Abstract

Due to the perishable nature of dairy products, dairy cold chain logistics has high requirements for temperature control and distribution timeliness. This paper aims to optimize urban dairy cold chain logistics to minimize the total distribution cost by reducing delivery time, lowering cargo loss, and ensuring the quality of dairy products. First, a multi-objective mathematical model is constructed that integrates fixed cost, transportation cost, cargo damage cost, refrigeration cost, penalty cost, and carbon emission cost, while fully considering the perish ability of dairy products during transportation and loading/unloading. Second, a hybrid genetic algorithm combining the A* algorithm and genetic algorithm is designed to solve the model. Finally, the results show that the hybrid genetic algorithm outperforms the single genetic algorithm in cost reduction, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
