Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for determining transportation schemes in logistics are inefficient, particularly when dealing with large volumes of goods, as they require extensive operations and consume a lot of time, especially in three-dimensional loading simulations.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that involves obtaining multiple route schemes and corresponding goods allocation schemes, using a fast loading model trained offline to determine actual loading rates, and integrating and evaluating these schemes to determine a target transportation scheme efficiently.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If three-dimensional loading simulation is used to obtain goods loading scheme, then loading accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores loading schemes and loading rates for various goods combinations in an offline manner before actual transportation planning. When determining a transportation scheme, the system directly retrieves pre-computed loading rates from the database instead of performing real-time three-dimensional loading simulations, thus achieving fast online decision-making while maintaining accurate loading rate data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the complex three-dimensional loading simulation process into two independent stages: offline pre-computation stage where loading schemes are calculated and stored, and online retrieval stage where pre-computed data is directly accessed. This segmentation allows the computationally intensive simulation to be performed only once offline, while online operations benefit from fast data retrieval without repeated simulations.
2Reliability
If traditional route planning methods are used, then route optimization is achieved, but the overall efficiency of determining transportation scheme is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-computes loading schemes and stores them in a database before actual transportation planning. When determining a transportation scheme, the system retrieves pre-computed loading rates directly from the database, avoiding time-consuming real-time three-dimensional loading simulations and significantly improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional sequential process (route planning → goods allocation → three-dimensional loading simulation → loading rate calculation) with a hybrid approach that uses pre-computed data tables and direct database queries. This substitution eliminates the need for repeated mechanical three-dimensional simulations during online operations, achieving fast retrieval of accurate loading rates.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a method for determining a transportation scheme, a method for training a fast loading model, and a device that are used for obtaining a goods transportation scheme, to fast obtain a target transportation scheme, reduce transportation costs, and improve transportation efficiency especially when a transportation volume is large and a situation is complex. The method for determining a transportation scheme includes: obtaining at least one route scheme and a first goods allocation scheme set corresponding to each route scheme, where each route scheme is a transportation route planned for transporting to-be-transported goods, and the first goods allocation scheme set includes at least one goods allocation scheme; determining, by using a fast loading model, an actual loading rate of each goods allocation scheme, where the fast loading model is obtained by training offline simulation data of a historical loading scheme offline that is calculated by using a three-dimensional loading algorithm; and integrating and evaluating, based on the actual loading rate, each route scheme and a corresponding goods allocation scheme, to determine a target transportation scheme.
