Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent logistics technology, and in particular relates to a logistics quotation method and device for a container multimodal transport network. Background Art
[0002] With the globalization of supply chain systems, cost management in international logistics has become a core link for companies to achieve competitive advantage. However, traditional logistics quotation methods face numerous challenges due to their reliance on manual estimation, data fragmentation, and the complexity of intermodal transport costs. Specifically, international freight involves multiple modes of transportation, such as road, rail, and port operations. The cost of each mode of transportation is affected by factors such as distance, cargo weight, vehicle capacity, and exchange rate fluctuations. However, traditional quotation methods struggle to fully capture these dynamic factors. Secondly, inconsistent data leads to inefficient cost accounting. Traditional quotation methods often require a significant amount of time to integrate scattered rate information, making it difficult to meet real-time requirements. Thirdly, the cost structure of intermodal transport is complex, and the conversion between road and rail involves additional site operation costs and time delays. Traditional quotation methods struggle to effectively model the interaction effects of different sites. Furthermore, traditional quotation methods lack transparency and typically only provide a total cost, making it difficult for customers to understand the cost structure, reducing trust and decision-making efficiency. These issues collectively lead to insufficient accuracy, low efficiency, and limited customer satisfaction in traditional quotation methods, severely restricting the intelligent development of the logistics industry.
[0003] In recent years, with the rise of big data and intelligent technologies, automated quotation has become a research hotspot in the logistics industry. However, existing automated quotation technologies have problems such as large deviations between quotations and actual costs, difficulty in meeting the needs of real-time quotation, and insufficient transparency. Specifically, in existing technologies, some solutions attempt to achieve automated accounting based on static rate tables or simple cost models. However, some algorithms only support cost calculations for a single mode of transport, ignoring the synergistic effects of multimodal transport. Other solutions, although considering multimodal transport, do not fully address exchange rate fluctuations or dynamic adjustments to the number of containers, resulting in large deviations between quotations and actual costs. In addition, existing technologies are inefficient when processing large-scale network data and cannot meet the needs of real-time quotation. What's more, the quotation plans generated by existing solutions lack detailed cost details and lack transparency, which limits customers' verification of the rationality of the quotations. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application more clearly understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments.

[0020] The present invention provides a logistics quotation method for a container multimodal transport network, comprising the following steps: Step 100: Extract parameters related to transportation costs from the transportation data of the container multimodal transport network; wherein the parameters related to transportation costs include channel rates of different transportation modes, fixed fee standards, cargo transportation capacity and station operation costs.
[0021] Step 200: Obtain a predetermined transportation route, a weight of the goods to be transported, and a predetermined target settlement currency.

[0023] Step 400: Generate a logistics quotation plan for the goods to be transported based on the cost of each transport segment in the predetermined transport route.
[0024] The material quotation method for a container intermodal transport network described in the present invention extracts parameters related to transport costs from the transport data of the container intermodal transport network, and fully considers the parameters related to transport costs when calculating the cost of each transport segment, so that the quotation can more accurately reflect the actual cost and reduce the deviation between the quotation and the actual cost; for a predetermined transport route, the cost of each transport segment is calculated in combination with the parameters related to transport costs, which can comprehensively consider the synergy of different transport segments in intermodal transport and the site operation costs, thereby more accurately calculating the cost of the entire transport process and improving the accuracy of the quotation; secondly, combined with the predetermined target settlement currency, it can take into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on costs; at the same time, based on the transport Data and cargo weight can better handle the dynamic adjustment of the number of containers and further improve the accuracy of quotations; when calculating the cost of each transport segment, it clearly distinguishes different types of fees such as dynamic freight, fixed fees and additional fees, and generates logistics quotation plans based on detailed cost information, providing customers with detailed cost details, so that customers can clearly understand the composition of the quotation, enhance their trust in the quotation, and help customers make more reasonable decisions; the method described in the present invention realizes the automation, accuracy and transparency of container multimodal transport network logistics quotations, which helps logistics companies improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction, thereby promoting the development of the logistics industry towards intelligence and enhancing the competitiveness of the logistics industry.
[0025] The following further explains the logistics quotation method for a container multimodal transport network provided by the present invention using some specific embodiments of the railway-road combined transport model in an international logistics network: Example 1 As attached Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides a logistics quotation method for a container multimodal transport network, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Extract parameters related to transportation costs from the transportation data of the container multimodal transport network; wherein the parameters related to transportation costs include channel rates of different transportation modes, fixed fee standards, cargo transportation capacity, and station operation costs.
