Optimization of Multi-center Cold Chain Distribution Path Under Carbon Trading Policy

Aiming at the high energy consumption and carbon emissions of cold chain distribution, a multi-center cold chain distribution route optimization model considering carbon trading policy was constructed, and improved genetic algorithm was designed to solve it. The algorithm speeds up convergence by initial node allocation and introduces elite retention strategy. Finally, a simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the model and the algorithm. The research results can provide reference for multi-warehouse enterprises to construct fresh distribution network under carbon trading policy, reduce delivery cost and realize environmental friendliness.
