Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric train drop-and-hook transportation method, a readable storage medium and equipment, and belongs to the technical field of logistics and transportation. Background Art

[0002] Drop-and-hook transport refers to a method of transport in which a train drops off and picks up designated trailers at various loading and unloading points according to a predetermined schedule, continuing its journey. This minimizes downtime for the tractor, maximizing tractor capacity and improving transport efficiency. Under the same conditions, this method can achieve higher transport efficiency than fixed-hook transport.

[0003] During the process of drop-and-hook transportation, new energy trains mainly face the problems of insufficient cruising range and high weight and small cargo capacity. The insufficient cruising range is mainly reflected in the fact that the remaining energy of the trailer dropped and hooked according to the plan cannot meet the requirements of directly reaching the destination station, and it needs to be recharged in the middle, which ultimately extends the transportation time; the small weight and cargo capacity is mainly reflected in the low loading rate of the trailer dropped and hooked according to the plan, which leads to increased transportation costs.
