The Optimization of Split Demand Route Planning Under Metro-Truck Collaborative Distribution

With the evolution of people's consumption habits and the rapid growth of urban logistics, the number of trucks and delivery frequency has increased significantly, exacerbating urban traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Consequently, there is an urgent need to improve the current inefficient and highly polluted distribution mode. Currently, in most cities in China, the metro passenger flow is insufficient, and the capacity is excessive during off-peak hours, resulting in underutilized carriage capacity. The integration of surface and underground transport resources can effectively address these issues and facilitate complementary advantages and win–win cooperation between express companies and metro enterprises. This study proposes an innovative problem of split demand route planning in the cooperative distribution system involving express companies and subways. A cooperative distribution model is developed to minimize the total cost, and solved by the Cuckoo Search algorithm to obtain the optimized solution. The model is applied to the urban rail transit network in Changchun, and the results demonstrate that it is effective in reducing truck mileage and distribution costs. Compared to the single delivery pattern by trucks, the cooperative distribution approach proves to be more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Exploring spatial association between residential and commercial urban spaces: A machine learning approach using taxi trajectory data

Human mobility datasets, such as traffic flow data, reveal the connections between urban spaces. A novel framework is proposed to explore the spatial association between urban commercial and residential spaces via consumption travel flows in Shanghai. A social network analysis and a community detection method are employed using taxi trajectory data during the daytime to validate the framework. The machine learning-based approach, such as the community detection method, can overcome the limitation regarding spatial uncertainty and spatial effects. The empirical findings suggest that people's commercial activities are sensitive to the power of accessible commercial centers and travel distances. The high-level commercial centers would contribute to the monocentric structure in the outer urban region based on consumption flows. In the central urban region, increasing the number of high-level commercial centers and making the powers of commercial centers hierarchical can contribute to a polycentric mobility pattern of people's consumption. This research contributes to the literature by providing a novel framework to model, analyze and visualize people's mobility based on the trajectory big data, which is promising in future urban research.

Abstract−Technology plays an important role in economic development. Covid-19 has changed people's lifestyles and the behavioral patterns of business actors have transformed from traditional to digital. Even though Covid-19 has had a significant impact in the form of a decline in the global economy, including on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), it has also provided lessons in the form of adaptation to innovation and digital transformation in the form of the application of the latest technology and artificial intelligence. In line with the industrial revolution 4.0 and digital transformation, it can provide opportunities and strengths to build sustainable businesses. Along with changes in people's consumption patterns, MSMEs have also implemented digital adoption in the form of switching to e-commerce platform sites, food delivery applications and online business models. However, the adoption of artificial intelligence is still not widely used by MSMEs. However, several MSMEs have adopted artificial intelligence technology such as chatbot applications for communication services. Apart from that, support and providing programs from the government and the private sector are needed for MSMEs so that they can develop and adapt their business models to the latest technological adaptations so that MSMEs are also able to survive and even grow rapidly in the future.Keywords: Industrial Revolution 4.0, Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence, MSMEs

Accumulation of mercury in muscle of orange-spotted spinefoot(Siganus guttatus Bloch, 1787) by age and season in the coastal Quang Binh

Orange-spotted spinefoot (Siganus guttatus) is not only a fish with high economic value, rich in nutrients, but also popular with people for consumption. This research was carried out from November 2021 to May 2022, in the coastal and estuaries of Quang Binh province. A total of 60 samples of orange-spotted spinefoot were collected by age group, wet season, and dry season to analyse the accumulation of mercury (Hg) in their muscles. The Hg concentration was analysed by cold vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy. Research results showed a strong correlation between the length and weight of fish both in the wet and dry seasons. The age group has a strong influence on the accumulation of Hg in their muscles, the older fish group has a higher aggregation of Hg than the younger fish group. Although the average value of Hg concentration in the muscle of orange-spotted spinefoot in the dry season is higher than in the wet season, analysis results of “Tukey’s HSD test” showed that there was no significant difference.

Research on the Impact of American Consumer Behavior after COVID-19

The spread of COVID-19 has significantly influenced people’s lives and brought worldwide recession. In order to society to recover faster from the epidemic, the first step is to understand the impact of the epidemic on people and changes in people's consumption habits. This paper uses the Real Personal Consumption Expenditure provided by Fred to categorize consumption into service, durable goods, and non-durable goods and to analyze the change of consumption focus of citizens. After the epidemic, overall consumption dropped, and it took almost a year to recover to the previous stage. After COVID-19, consumers are less willing to spend on service and this is the part that the government needs to put most effort on. After analyzing consumers’ consumption behavior, the government can make suitable policies to encourage consumption activities.
