Abstract

The vehicle routing problem of dairy cold chain end distribution with random demand and time window is investigated in this paper. Considering the characteristics of dairy cold chain end distribution, the chance constrained theory and the penalty function is introduced to establish a mathematical model of this problem. A scanning-insert algorithm to solve the model is proposed. The algorithm can be described as: firstly, according to the capacity of the vehicle and time window restrictions, the customers are divide into several groups by scan algorithm; then find a feasible routing line for each group of customers; finally, using the idea of recent insertion method to adjust the vehicle route and find the final optimal distribution vehicle route.
