Research on long-distance cold chain logistics route optimization considering transport vibration and refrigerant carbon emission
ITQM(2022)
Abstract
The long-distance cold chain transportation of fresh products from the place of origin to sale is costly due to the high probability of spoilage and high carbon emissions. The potential factors for the high cost of long-distance cold chain transportation are the spoilage of fresh goods caused by transportation vibration and the carbon emission caused by refrigerant use. How to minimize the impact of these factors through optimal transportation route planning is the current problem to be solved. Firstly, a longdistance cold chain logistics route planning model including goods spoilage cost and carbon emission cost is developed, considering the goods spoilage cost caused by transportation vibration and the carbon emission cost generated by refrigerant as well as several other factors. Secondly, an improved ant colony algorithm is used to solve the optimal solution of the model, and the algorithm is redesigned for the characteristics of the model. Thirdly, the pheromone update mechanism in the ant colony algorithm is improved by adding pheromone coefficients to accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm. Finally, the validity of the model is verified by an arithmetic example. The model and method proposed in this paper help to reduce the cost in the process of long-distance cold chain transportation and bring practical application value.
