“…e Internet economy, represented by e-commerce, has brought an unprecedented impact on the physical stores of different formats such as department stores and supermarkets, overturning the traditional retail distribution model, and an increasing number of retailers are getting involved online. However, in recent years, with the disappearance of the traffic dividend, the cost of Internet traffic is getting higher and higher, making the operating costs of e-commerce also rising year by year, coupled with the poor experience of e-commerce platform, low quality of service, and other outstanding issues which have never been effectively resolved, and so e-commerce companies began to encounter development bottlenecks [5].…”

With the rapid development of computer technology and information industry technology, the use of these technologies has been deeply applied to the management of various industries. Data time-sharing transmission can solve the problem that the system is not affected by the network; that is, it makes good use of the network and is not bound by the network. Even when the network speed is low or the network is not smooth, the system of each store can run normally, and when the network is smooth, the data will be uploaded in packets and automatically received by the server. The system is well designed with functional modules’ management, including sports goods import and export management, inventory management, membership management, and ledger management. System operation can well solve the coordination work between the head office and stores; the head office can master the operation of each store, check the generated ledger at any time, form statistical reports, and guide the operation status of each store so that the stores can adjust their operation methods and learn from each other at any time. The system network management can make valuable data information aggregated, rather than single data. The head office can make overall data backup promptly to provide good logistic support for each store.

“…A significant segment of this transport is carried out by sea transport. At the same time, the peculiarities of loading and transporting containers by sea are highlighted in research works [1][2][3][4][5][6]. To improve the efficiency of this type of transport, container trains are being transported by sea (see Figure 1).…”

Dynamic Load Modelling within Combined Transport Trains during Transportation on a Railway Ferry

The development of foreign economic activity of the Eurasian states led to the introduction of rail and ferry transportation. It is important to note that the current normative documentation does not fully cover the issues of transporting combined trains by sea. This can lead to a violation of the traffic safety of both the railway ferry and the transport of containers as part of combined trains by sea. In this connection, we investigated the dynamic loading of a container as part of a combined train when transported by a railway ferry. To ensure the stability of the container relative to the frame, we suggested an improvement of the load-bearing structure of a flat wagon. Additionally, we suggested the use of a viscous linkage between containers with the aim of reducing their dynamic load. To justify the suggested solutions, we carried out a mathematical modelling of the container dynamic load. The calculation was performed in MathCad. Due to the fact that the container has its own degree of freedom when transported by sea, the accelerations were separately determined for the supporting structure of the flat wagon and for the container. We found that the total amount of acceleration that acted on the container was 3.57 m/s2 (0.36 g) and on the load-bearing structure of the wagon was 2.47 m/s2 (0.25 g) which were, respectively, 38% and 23% less than the acceleration values in the typical scheme of their interaction. To determine the fields of acceleration distribution relative to the load-bearing structure of a flat wagon with containers, we carried out computer modelling of their dynamic load. The maximum percentage of discrepancy between the accelerations obtained by mathematical and computer modelling was 17.7%. The study will contribute to the creation of recommendations for the safe transport of combined trains by sea, as well as to increasing the efficiency of combined transport through international transport corridors.

“…Third, terminal operations research also focuses on the connectivity of terminals to landside transportation modes, i.e., rail transport, inland barges and trucking. Typical research themes in this field include the truck gate process optimization problem, gate appointment systems, the equipment assignment problem and the spatial and temporal separation of transport modes on a terminal, see Zhang et al (2019) and Azab et al (2020) for an overview.…”

This paper presents a generic simulation model to determine the equipment mix (quay, yard and intra-terminal transfer) for a Container Terminal Logistics Operations System (CTLOS). The simulation model for the CTLOS, a typical type of discrete event dynamic system (DEDS), consists of three sub-models: ship queue, loading-unloading operations and yard-gate operations. The simulation model is empirically applied to phase 1 of the Yangshan Deep Water Port in Shanghai. This study considers different scenarios in terms of container throughput levels, equipment utilization rates, and operational bottlenecks, and presents a sensitivity analysis to evaluate and choose reasonable equipment ratio ranges under different operational conditions.
