报告摘要:In logistics field, shiftlevel demand forecasting within large-scale networks is highly complex due to high-dimensional and uncertain demand dynamics. Existing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) struggle with this spatio-temporal task in volatile logistics environments due to two key limitations: a reliance on homogeneous time grids—which are inconsistent with actual asynchronous shifts—and the neglect of valuable route-specific metadata. To fully exploit GNNs, we propose restructuring temporally heterogeneous shifts into an activity network. This representation retains rich route-specific metadata and enables effective shift-level forecasting using route-planning data. To address the high volatility and execution discrepancies inherent in logistics planning, we further introduce a novel EdgeEnhanced Attention Graph (EEAG) model. EEAG effectively captures edge information, propagates spatio-temporal network effects, and mitigates the impact of input noise. We demonstrate that EEAG outperforms existing methods in both accuracy and robustness on a real, large-scale dataset from a leading logistics company, comprising over 1 million demand quantities across 2, 000+ shifts at 800+ freight transfer stations over 490 days. Compared to the best-performing baseline, EEAG reduces the forecast WMAPE by approximately 16%. This improvement facilitates effective resource allocation and route optimization, leading to over 10 million USD in annual cost savings (about 30,000 USD per day) for the company.