[0026] Specifically, based on parallel processing technology, the channel rates, fixed fee standards, cargo transportation capacity and site operating costs of different transportation modes are extracted from the transportation data of the container multimodal transport network; and the integrity of the extracted channel rates, fixed fee standards, cargo transportation capacity and site operating costs of different transportation modes is verified; if the integrity verification passes, the parameters related to the transportation cost are output; otherwise, the data is returned and re-extracted.
[0027] Among them, the channel rates for different modes of transport include the channel rates for rail transport or road transport; the fixed fee standards for different modes of transport include the customs clearance fee standards and local handling fee standards for rail transport or road transport; the site operation costs for different modes of transport are the loading and unloading costs at the connection between rail transport and road transport.
[0028] In this embodiment 1, parameters related to transportation costs are extracted from the transportation data of the container intermodal transport network through parallel processing technology, which can achieve rapid integration of cost-related parameters under different transportation modes in the container intermodal transport network, and ensure the reliability of the basic data used for quotation calculation by verifying their integrity. At the same time, by comprehensively extracting parameters related to transportation costs under road transport and rail transport modes, it is ensured that cost accounting can reflect the synergistic effect of intermodal transport.
[0029] Step 2: Obtain a predetermined transportation route, the weight of the goods to be transported, and a predetermined target settlement currency. The predetermined transportation route includes the starting point and destination of the goods, as well as the transportation methods for different route segments. It should be noted that the predetermined transportation route is obtained based on a predetermined logistics route search algorithm. The process of obtaining the predetermined transportation route is not a key point of protection in this application and will not be further described here. Based on the transportation methods of different route segments, the predetermined transportation route can be divided into different transportation segments, such as road segments or rail segments.
[0030] Optionally, after obtaining the predetermined transport path, the feasibility of the predetermined transport path is verified to ensure that the quotation is based on valid network constraints; wherein, the feasibility verification of the predetermined transport path includes verifying the site accessibility, transport mode connection and network constraint compliance of the predetermined transport path.
[0031] Step 3: Based on the predetermined transport route, the weight of the goods to be transported, and the predetermined target settlement currency, and in combination with parameters related to the transport cost, calculate the cost of each transport segment in the predetermined transport route; wherein the cost of each transport segment includes the dynamic freight, fixed fees, and additional fees of each transport segment.
[0032] Specifically, the steps are as follows: Step 31: Using parallel processing technology, the number of containers required for different modes of transport is calculated based on the weight of the goods to be transported and the cargo transport capacity of each mode of transport. The number of containers required for different modes of transport includes the number of containers required for road transport and the number of containers required for rail transport.
[0033] Specifically, the number of containers required for road transport is obtained by dividing the weight of the goods to be transported by the cargo transport capacity of the road transport mode; the number of containers required for rail transport is obtained by dividing the weight of the goods to be transported by the cargo transport capacity of the rail transport mode.
[0034] Step 32: Based on the predetermined transport route and the number of containers required under different transport modes, combined with the lane rates, fixed fee standards, and station operating costs of different transport modes, the dynamic fee, fixed fee, and surcharge for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route are calculated. The predetermined transport route includes road segments and rail segments, with road transport used for the road segments and rail transport used for the rail segments.
[0035] Specifically, the dynamic cost of the highway section is calculated based on the channel fee under the highway transport mode, the transportation distance of the highway section, and the number of containers required under the highway transport mode; the fixed cost of the highway section is calculated based on the customs clearance fee standard and local handling fee standard under the highway transport mode and the number of containers required under the highway transport mode; the additional cost of the highway section is calculated based on the loading and unloading cost at the connection between the railway transport mode and the highway transport mode and the number of containers required under the highway transport mode.
[0036] The dynamic cost of the railway section is calculated based on the channel rate under the railway transport mode and the number of containers required under the railway transport mode; the fixed cost of the railway section is calculated based on the customs declaration fee standard and local handling fee standard under the railway transport mode and the number of containers required under the railway transport mode; the additional cost of the railway section is calculated based on the loading and unloading costs at the connection between the railway transport mode and the road transport mode and the number of containers required under the railway transport mode.
[0037] Step 33: Convert the dynamic fee, fixed fee and additional fee of each transport segment in the predetermined transport path into the predetermined target settlement currency based on the real-time exchange rate between the current settlement currency of each transport segment and the predetermined target settlement currency, and obtain the dynamic fee amount, fixed fee amount and additional fee amount of each transport segment in the predetermined transport path.
