2. Subjectivity Analysis and Characteristics of E-Commerce Logistics Cloud Service Platform
2.1. Demand Analysis of E-Commerce Logistics Cloud Service
From the standpoint of enterprises, below the heritage of “Internet plus” and cloud computing, statistics fragmentation and centralization emerge as common traits of regional logistics informatization. However, the mode of regular single logistics corporation offering logistics offerings for a couple of clients has been challenging to meet the personalized market demand. Modern logistics enterprises must change the enterprise organization mode of the traditional logistics era, actively develop demand-driven and open platform logistics, that is, the operation mode of multiagent cooperation, and integrate social logistics resources to carry out regional logistics service; through the economies of scale, we should reduce the unit cost, realize the long tail effect, and amortize the logistics cost. From the perspective of customers, all logistics activities are driven by customers’ needs, and customers’ customized needs become diversified under the promotion of network technology.
2.2. Analysis of the Subjectivity of Logistics Cloud Service
Combined with the demand of regional logistics collaboration and the characteristics of cloud computing technology, the regional logistics cloud service mode oriented to cloud computing environment is defined as follows: in the cloud computing environment, integrating online platform and offline logistics subject, virtualizing and integrating all kinds of idle logistics resources distributed in the region, forming a regional logistics resource pool, and regional logistics operators design a scheme according to the needs of users to provide regional logistics business. In traditional regional logistics, the main body is the economic organization that directly participates or specializes in logistics activities, including cargo logistics enterprises, first-party logistics, second-party logistics, cooperative logistics enterprises, regional logistics enterprises, storage and transportation enterprises, and cloud service providers. Regional logistics cloud service mode is a service mode that provides information on sharing methods and joint working environment for the logistics situation of interconnected enterprises and regions. It can run the tasks submitted by users in a dynamic and real-time virtual resource pool and realize the value-added service of regional logistics [17]. In the regional logistics cloud service mode oriented to cloud computing environment, the concept of each subject is more abundant. According to the different roles in logistics activities, the subjects of regional logistics cloud service can be divided into three categories: the supplier of logistics, the demander of consumption logistics, and the operator of logistics management. (1) Demand subject: the demand subject refers to the consignor or who does not have logistics resources and expects to exchange the service of the supplier with lower cost and time. (2) Supply subject: the supply subject is undertaken by scattered vehicle owners, logistics parks, third-party logistics enterprises, and other entities with logistics resources, as well as financial and insurance institutions. It provides actual logistics services for the demanders and realizes value-added in the form of leasing and transferring logistics resources. (3) Operator: the operator is the regional core leading logistics enterprise, which integrates, dispatches, and optimizes the online services for the demanders and suppliers within a limited time, and collects certain service management profits. There is a relatively equal cooperative relationship between the operation subject and other subjects, which provides users with integrated online logistics services through resource sharing, information integration, collaborative operation, and other solutions. The relationship between the relevant subjects is shown in Figure 2.
Operators set up regional logistics cloud carrier platform and always enhance the characteristic of cloud platform. Logistics carriers register and log in to the cloud carrier platform to structure a cloud pool of logistics resources. Demanders register and log in to the cloud provider platform to build a logistics demand order library. It is possible to initiate and question applicable logistics equipment, requirements, and carrier facts through the cloud provider platform [18]. Operators integrate the logistics demand in a period of time and space, form the optimal logistics service scheme, allocate various logistics resources of logistics suppliers according to orders, form a logistics chain, and ensure the efficient coordination of the whole chain logistics. Therefore, from the perspective of service orientation, the fourth party logistics service is closer to the service mode of this paper, both of which emphasize openness, dynamic, sharing, and integration.
2.3. The Process of Logistics Cloud Service
In the technique of regional logistics cloud service, the principal physique is complex, the house is wide, and the market demand is changeable. If there is no scientific corporation method, it might also lead to the imbalance of hobbies among the predominant physique of regional logistics [19]. The manner of regional logistics cloud carrier is proven in Figure 3.
