Abstract

Abstract:

The accelerated trend of shipping digitization highlights the problems existing in the daily operation of shipping logistics enterprises, such as the lack of automation of service matching and settlement, the lack of transparency of business data, and the lack of credible evidence. With the characteristics of transparency and credibility, blockchain can help to solve problems with digital transformation by combining technologies such as Internet of things and digital currency. Based on ant colony algorithm, smart contract, Internet of things and digital currency, this paper realizes automatic matching of shipping service, reliable tracking of transportation process and efficient settlement of shipping freight. The simulation results on Ethereum test chain show that the transformation scheme can reduce the cost of operation and settlement internally and enhance the transparency and credibility of business information externally, which can improve the competitiveness of shipping logistics enterprises.

Key words: blockchain, enterprise digital transformation, ant colony algorithm, Internet of things, smart contract, digital currency

摘要：

近年来航运业数字化的加速，凸显出传统航运物流企业日常运营中存在的服务匹配与结算缺乏自动化、业务数据因缺乏透明度而不作为可信证据采信等问题。区块链具有的透明化与可信等特点可以结合物联网与数字货币等技术帮助航运物流企业以数字化转型针对性地解决问题。因此，通过分析合理转型路径，设计基于“蚁群-智能合约”算法作航运服务自动化匹配、基于区块链与物联网提供运输进程可靠追踪服务及基于数字货币实现海运运费高效结算。以太坊测试链上的模拟结果表明了转型方案的有效性，其对内降低运营与结算成本、对外增强业务信息透明度与可信度的价值，提高了航运物流企业的竞争力。
