Abstract

The work aims to address the issues of reduced remaining shelf-life of fresh aquatic products and increased distribution costs under traffic congestion interference. A cold chain logistics distribution route interference management model (VRP-TC) that considered the remaining shelf-life was proposed. A three-level interference model of "traffic disruption-primary congestion-secondary congestion" was constructed, where congestion areas were dynamically divided based on the composite circle radius and different speed penalty coefficients were set. Taking the remaining shelf-life as a key consideration, an exponential shelf-life loss cost function was established, with the goal of minimizing the total cost (including fixed costs, transportation costs, refrigeration costs, and shelf-life loss costs). To solve the model efficiently, an improved genetic algorithm combined with a simulated annealing mechanism was designed, which adopted a twin mutation operator and a PMX (Partially Mapped Crossover) strategy to improve convergence speed and avoid local optimality. Verification based on Solomon test instances shows that: by proactively avoiding congestion areas, the VRP-TC model reduces the shelf-life loss cost by 28.4%-31.3% and the total cost by 6.7%-7.0%, which can significantly improve the distribution timeliness and the ability to ensure product freshness.
