Research on Warehousing Resource Sharing Method Based on Evolutionary Game Theory

Warehousing sharing has become a new mode of logistic resource allocation, as it has the potential to improve the utilization of idle logistic resources and realize the benefit maximization of all stakeholders of logistics activities. Based on the hypothesis of bounded rational person, an evolutionary game method of warehousing sharing considering cloud platform, suppliers and demanders was proposed. Firstly, the utility function of supplier and demander were calculated by introducing the double auction mechanism. Secondly, replication dynamic equations were constructed to analyze the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) of the system. Finally, the influence of key variables on the intention of the strategy selection for the game subject was discussed. The result shows that:1) User scale, platform subsidy and resource transformation benefit are the key factors of the system. 2) The strategic choice of the cloud platform affects the participation of both parties. 3) Adjusting the supervision strategy of cloud platform can transfer the risks shared by suppliers and demanders.
