Abstract

The variety and output of fresh agricultural products are increasing, which puts forward higher requirements for cold chain logistics and distribution. In the cold chain logistics system, distribution is a key link, which requires higher transportation technology and transportation environment. Route optimization of distribution links is extremely important in logistics optimization, and it is an indispensable part of distribution process optimization. However, problems such as unreasonable delivery time of trucks and long driving distance of empty cars often occur today. In order to improve this phenomenon, we should optimize the cold chain logistics distribution path of fresh agricultural products, improve the efficiency of cold chain logistics, reduce the distribution cost of fresh agricultural products and meet people's demand for fresh agricultural products. In this paper, an optimization model of fresh cold chain route distribution with comprehensive cost based on genetic algorithm is established, and the optimal distribution scheme with the minimum total distribution cost under the condition of meeting the customer's time window is studied. By scientifically and reasonably optimizing the cold chain logistics distribution vehicle route, the goals of reducing distribution cost, ensuring cold chain product quality and improving customer satisfaction can be achieved.
