Heuristic swarm intelligent optimization algorithm for path planning of agricultural product logistics distribution

Abstract

In the current agricultural product consumption market, the consumer’s demand for agricultural products tends to be diversified and individualized, and they need stricter links of cold chain logistics distribution of agricultural products. The cold chain logistics of fresh agricultural products is also the business of high energy consumption and high carbon emission in the logistics industry. The contradictory relationship between it and the “low-carbon economy” advocated today leads to the necessity to consider the relationship between economic benefit and environmental impact in the process of rapid development. Based on this, this paper, from the perspective of low-carbon economy, based on the analysis of the necessity of optimizing the distribution path of cold chain logistics of agricultural products, constructs a model for this and puts forward a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm-particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The algorithm is improved from inertia weight, convergence factor, learning factor, and population size and so on. The optimized PSO algorithm is compared with the traditional PSO algorithm. Finally, the simulation results show that the improved algorithm can be used to optimize the distribution path of cold chain logistics of agricultural products effectively, and the specific optimization countermeasures are put forward according to the actual situation.
