallel simulation. The formula is:
[0091]
[0092] Where M(t) is the marker vector, ε~N(0,1);
[0093] Based on the interaction mechanism between vehicles, cargo and environment, three types of intelligent agent models are constructed:
[0094] The vehicle agent is responsible for performing transportation tasks in the logistics system. Its status includes location, speed, and status (empty, in transit, unloading, etc.);
[0095] The cargo agent is responsible for tracking the order and cargo status during transportation and participating in the decision-making process (such as priority, time requirements, etc.);
[0096] Environmental agents represent external environmental factors, such as traffic conditions and weather changes, which affect the status of vehicles and cargo;
[0097] When predicting multi-dimensional resource demand, we predict transportation demand based on LSTM+Attention, energy demand based on the Prophet model, manpower demand through the spatiotemporal graph convolutional network, and build a resource demand prediction model through multi-objective optimization.
[0098] See Figure 4 As shown in the figure, based on the predicted resource demand in the future time window, a flexible resource scheduling mechanism driven by digital twins is built to dynamically adjust the grouping configuration of transport vehicles and the timing of loading and unloading operations. Specifically, the following are involved:
[0099] Based on the prediction results of the resource demand prediction model, set constraints on the elastic resource scheduling mechanism, including resource constraints, time constraints, and environmental constraints;
[0100] The specific configuration of transport vehicles includes:
[0101] The vehicle-task allocation relationship and group combination coding are defined through binary matrices, and a load balance and spatiotemporal coupling constraint model is established;
[0102] Based on the double-chain chromosome encoding structure, a multi-objective weighted fitness function is designed, and adaptive crossover probability and tabu search are introduced to assist grouping;
[0103] Verify the optimality of the solution through the digital twin interface and establish elastic adjustment triggering rules for vehicle failures and traffic congestion;
[0104] The loading and unloading operation sequence specifically includes:
[0105] Based on the key resource data predicted by the resource demand forecasting model, a four-dimensional space-time cube is constructed to represent the loading and unloading resource status;
[0106] A time window penalty model is established through mixed integer programming, and a column generation algorithm is used to minimize the total loading and unloading cost and accelerate the generation of feasible solutions.
[0107] Based on cargo data, the priority of cargo is dynamically adjusted.
[0108] Specifically, the resource constraint formula is:
[0109]
[0110] Among them, x ijk Assign variables to tasks, is the resource consumption coefficient, δ r is the elastic redundancy rate;
[0111] The time constraint formula is:
[0112] max(t arrive ,TW start )≤t depart ≤TW end +η·|(violation)
[0113] Where η is the time window relaxation penalty coefficient;
[0114] The environmental constraint formula is:
[0115]
[0116] Among them, I wis the weather intensity index;
[0117] During the optimization process of transport vehicle grouping, the allocation relationship between vehicles and tasks is defined through a binary matrix.
[0118]
[0119] In order to ensure the load balance and space-time coupling constraints of the vehicle, a multi-objective optimization model can be designed to minimize the total transportation cost, time and load imbalance. The load balance constraint can be expressed as:
[0120]
[0121] Among them, W vehicle is the maximum load of the vehicle, W task The load requirements for each mission;
[0122] In the optimization of loading and unloading operation timing, a mixed integer programming is used to establish a time window penalty model to optimize the loading and unloading schedule. The objective function is to minimize the total loading and unloading cost. The constraints include that each task must be completed within the time window:
[0123]
[0124] t start (j)≥t ready (j),t end (j)≤t deadline (j)
[0125] Column generation algorithms can help speed up the generation of feasible solutions, especially for large-scale problems, and can effectively reduce the amount of computation;
[0126] Dynamically adjust the loading and unloading order based on the priority of the goods. Priority can be set based on factors such as delivery time, value, or customer requirements. Priority adjustment can be performed using the following rules:
[0127] P task (j)=α·Urgency(j)+β·Value(j)
[0128] Among them, P task (j) is the priority of task j, α and β are weight coefficients, Urgency(j) and Value(j) are the urgency and value of the task, respectively.
[0129] See Figure 5 As shown in the figure, based on the feedback data and scheduling execution deviation data during the logistics and transportation process, the logistics and transportation digital twin model is trained and optimized to form a closed-loop optimization system, which specifically includes:
[0130] Based on real-time collected data and resource demand forecasting model forecast data, extract multi-dimensional deviation data and extract deviation data features;
[0131] Retrain the digital twin model through the collected feedback data and deviation data features to continuously optimize the model parameters;
[0132] Based on the trained digital twin model, key indicators in the logistics transportation process are predicted in real time. The model automatically feedbacks the deviations generated during the scheduling execution process and further adjusts the model and scheduling strategy.
[0133] Specifically, since the deviation data may come from multiple dimensions (such as transportation time, transportation capacity, energy consumption, etc.), we need to extract deviation features from different angles. Let the different dimensions of the deviation data be ΔD1(t), ΔD2(t),…, ΔD k (t), where k represents the number of dimensions of the deviation data. The features of each dimension are extracted using statistical methods (such as mean, standard deviation, maximum value, etc.):
[0134] Mean:
[0135] Standard Deviation:
[0136] Maximum and minimum values:
[0137] Feedback data includes various deviations that actually occur during system operation and the effects after scheduling execution. Deviation data features and feedback data are used as input to retrain the digital twin model.
[0138] Through the back-propagation algorithm or other optimization methods (such as gradient descent), the model parameters are adjusted so that the model output is more consistent with the real-time feedback data and prediction target. The optimization goal is to minimize the loss function:
[0139]
[0140] Among them, θ is the model parameter and T is the training time;
[0141] Through the above real-time prediction and feedback mechanism, the model and scheduling strategy are continuously adjusted and optimized. This process is a closed-loop feedback process. In each cycle, the model's prediction results, execution deviation, and resource demand forecast will in turn influence the model retraining, further improving prediction accuracy and scheduling efficiency.