Firstly, the logistics demand is confirmed according to the customer’s order, and the demand is decomposed into several feasible subtasks; then, the logistics capability of cooperative logistics enterprises is evaluated according to the logistics distribution task, and the logistics enterprises that meet the capability requirements get the task through bidding [20]. If the logistics enterprise does not meet the capability requirements, it searches through the cloud platform and uses the supplier matching algorithm of regional logistics distribution to calculate the matching degree and complete the decision. All participants in the logistics cloud service are dynamically self-organized to form a regional logistics coordination service chain and provide a high-quality regional logistics service scheme for customers. The cloud service mode of regional logistics express is shown in Figure 4.
Regional logistics enterprises directly receive the order information of logistics consumers and analyze the carrying capacity information of cooperative logistics enterprises. If the carrying capacity meets the order requirements, they directly release the scheduling information to the cooperative logistics capacity unit; otherwise, they analyze and match again [21]. Logistics consumers can send the goods to the designated receiving point by themselves or wait for the cooperative logistics transportation unit to pick up the goods. The realization method of regional logistics service should be designed and implemented according to the types of various logistics resources, the existing businesses of enterprises, and the customized contents proposed by users. Figure 5 describes the process and method of implementing regional logistics distribution cloud service.
The logistics enterprise is a nonstop 24-hour industry, with ubiquitous data grasp and series terminals, gathering records for the logistics enterprise all the time. How to decrease the scale of mass logistics facts besides dropping its cost and how to extract excessive value-added statistics from it for upkeep are the first troubles to be solved in the new era of logistics administration system. With the improvement of personalization and informatization of the logistics industry, it is greater and extra necessary to meet the personalized and different wishes of logistics carrier demanders with excessive efficiency, excessive pace, and excessive quality. In order to highly meet the wishes of logistics carrier demanders, resource integration and effective allocation in logistics enterprises are also interrelated. The integration and distribution of logistics assets generally include mergers and acquisitions and strategic alliances as well as useful resource sharing platforms. Its openness, collaboration, and efficiency are widely recognized. With the improvement of cloud logistics, logistics sources are embodied in the shape of cloud logistics services. Customers search and achieve the required logistics offerings through the cloud logistics provider platform and recognize the allocation and use of cloud logistics assets going through logistics duties below the operation of the platform [22]. Cloud logistics provider platform is record storage and carrier center constructed by way of an expert third-party operation carrier issuer underneath the cloud computing platform. It participates in the audit and administration of logistics resources, integrates logistics sources and purchaser resources, virtualizes logistics assets into logistics offerings for storage and configuration, and customizes and offers clients safe, efficient, high-quality, low-cost, bendy, and variable customized logistics, offering the new logistics carrier mode of logistics. Through the description of the cloud logistics carrier platform, it is now not challenging to locate the following variations between cloud logistics carrier platform and normal logistics carrier platform. Figure 6 indicates the distribution method in the e-commerce logistics cloud.(1)Cloud logistics provider platform is extra bendy to deal with logistics tasks, which can meet the varied wishes of logistics tasks. Compared with the regular single and restrained logistics service, cloud logistics carrier platform integrates the logistics assets of logistics useful resource providers and can cooperate with logistics assets to lift out logistics things to do in accordance to the customized logistics provider demand, so as to grant an environment friendly and built-in logistics carrier chain.(2)Cloud logistics carrier platform integrates the scattered logistics assets and improves the utilization price of logistics resources. Based on the logistics assets below the cloud logistics provider platform, which have the traits of decentralization, move organization, and move region, the cloud logistics carrier platform makes use of virtualization science to put the dispersed logistics resources, transportation, and storage ability into the cloud logistics aid pool for unified management and whole the operation cooperatively. Under the mode of cloud logistics provider platform, via cloud computing technology, the present logistics aid providers’ logistics assets and logistics competencies are virtualized and built in to structure a cloud logistics aid pool. According to the personalized wants of logistics carrier demanders, an entire logistics aid carrier furnish chain is formed.(3)Cloud logistics provider platform video displays units, manages the entire existence cycle of logistics tasks, and improves the first-class of logistics services. The cloud logistics provider platform begins the logistics mission things to do after the feasibility planning and evaluation of the logistics task. The logistics carrier demander can reveal the total logistics things to do in actual time via GPS, RFID [23, 24], and different technologies. After the logistics distribution activities, clients can remark on the logistics provider quality.
