Cold Chain Logistics Distribution Route Optimization Considering Carbon Emission
The traditional economic cost is taken into consideration as the basis,and in addition,the potential carbon emis-sions during the distribution process are also taken into account.These carbon emissions are integrated into the objective func-tion as a carbon emission cost,resulting in the establishment of a cold chain logistics distribution model that takes carbon emis-sions into consideration.Furthermore,An improved ant colony algorithm is proposed by dynamically adjusting heuristic factors and pheromone updating strategies to optimize the traditional ant colony algorithm.Examples are provided to compare the per-formance of both versions of the ant colony algorithm with and without considering carbon emissions,as well as with and with-out using the improved version.The results demonstrate that both the model and algorithm exhibit superior optimization and con-vergence capabilities,thereby offering valuable insights for enhancing economic benefits within cold chain logistics enterprises.
