Abstract: To provide superior on-line shopping experiences and maintain sustained profitability,e-commerce logistics companies need design an effective dispatching wave policy strategy to handle the tradeoff between the advantage of economies of scale and fast-pace delivery services.A multi-agent-based simulation framework is proposed,where business processes in logistics are built as different nodes in the simulation network.Case studies are conducted to test the order delivery process with various wave strategies in the Beijing metropolitan area.Experimental results show that situation-dependent wave strategies are sensitive to different patterns of online shopping demands.

System Simulation Study On Influences Of Oil Price, Policy And Public Opinion On Travel, Yijun Liu, Mengwei Li, Lian Ying

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: With the advancement of urbanization, environmental problems such as traffic congestion and automobile exhaust pollution have received widespread attention, which made it of great significance to rationally adjust and guide people to choose green travel modes to optimize the structure of consumer travel. By constructing agent-based binary and ternary consumer driving state simulation models, three measures that may affect the consumer travel, namely, oil price regulation, policy intervention and public opinion guidance are researched, in order to explore the most influential measures, and how the three measures are more suitable for guiding healthy travel and optimizing urban road conditions, …
