Automatic Scheduling Method for Customs Inspection Vehicle Relocation Based on Automotive Electronic Identification and Biometric Recognition

This study presents an innovative automatic scheduling method for the relocation of customs inspection vehicles, leveraging Vehicle Electronic Identification (EVI) and biometric recognition technologies. With the expansion of global trade, customs authorities face increasing pressure to enhance logistics efficiency. Traditional vehicle scheduling often relies on manual processes and simplistic algorithms, resulting in prolonged waiting times and inefficient resource allocation. This research addresses these challenges by integrating EVI and biometric systems into a comprehensive framework aimed at improving vehicle scheduling. The proposed method utilizes genetic algorithms and intelligent optimization techniques to dynamically allocate resources and prioritize vehicle movements based on real-time data. EVI technology facilitates rapid identification of vehicles entering customs facilities, while biometric recognition ensures that only authorized personnel can operate specific vehicles. This dual-layered approach enhances security and streamlines the inspection process, significantly reducing delays. A thorough analysis of the existing literature on customs vehicle scheduling identifies key limitations in current methodologies. The automatic scheduling algorithm is detailed, encompassing vehicle prioritization criteria, dynamic path planning, and real-time driver assignment. The genetic algorithm framework allows for adaptive responses to varying operational conditions. Extensive simulations using real-world data from customs operations validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results indicate a significant reduction in vehicle waiting times—up to 30%—and an increase in resource utilization rates by approximately 25%. These findings demonstrate the potential of integrating EVI and biometric technologies to transform customs logistics management. Additionally, a comparison against state-of-the-art scheduling algorithms, such as NSGA-II and MOEA/D, reveals superior efficiency and adaptability. This research not only addresses pressing challenges faced by customs authorities but also contributes to optimizing logistics operations more broadly. In conclusion, the automatic scheduling method presented represents a significant advancement in customs logistics, providing a robust solution for managing complex vehicle scheduling scenarios. Future research directions will focus on refining the algorithm to handle peak traffic periods and exploring predictive analytics for enhanced scheduling optimization. Advancements in the intersection of technology and logistics aim to support more efficient and secure customs operations globally.

Abstract

This study presents an innovative automatic scheduling method for the relocation of customs inspection vehicles, leveraging Vehicle Electronic Identification (EVI) and biometric recognition technologies. With the expansion of global trade, customs authorities face increasing pressure to enhance logistics efficiency. Traditional vehicle scheduling often relies on manual processes and simplistic algorithms, resulting in prolonged waiting times and inefficient resource allocation. This research addresses these challenges by integrating EVI and biometric systems into a comprehensive framework aimed at improving vehicle scheduling. The proposed method utilizes genetic algorithms and intelligent optimization techniques to dynamically allocate resources and prioritize vehicle movements based on real-time data. EVI technology facilitates rapid identification of vehicles entering customs facilities, while biometric recognition ensures that only authorized personnel can operate specific vehicles. This dual-layered approach enhances security and streamlines the inspection process, significantly reducing delays. A thorough analysis of the existing literature on customs vehicle scheduling identifies key limitations in current methodologies. The automatic scheduling algorithm is detailed, encompassing vehicle prioritization criteria, dynamic path planning, and real-time driver assignment. The genetic algorithm framework allows for adaptive responses to varying operational conditions. Extensive simulations using real-world data from customs operations validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results indicate a significant reduction in vehicle waiting times—up to 30%—and an increase in resource utilization rates by approximately 25%.
