Research on Vehicle Routing Optimization of Urban Logistics Distribution Based on Carbon Trading Mechanism

Abstract

The study of vehicle routing problem under the carbon trading mechanism is essential for reducing carbon emissions in the process of logistics delivery and optimizing enterprise costs. To solve the vehicle routing problem under the carbon trading mechanism, this paper introduces the calculation method of carbon transaction cost, which integrates the time cost, fuel consumption cost, vehicle use cost and carbon transaction cost as the total cost. On the basis of the traditional vehicle routing problem, the objective function is constructed with the minimum total cost as the objective, and the research model is determined. Genetic algorithm is used to arrange the nodes on the distribution path, followed by simulation analysis. Using MATLAB simulation, the minimum cost of the delivery task is determined under the simulated scene of the completion of 10 delivery point tasks in several vehicles, and the number of the distribution vehicles and the route of the distribution vehicle are obtained.
