Abstract:

Crowdsourcing is a mode of transportation in which social vehicles accept to deviate from their own routes to deliver goods to others for a small amount of compensation. With the popularity of the sharing economy, it has become an important means to reduce logistics and transportation costs. However, there is a significant difference in the transport capacity of vehicles in the crowdsourcing model, and customer needs are split to meet when participating in logistics delivery. At the same time, when enterprises employ both their own vehicles and social crowdsourced vehicles for logistics delivery, the key to reducing transportation costs lies in coordinating the routes of these two types of vehicles. In this paper, considering that customer demand can be split, a collaborative transportation routing model with split demands is established. Then, a genetic algorithm for relational model-assisted evaluation is designed. The algorithm framework consists of two layers: the upper layer adopts the genetic algorithm of 0-1 coding to assign customers to different types of vehicles, and the lower layer adopts the genetic algorithm of real number coding for the distribution results of the upper layer to solve the subproblems of routing problems for hired vehicles and crowdsourcing vehicles respectively. In order to speed up the efficiency of the lower genetic algorithm, support vector machine model is used to learn the relationship between the good and bad of the solution pairs for assisting the search of the lower genetic algorithm. Finally, some test instances based on benchmark instances are designed, and numerical experiments are conducted. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs well. The management enlightenment obtained from the research is as follows: (1) Enterprises can adopt collaborative transportation mode to reduce transportation costs. (2) In the process of reducing enterprise operating costs, crowd-sourced vehicles with larger available capacity should be given priority.
