Abstract
With the rise and improvement of artificial intelligence technology, the express delivery industry has become more intelligent. At the terminal of modern logistics, each dispatch center has hundreds of express mail deliveries to be dispatched every day, and the number of dispatchers is far less than the number of express mail deliveries. How to assign scientific tasks to each courier dispatch is the main target of this paper. The purpose is to make the number of tasks between the various couriers in the express center roughly the same in each cycle, so that there is a more balanced income between the couriers. In the simulation experiment, the delivery addresses are clustered according to the balanced k-means algorithm. Then, the ant colony algorithm is used to plan the delivery order of the express items in each class. Then, the time cost model is established according to the delivery distance of the express items in each class and the delivery mode of the express items to calculate the delivery time cost. Through a large amount of experimental data, the standard deviation of delivery time cost of each courier gradually decreases and tends to stabilize, which suggests that this method has a good effect on the dispatching task assignment of the express center. It can effectively make the delivery workload between the distributors roughly the same, and improve the delivery efficiency of the courier, save energy, and promote sustainable development.
Highlights
With the rise and development of online shopping, peoples’ consumption has changed greatly.More and more people choose to conduct shopping online, which greatly promotes the development of the express industry
The purpose of this paper is to study a set of task assignment methods for express delivery personnel to the courier center, in order to solve the problem that the courier center assigns unbalanced task assignments to the courier, so that the courier center can more appropriately distribute the work of each courier
This paper presents an algorithm for calculating the delivery time cost of express delivery, referred to as the delivery time cost algorithm
Summary
With the rise and development of online shopping, peoples’ consumption has changed greatly. More and more people choose to conduct shopping online, which greatly promotes the development of the express industry. The author learned that, before the express mail reached the delivery address, it would be transported to the regional express center, and assigned to specific couriers for delivery. The size of the workload will directly affect the salary of each courier. If the workload of couriers is different, their salaries will be different. In reality, employees who work more often get less pay, while those who work less often get more pay, which is not conducive to the development of courier companies. How to reasonably allocate the workload of couriers has become a very important and practical objective
