Optimizing the Cold Chain Logistics Distribution Path in O2O Mode Under Low Carbon Perspective
摘要
To address the issues of low delivery efficiency, high carbon emissions, and elevated distribution costs in fresh cold chain logistics under the O2O mode, a comprehensive optimization model is constructed. This model considers business profitability, environmental benefits, fresh product characteristics, and customer timeliness requirements to optimize cold chain logistics distribution paths in the O2O mode. A three-stage algorithm comprising region partitioning, region adjustment, and path optimization is designed to solve this NP-hard problem. In the first stage, delivery regions are initially partitioned using the K-Means clustering algorithm. In the second stage, load balance indicators are introduced to adjust the delivery regions. In the third stage, a genetic algorithm is designed to solve the optimal delivery paths for each region. Empirical results show that after region partitioning and adjustment, delivery distance decreases by 15.39%, and early or delayed delivery rates decrease by 59.08%, significantly improving delivery efficiency. Furthermore, considering carbon emissions, a single delivery center can reduce daily emissions by 23.13%, resulting in a 22.98% cost saving for businesses. These results validate the scientific and practical effectiveness of the model and provide valuable references for similar logistics enterprises.
