Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of multimodal transport technology, and in particular relates to a low-carbon multimodal transport network design method that takes into account the shipper's route selection. Background Technology

[0002] As the core carrier of the low-carbon freight system, the multimodal transport network has covered major freight hubs nationwide, accounting for a significant proportion of the annual freight volume in the comprehensive transportation system. Its transport efficiency depends on intelligent decision-making regarding shippers' route selection behavior, coordinated optimization of transport modes, and low-carbon subsidy strategies. Shippers' route selection requires comprehensive consideration of heterogeneous demands such as transport time, cost, and brand preference; coordinated optimization of transport modes involves capacity matching and route connection among various modes such as road, rail, and waterway; and low-carbon subsidy strategies require a dynamic balance between fiscal expenditure and carbon emission cost control. Existing design methods mostly employ static optimization models, failing to effectively integrate dynamic subsidy mechanisms and lacking precise characterization of shippers' behavioral preferences and differences in transport batches. This results in a significant gap between the actual utilization rate of low-carbon transport modes and expected targets, with road transport dominating total carbon emissions, severely restricting the coordinated improvement of multimodal transport networks in service quality and emission reduction targets.

[0003] Among the existing multimodal transport-related invention patents, a multimodal transport composite rail transport system (CN202310123456.7) and an unmanned multimodal transport vehicle and transport system (CN201910871877.0) provide methods for constructing multimodal transport infrastructure; a route network planning and management system suitable for road engineering design (CN202310345678.9) and a continuous traffic network design method based on SUE (CN201810263236.2) provide methods for route planning and network optimization; a train timetable and route selection optimization method based on multi-granularity spatiotemporal network (CN202111312514.7) and a freight network task allocation method and system (CN202311308405.7) provide methods for transport organization and resource allocation, but an intelligent multimodal transport collaborative system integrating route planning, operation optimization and low-carbon goals has not yet been formed. Existing technologies optimize specific links independently, lacking global coordination across the entire multimodal transport chain, resulting in limited improvements in transport efficiency and poor carbon emission control.

[0004] Current multimodal transport network designs suffer from the following technical deficiencies: First, existing route selection models fail to fully consider shippers' heterogeneous preferences for transport time and freight costs, leading to insufficient utilization of low-carbon transport modes. Second, at the implementation level of low-carbon policies, traditional subsidy strategies (such as fixed-amount subsidies or volume-based subsidies) have significant limitations: on the one hand, fixed subsidies are difficult to adapt to cost differences over different transport distances; on the other hand, volume-based subsidies easily induce irrational transport behaviors such as "group buying." Traditional low-carbon subsidy strategies lack a dynamic adaptation mechanism with transport distance and cargo flow direction, making it difficult to effectively guide medium- and long-distance freight transport towards low-carbon modes. Third, existing network design methods do not integrate the characteristics of batch transport of cargo flow with multimodal transport collaborative optimization, resulting in deviations in transport time calculations and imbalances in resource allocation. These problems severely restrict the improvement of the low-carbon efficiency and operational efficiency of multimodal transport systems. Summary of the Invention

[0085] S34. To ensure the conservation of cargo flow in the transportation network and avoid resource idleness or congestion, multimodal transport network constraints are established, specifically including:

[0086] S341, Settings This indicates that cargo b selects transportation mode k on transportation segment ij; otherwise, it is 0.

[0087] and settings This indicates that goods b change from transportation mode r to k at network node i; otherwise, it is 0.

[0088] Where the set k∈{rd,rl,wt} represents the modes of transportation: road, rail, and waterway, respectively.

[0089] S342. By constraining the inflow of goods to equal the outflow at all network nodes except the origin and destination points, the following network node inflow-outflow balance constraints are constructed:

[0090]

[0100] S5. Under the constraints of S3, the objective function of S4 is solved using a particle swarm optimization algorithm with embedded CPLEX to obtain a low-carbon multimodal transport network design scheme.

[0101] In this step, due to the decision variables of this application (such as the fixed low-carbon subsidy Z0, the unit distance variable subsidy Z1, and the route selection ratio of each batch of goods), This includes continuous decision variables and 0 / 1 decision variables (such as...). and Therefore, the objective function belongs to a mixed-integer programming model. Since the Logit model is a complex nonlinear function, it can be specifically classified as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model. Such problems are commonly solved using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms. To address this, this application designs a PSO algorithm framework embedding CPLEX.

[0102] This application embeds CPLEX into a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to decide the fixed low-carbon subsidy Z0 and the unit distance variable subsidy Z1 in carpet subsidies, and overcomes the nonlinear solution problem of the nested Logit model. Meanwhile, CPLEX is used to decide the transportation mode in multimodal transport schemes. With transportation routes It is also used to evaluate the particle fitness of the particle swarm optimization algorithm.

[0115] S553. Recalculate the route selection ratio for each batch of goods using the Logit model. The deviation value is used as the particle swarm fitness, and the subsidy scheme determined by the fixed low-carbon subsidy Z0 and the unit distance variable subsidy Z1 is output, along with the subsidy scheme determined by the mode of transportation. With transportation routes The jointly determined multimodal transport scheme is used to obtain a multimodal transport network design scheme.

[0116] Example 2:

[0117] The multimodal transport network design described in this application is based on the coordinated optimization of multiple modes of transport such as road, rail, and waterway to construct the optimal freight route from origin to destination.

[0118] As an example, taking freight transportation from Shenyang to Taiyuan, the design process requires constructing a transportation network with 16 hub nodes and configuring three optional modes of transportation—road, rail, and waterway—for each transportation segment. Taking into account factors such as transportation time, cost, and carbon emissions, and combining the shippers' personalized needs for timeliness and cost, a complete low-carbon multimodal transport network design scheme is output. For example: first, transport by rail from Shenyang to Yingkou (enjoying low-carbon subsidies), then by waterway to Tianjin, and finally by road to Taiyuan.

[0119] The shipper route selection described in this application refers to the behavioral decision-making process by which a shipper selects a transportation route in a multimodal transport network based on heterogeneous needs such as transportation time and transportation costs.

[0120] As an example, please refer to Figure 4 The diagram shows the shipper's route selection and proportions. (See attached image.) Figure 4 As shown, the shipper's route selection can be decomposed into two levels: the upper level is carrier selection (B1, B2), and the lower level is specific transportation route selection (P1-P5). The selection ratio of each transportation route is determined by the shipper's utility preferences for freight, time, etc., with railways being more attractive due to subsidy strategies.

[0121] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, many changes can be made in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. As long as these changes do not depart from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

S553. Recalculate the route selection ratio for each batch of goods using the Logit model. The deviation value is used as the particle swarm fitness, and the subsidy scheme determined by the fixed low-carbon subsidy Z0 and the unit distance variable subsidy Z1 is output, along with the subsidy scheme determined by the mode of transportation. With transportation routes The jointly determined multimodal transport scheme is used to obtain a multimodal transport network design scheme.
