One-to-One Logistics-Client Stable Matching

Facing the circumstance of high ELDR (empty loaded driving ratio) on logistics, a stable matching method is applied in the logistics selection optimizing problem. Firstly, the preferences of logistics providers and clients are analyzed respectively. Then, according to the preferences, the satisfaction matrixes of "logistics providers to clients" and "clients to logistics providers" are calculated based on the TOPSIS method. Next, the corresponding mathematical model is constructed, where the stable matching condition is embedded as a constraint into the optimization model, which aims to maximize the whole satisfaction of both sides. Finally, by studying case, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach are verified as the average ELDR on logistics is greatly reduced.
