Abstract

With the logistic challenges brought by the growth in demand for fresh agricultural products and the perishable characteristics, the optimisation of the cold chain logistics system and distribution paths has become the key to the industry. In this study, a multi-objective optimisation model integrating economic cost, carbon dioxide emission, time window constraints and carbon trading mechanism is constructed to address the problems of high cost and high carbon emission of cold chain distribution. Experiments based on the Solomon dataset show that the improved ant colony algorithm reduces the total cost by 12.7% while reducing carbon emissions by 15.3% compared with the traditional method, which verifies the effectiveness of the model in balancing economic and environmental benefits. The research results provide decision support for fresh food logistics enterprises to achieve green and sustainable development.