[0038] Specifically, the dynamic fees, fixed fees, and additional fees expressed in the current settlement currency of each transport segment are converted into dynamic fees, fixed fees, and additional fees expressed in the predetermined target settlement currency based on a real-time exchange rate between the current settlement currency of each transport segment and a predetermined target settlement currency. During the currency conversion, the dynamic fees, fixed fees, and additional fees expressed in the current settlement currency of each transport segment are multiplied by the real-time exchange rate to obtain the dynamic fees, fixed fees, and additional fees expressed in the predetermined target settlement currency, thereby obtaining the dynamic fee amount, fixed fee amount, and additional fee amount for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route.
[0039] Step 34: Add up the dynamic fee amount, fixed fee amount, and additional fee amount for each transport segment in the predetermined transport path to obtain the cost of each transport segment in the predetermined transport path; wherein the cost of each transport segment in the predetermined transport path is expressed in the predetermined target settlement currency.
[0040] Step 4: Generate a logistics quotation for the goods to be transported based on the cost of each transport segment in the predetermined transport route. The logistics quotation includes the total cost of the predetermined transport route and a detailed cost breakdown for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route. The detailed cost breakdown for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route includes a dynamic fee amount, a fixed fee amount, and an additional fee amount for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route.
[0041] Specifically, the process is as follows: Step 41: Based on the parallel processing technology, the cost of each transport segment in the predetermined transport route is accumulated to obtain the total cost of the predetermined transport route.
[0042] Step 42: The dynamic fee amount, fixed fee amount, and additional fee amount of each transport segment in the predetermined transport route are used as the fee details of each transport segment in the predetermined transport route.
[0043] Step 43: Output the total cost under the predetermined transportation route and the cost details of each transportation segment in the predetermined transportation route to obtain a logistics quotation plan for the goods to be transported.
[0044] The logistics quotation method for a container intermodal transport network described in Example 1 uses parallel processing technology to extract parameters related to transport costs from multi-source transport data in the container intermodal transport network, which can quickly complete the data integration under different transport modes and verify their integrity, thereby ensuring the reliability of the basic data used for cost accounting; based on the parameters related to transport costs, the predetermined transport route, the weight of the goods to be transported and the predetermined target settlement currency, the transport costs are calculated section by section to comprehensively consider the dynamic rates of roads and railways, the cumulative effects of station operating expenses and fixed costs; wherein, according to the weight of the goods and the transport mode, the number of containers required under different transport modes is dynamically determined to optimize the cost structure; secondly, the current cost of each transport segment is calculated. The foreign currency is converted into a predetermined target settlement currency, so that the foreign currency cost in the international freight is dynamically converted into the target currency through the currency conversion mechanism, ensuring that the quotation reflects real-time exchange rate fluctuations; for example, if the base freight in the railway section is denominated in US dollars, it is converted into the target settlement currency according to the current exchange rate; by processing the cost of each section of transportation in parallel, a logistics quotation plan covering dynamic freight, fixed fees and additional fees as well as the total cost amount is generated, providing users with a transparent and actionable decision-making basis; it is worth noting that based on parallel processing technology, it ensures that fast response can be maintained when processing large-scale networks; in addition, the method described in this embodiment 1 also supports dynamic adjustment, for example, when the exchange rate fluctuates or the rate changes, the quotation plan can be quickly updated to ensure the timeliness of the quotation.
[0045] Example description: To further illustrate the application process of the logistics quotation method for a container multimodal transport network described in Example 1, the execution process of the method is described by taking the quotation process of a company transporting 50 tons of goods from a port city in China to a railway hub in Europe as an example.
[0046] Specifically, the execution process is as follows: First, based on the parallel processing technology, the channel rates, fixed fee standards, cargo transportation capacity and station operation costs of different transportation modes are extracted from the transportation data of the container multimodal transport network, and their integrity is verified; then, the predetermined transportation route, the cargo weight of the cargo to be transported and the predetermined target settlement currency input by the user are received; wherein the predetermined transportation route includes a road section and a railway section, the cargo weight of the cargo to be transported is 50 tons, and the predetermined target settlement currency is RMB; then, based on the parallel processing technology, according to the cargo weight of the cargo to be transported, combined with the cargo transportation capacity of the road transportation mode and the railway transportation mode, the number of containers required under the road transportation mode and the number of containers required under the railway transportation mode are calculated to meet the weight requirements; then, according to the predetermined The transport route and the number of containers required under different transport modes are combined with the channel rates, fixed fee standards and site operation costs of different transport modes to calculate the dynamic fee, fixed fee and surcharge for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route; then, currency conversion is performed to obtain the dynamic fee amount, fixed fee amount and surcharge amount for each transport segment in the predetermined transport route; for example, the US dollar base freight rate for the railway segment is converted into RMB to ensure that the quotation reflects the current exchange rate; through parallel processing technology, the cost details of each transport segment are quickly generated, covering dynamic freight, fixed fees and surcharges; finally, all cost items are integrated and a quotation plan with detailed cost details is output. The total cost is significantly better than traditional manual quotations, and it is highly transparent, allowing customers to clearly verify the source of each cost.
