Abstract
The current cold chain logistics management and distribution routes generally face problems such as environmental pollution and high costs. Therefore, the study proposed an improved fireworks-artificial bee colony for optimizing delivery paths. Firstly, the artificial bee colony was improved by using neighborhood search. Secondly, for the optimal solution, the fireworks explosion operator was used for the final result search. The benchmark function validation showed that the proposed algorithm performed better than other algorithms in solving optimal value, average value, and standard deviation. In the simulation analysis of a fresh enterprise in China, the total delivery cost was reduced by an average of 3.30% and 4.93% compared to other algorithms, considering carbon emission and not considering it, respectively. This proposed algorithm had more advantages in reducing quality loss, pollutant emissions, and CE. Therefore, this improved fireworks-artificial bee colony can effectively reduce the economic costs and environmental pollution of cold chain logistics distribution routes. This ensures economic benefits while considering social benefits, achieving the optimal path planning for logistics distribution.
