The Platform

A three-layer architecture, working as one

Each layer produces what the next consumes: scenarios feed the logistics agents, and the realized risk distribution drives hedging decisions — a closed loop of AI decisions.

01

Layer 1 · Generative Scenario Engine

Generative Scenario Engine

Learns the joint distribution of prices, demand and geopolitics, then samples thousands of realistic futures. Every logistics and hedging decision is stress-tested against the full ensemble.

  • Probabilistic price & demand paths
  • Regime-switching shocks
  • 100-path ensembles in ms

02

Layer 2 · MADRL Logistics Coordinator

MADRL Logistics Coordinator

A fleet of RL agents — one per terminal, carrier and corridor — negotiate dispatch, routing and inventory policy in real time, balancing service reliability against operating cost.

  • Decentralized policy learning
  • Real-time re-routing
  • Service reliability +23.8%

03

Layer 3 · Financial Risk Module

Financial Risk Module

Translates scenario distributions into optimal hedge positions under Value-at-Risk and Conditional VaR constraints, continuously rebalancing across futures, options and swaps.

  • Minimum-variance hedge ratios
  • VaR / CVaR constraints
  • −31.2% risk reduction

AI-Driven Digital Transformation in Petroleum Product Distribution: A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning and Generative Modeling Approach

The distribution of petroleum products is a high-stakes, multi-scale optimization problem: decisions at the terminal, fleet, and financial layers interact under deep uncertainty in prices, demand, and geopolitics. This work introduces a three-layer AI platform. Layer 1 embeds a generative scenario engine built on time-series diffusion models that produce realistic price and demand paths. Layer 2 coordinates logistics with a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) framework that balances service reliability, inventory cost, and utilization. Layer 3 couples the scenario distribution to a financial risk module performing dynamic hedging under VaR and CVaR constraints. Across a simulated US network of 10 terminals, 20 heterogeneous carriers and 5 pipelines, the platform reduces delivered cost by 17.3%, improves service reliability by 23.8%, cuts value-at-risk by 31.2%, and delivers a five-year ROI of 1,332% versus the static baseline.
