Research on Optimization of Distribution Routes for Fresh Agricultural Products Based on Dijkstra Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the specialty of fresh agricultural products, a delivery model was established. The model consists of single distribution center and multiple demand points. The integrated cost which consists of transport cost and time cost was taken as the optimization objective. It is used as weight in classic Dijkstra algorithm instead of distance. We also used a case study to illustrate saving method and classic Dijkstra algorithm with integrated cost. The comparison was conducted by calculating the integrated cost of optimal routes separately. Following the comparison, we draw a conclusion that in the field of fresh agricultural products distribution, classic Dijkstra algorithm which takes integrated cost as optimization objective is superior to the saving method in which distance is the optimization objective.
