The train speed trajectory optimization (TSTO) aims at finding the optimal speed trajectory considering the safety, energy efficiency, punctuality and stopping accuracy. From the perspective of mitigating the greenhouse effect, it’s quite significant to study the TSTO problem. This paper proposed an optimization algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RL). Firstly, a global optimization model using RL was established. In the model, the control sequence including the control regimes and their switching points was taken as the state. The optimization objectives were taken as the reward function. The adjustment of the position of the switching points in the control sequence was taken as the decision space of the agent. Secondly, an adjustment method of the control sequence based on the deep Q-learning and embedding matrix was proposed. The training data was sampled using the experience replay. The optimal control sequence was obtained through the iterative training of the neural network. Finally, the optimization algorithm based on RL was compared with the driving strategies based on the Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle (PMP) and the field test data. The results show that the energy consumption of the proposed algorithm is reduced by 0.16% in comparison with that of the PMP, which proves that the proposed method can be applied to the multi-objective optimization of the train operation. Comparing with the field test data, the energy consumption of the optimization algorithm is reduced by 4.89%, which demonstrates that the proposed method can be used to guide the drivers to drive the freight train energy-efficiently.

China's shipping industry is developing rapidly, but there is a shortage of senior crew. Based on the basic data of Chinese sea-going ships, a linear weighted combination forecasting model based on regression forecasting method, quadratic exponential smoothing method, and GM (1,1) gray forecasting method was established, using average absolute deviation and residual standard deviation as indicators to evaluate the fitting accuracy of each single prediction model and combined prediction model. Although the forecast of the demand for Chinese sea-going crews from 2020 to 2029 shows a slight downward trend, some actions must be taken immediately to train more senior crews to alleviate the increasingly prominent imbalance between supply and demand.

Emergency logistics is an essential branch of modern logistics services, and the efficiency and safety of its transport have an important impact on maintaining social order after an emergency. When considering the location of emergency logistics distribution center, the lowest transportation cost should not be the main goal, but the shortest distribution distance should be designed and planned to ensure the timeliness and reliability of emergency supplies. This paper proposes a density coefficient optimization algorithm based on the backtracking algorithm. The results show that the algorithm reduces the complex iterative process in the backtracking step and can select the most suitable distribution centre location in a specific region, which has some practical significance for solving the location selection problem.

Integrated data and analytics (D&A) systems are recognized for their ability to help companies ensure they have the right people, technology, and processes in place to manage, operate, use, and protect data resources. It is critical for port companies to develop the right strategy to refine the architecture of their D&A systems and integrate their data resources.In this study, system dynamics simulation, and principal component analysis are used to help seaport companies improve D&A systems and maintain their competitiveness in the future. First, starting from the three key parts of personnel, technology, and process, a 3zy comprehensive evaluation model is developed to evaluate the maturity of the D&A system. Second, we use Vensim to conduct simulations and build a seaport system dynamics model. Then, analyze the causal relationship between various influencing factors, and explore the influence of various factors on the port. Third, through the principal component analysis method, clustering multiple indicators to determine the overall skill level of the company and the degree of cooperation between people, technology, and processes has an important impact on the D&A system. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to calculate the degree of influence on the analysis indicators when the uncertain factors change. The conclusions obtained show the scalability of the D&A system maturity model in other ports and industries.

In the face of the shortage of crew labor in the shipping market and the rising shipping companies, it is necessary to analyze the supply and demand situation in my country to ensure that the Chinese crew can develop in the direction of the dynamic balance of supply and demand. The senior crew put forward an effective labor resource allocation plan to improve shipping talents training program. Based on the number of in-service crew members of ships of 3,000 gross tonnages and above in my country's coastal navigation areas and the number of valid certificates held by senior crew members in each position, the actual number of in-service crew members will be used for demand. With the number of crew members holding valid certificates as the supply, a linear weighted combination prediction model based on quadratic exponential smoothing method, regression prediction method, and GM (1,1) grey prediction method is established to predict the number of senior seafarers for 2020-2026. Experimental research shows that from 2020 to 2026, the supply and demand of senior seafarers in my country's coastal areas are on the rise, but the supply is in short supply. In response to the problem of unbalanced development of supply and demand, it is necessary to strengthen school-enterprise cooperation, improve the attractiveness of seafarers, and pay attention to the career development planning of seafarers.

With the development of green transportation, many effective measures have been proposed in the waterway transport system. In order to save navigation costs and reduce carbon emissions under the emission control area (ECA) policy, this paper first establishes a mixed integer linear programming model to optimize the speed of the liner ship inside and outside the ECA; then a liner route is taken as an example to verify the model; finally, the speed optimization effect of the model under different fuel prices and carbon emission tax rates is analyzed through experiments. The results show that the proposed model can save voyage costs under the ECA policy and different carbon emission tax levels.