[0047] In another example, suppose a user needs to generate a quotation for cargo of different weights, such as 100 tons of transported goods. All he needs to do is dynamically adjust the number of required containers and recalculate the cost structure. The quotation also includes a detailed cost breakdown and supports presentation by mode of transport.
[0048] Analysis of the results of the above examples shows that the logistics quotation method described in Example 1 can flexibly adapt to different transportation needs and can provide users with efficient and transparent quotation solutions.
[0049] The logistics quotation method described in Example 1 is highly flexible and robust, and supports cost accounting in multimodal transport scenarios. It ensures that the quotation reflects the synergistic effect of multimodal transport by comprehensively modeling road and rail transport costs. It dynamically calculates the required number of containers and the currency conversion mechanism, and can adapt to the diverse needs of cargo characteristics and market fluctuations. It utilizes a parallel computing framework to significantly improve quotation efficiency and is suitable for processing complex international logistics networks. Secondly, by providing a logistics quotation plan with cost details, it enhances the traceability of decisions and user trust. Among them, through the verification of multi-source data and transportation routes, a robust design is achieved to ensure that the algorithm can still operate stably in an uncertain environment.

[0064] The logistics quotation method for a container intermodal transport network described in the present invention extracts parameters related to transportation costs from multi-source transportation data of the container intermodal transport network, including channel rates, fixed fee standards, cargo transportation capacity and site operation costs of different transportation modes, thereby achieving comprehensive processing of data under road and rail transportation modes, ensuring that cost accounting can reflect the synergistic effects of intermodal transport.

[0066] In this invention, all cost items are integrated into a unified quotation plan, including the detailed cost of each transport segment and the total cost, providing users with a transparent and actionable decision-making basis; for a multimodal transport route including road and rail, by clearly listing the transportation costs, station operation costs and fixed costs of each segment, the transparent output not only makes it easier for users to verify the rationality of the quotation, but also provides a reliable basis for communication between enterprises and customers. In the present invention, a currency conversion mechanism is introduced to support the dynamic needs of international logistics. Specifically, since international freight involves multiple currencies, exchange rate fluctuations may significantly affect the accuracy of quotations. By uniformly converting the dynamic costs, fixed costs and additional charges of each transport segment into a predetermined target calculation currency, it is ensured that the quotations reflect real-time market conditions. For example, the base freight rate for railway transportation may be denominated in US dollars, while the rate for road transportation may be denominated in the target currency. Through a unified exchange rate conversion, it is ensured that all cost items are presented in a consistent currency unit.
[0067] In the present invention, cost accounting efficiency is optimized through parallel computing technology; in particular, multi-threaded processing can complete the cost calculation of each section of transportation in parallel, significantly shortening the quotation generation time. It is particularly suitable for scenarios with high real-time and concurrency requirements, such as providing customers with instant quotation solutions or quickly updating quotes when rates fluctuate.
[0068] The logistics quotation method described in the present invention ensures the accuracy of quotations through a multi-dimensional cost decomposition mechanism, and comprehensively captures various costs in the transportation process; through comprehensive modeling of road and rail transportation, a quotation plan covering the entire process is generated; the parallel computing framework significantly improves the efficiency of processing large-scale data and is suitable for scenarios with high real-time requirements; based on dynamic container calculation and currency conversion functions, its flexibility is enhanced to adapt to the diverse needs of cargo characteristics and market fluctuations; transparent quotation output enhances user trust and decision-making efficiency by providing detailed cost details, and injects new kinetic energy of intelligence and automation into the international logistics industry; the present invention deeply integrates road and rail transportation data, combines multi-dimensional cost decomposition, dynamic cost adjustment and parallel computing technology, to provide accurate, transparent and efficient quotation plans for international freight, which is suitable for global supply chain management, especially for cross-border multimodal transport scenarios, aiming to optimize the accuracy, real-timeness and user experience of cost accounting, and improve the level of intelligence in the logistics industry.

The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is not limited only to this embodiment, but also includes changes, replacements and other implementation methods that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention.
