The invention discloses a
shipping container freight rate prediction method based on
artificial intelligence, and relates to the technical field of freight rate prediction.The method comprises the steps that a port
state prediction model is constructed through a graph neural network GNN, a port congestion index is calculated based on the port
throughput, the ship queuing condition, the berth
utilization rate and the
transportation scheduling condition, and a port network graph is constructed to predict the freight rate of a
shipping container; describing a connection relationship between ports by using an adjacent matrix, performing
information propagation by using GNN, and calculating updated port features; a port congestion index is adopted to
train an LSTM regression model, the future port state is predicted, and therefore the
mutual influence between ports is dynamically captured; and based on the predicted port state, a
reinforcement learning RL training agent is adopted to construct a cargo circulation prediction model, a Markov
decision process MDP is adopted to define a cargo circulation state, and a deep Q network DQN is adopted to optimize a cargo circulation path, so that the agent can adjust a cargo circulation strategy in different port states, and the cargo circulation prediction accuracy is improved. Therefore,
market change is adapted and prediction reliability is improved.