2.4. Simulation Experiment and Result Analysis
In order to affirm the rationality of the proposed logistics cloud challenge scheduling mannequin based totally on cellular conversation and the effectiveness of the algorithm, a simulation scan is carried out. In order to enforce the simulation, the mannequin is simplified, and the complicated multiobjective optimization trouble is changed to a single goal optimization trouble via the desire vector.
2.5. Test and Analysis of Convergence Rate
The genetic algorithm and open-source algorithm on Python are used to simulate the model proposed in this paper. Set the maximum service time of 12 hours per day, select the preference vector as λ (0.4, 0.4, 0.2), and pay more attention to the scheduling time and resource utilization. The optimal scheduling scheme is obtained by simulation, as shown in Figure 7.
(a)
(b)
Figure 7(a) shows the change of scheduling cost, from which we can see that the cost in the scheduling process gradually decreases with the increase of algorithm iterations, from the initial unit cost of nearly 200 to 120. Then it gradually decreased to about 80. The genetic algorithm shows the ability of efficient and accurate solution in these 100 generations of iterations. Figure 7(b) shows the total time trend. It can be seen from the figure that the total time decreases rapidly with the number of iterations, from more than 1000 at the beginning to about 500 at last, and keeps stable for a period, reducing by 50%. From the above simulation results, the fitness function value can converge after 100 generations of iterative calculation using the genetic algorithm described in this paper.
The model is solved by randomly generated initial particle swarm optimization with a scale of 30. The simulation results are shown in Figure 8. After meeting various constraints, a complete set of nondominated solution sets can be obtained. The average total price of logistics service is 27490 yuan and the service time is 19 days. The average price of the nondominated solution is 18870 yuan, and the service time is about 17.5 days. When the population reaches 1000 generations, the average price of the noninferior solution set logistics service is 17750 yuan, and the service time is about 15.7 days.
2.6. Optimization Results of Line Load Rate
When the initial demand and quotation of each route are known, we can get the capacity of each route in the initial state, initialize the population by solving the feasible solution randomly, and cross and mutate within the scope of the feasible solution. In order to ensure the diversity of the solution, the following results are obtained through MATLAB calculation: after the optimization calculation, the overload demand of the transportation demand distribution can be adjusted to zero transportation.
Figure 9 shows the comparison of load rate before and after optimization. The data calculation and analysis of particle swarm optimization algorithm are more complex, and MATLAB has a powerful matrix operation function and graphical display function, so this example writes program code on the mathematical simulation software MATLAB to realize the solution of particle swarm optimization algorithm. The algorithm parameters are set as follows: the population size is 30, the external set size is 50, the maximum number of iterations is 1000, and the maximum number of cooperative enterprises is 5.
(a)
(b)
The simulation results in Figure 10 show that the multiobjective optimal service composition algorithm based on improved particle swarm optimization has better convergence and better solution effect. Finally, we find that there are 30 Pareto optimal solutions, and all solutions in the outer set are nondominated and uncorrelated. The solutions in the solution set are put into the graph according to the grid. The grid width in the figure is 0.4 and 400, respectively, resulting in 25 grids. The solutions are basically published in seven of them. From the front-end curve of nondominated solutions, the lowest price of 30 solutions is 16580, the highest price is 18500, the average is 1775, and the service time is 15 days to 17.5 days. The difference of objective function value of the nondominated solution is small, especially for the solution in the same grid, the difference of service price is only 400 yuan at most, and the difference of service time is more than 3 hours at most. In order to promote the healthy development of the logistics service industry, when presenting the query results of the service portfolio to customers, the presentation of time and price should be handled slightly, and the service portfolio in the same grid should be sorted according to the degree of complementarity.
