Deep Learning Empowered Intermodal Path Optimization in Logistics: Deep Shortest Approach
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This is particularly important in logistics, where path planning is critical for adequate transport and distribution processes. That is why classical approaches like Dijkstra’s algorithm have been essential, though they are too weak to handle the complications typical of actual logistics networks. To this end, this paper proposes a new framework called DeepShortest, which improves the path optimization process of logistics using deep learning methods. DeepShortest uses the deep learning neural network for training and flexibility in the complexity of various logistical contexts. Thus, DeepShortest successfully implements deep learning within the base of Dijkstra’s algorithm to deliver a high result in finding the shortest and most effective paths for transporting goods through global logistics chains. In this paper, the DEEP Define strategy describes how deep learning methodologies are cast into the path optimization component of the DeepShortest approach. In addition, real-world logistics case studies substantiate the effectiveness and advantage of DeepShortest compared with previous methods, generally providing stepped-up route performance and resource management. DeepShortest is an innovative approach to solving logistics path optimization problems and is a creative and effective solution for issues in today’s supply chain. With their capacity to work in areas where conditions change often and to suggest optimal paths for delivery vehicles, DeepShortest presents itself as an invaluable resource that could drastically transform logistics worldwide.
