A multi-objective optimization model for the location of cold chain logistics distribution center based on trust domain optimization algorithm

Abstract

Cold chain transportation refers to a logistics method that transports fresh, perishable, and perishable items from the place of production, processing or warehouse to the place of consumption under certain temperature conditions. As consumers have higher and higher requirements for food safety and quality, the cold chain logistics industry has also developed rapidly. However, the high cost of cold chain logistics, the difficulty of technology, the difficulty of ensuring service quality and other problems have also arisen, and how to optimize cold chain transportation has become a hot issue in the cold chain logistics industry. Cold chain transportation optimization refers to the premise of ensuring the quality and safety of goods, through reasonable transportation paths, transportation methods, temperature control and other measures, to minimize the cost of cold chain transportation, improve efficiency and service quality. In order to achieve the optimization of cold chain transportation, it is necessary to establish a reliable cold chain logistics distribution center to ensure the safety and quality of goods during transportation. In order to solve the problem of location selection of cold chain logistics distribution center, this paper first defines the service reliability and calculation method of cold chain distribution center. Then, the location model of the cold chain logistics distribution center and the trust domain optimization algorithm model were established. The model aims to minimize the total cost, while considering multiple factors such as transportation distance, temperature control, facility construction, etc., to ensure the reliability and operational efficiency of the cold chain logistics distribution center. Finally, this paper introduces an example for calculation to prove the feasibility and universality of the model in the location problem of cold chain logistics distribution center. Through the calculation of examples, it can be seen that the model can effectively reduce the cost of cold chain transportation and improve the service quality and efficiency of cold chain logistics distribution center. In summary, this paper proposes a reliable location model and trust domain optimization algorithm model for cold chain logistics distribution centers to solve the challenges faced by the cold chain logistics industry. This model can provide guidance for cold chain logistics companies to gain a greater advantage in a highly competitive market.
