Chinese scholars have made progress in the study of container transportation scheduling for port logistics

China is a port power, and seven of the world's top ten container ports are in China
.

With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (approval number: 72025103), Professor Zhen Lu of Shanghai University and its corporate collaborators conducted a systematic study
on the scheduling of import and export container transportation for port logistics.

The research results are integrated into the scheduling system of Yunfeng International Logistics Company as an intelligent decision-making module, which mainly focuses on the company's mathematical model-based cluster scheduling optimization decisions for "door-to-door task orders" and "warehouse task orders" between port empty/heavy container yards and customer warehouses
。 Compared with the manual decision-making method previously adopted by the company, the new method based on the mathematical programming model proposed by this research can help the company significantly reduce the use of logistics personnel and transport vehicles, saving the company about 13.
