Abstract:

With the rapid development of takeaway industry, the time and scale of real-time distribution have been improved, which makes the traffic violations such as retrograde motion and overspeed increase sharply. The delivery time estimated through the straight-line distance by the platform, but the actual distribution network is asymmetric. Considering the above distribution situations, the real-time pick-up and delivery problem with the asymmetric network is proposed and analyzed with online algorithm. A competitive algorithm that matches the lower bound of the problem is designed, JLNO algorithm is presented for positive half-line metric space, JPI-rd algorithm and W&I algorithm are presented for general metric network, and the performance of three algorithms is further analyzed. A sensitivity analysis of various parameters indicates that the JPI-rd algorithm is more suitable when the asymmetry coefficient and the network are larger. The conclusion can provide delivery strategies and path optimization for delivery vehicles on O2O delivery platforms under different scenarios.
