Abstract

Express logistics problem is a typical optimization problem. Considering the macro-allocation optimization problem and the micro routing scheduling problem, a bi-level CARP-based optimization modeling which the objective is to determine a set of feasible vehicle trips of minimum total cost has been constructed to describe the express logistics problem. Furthermore, an optimization method has been proposed based on the ant colony algorithm (ACA). Case studies shows effectiveness of methods.

 

Key words: Express logistics, bi-level carp, optimization, ant colony algorithm.
