The invention discloses an urban two-stage distribution and scheduling method with a mobile distribution
station, aiming to improve the urban distribution efficiency. According to the two-stage distribution mode, goods are transferred to a distribution
station located in an
urban area from a distribution center located in a suburb through a
truck, and then
tail-end distribution is completed through the distribution
station by means of a light-weight vehicle. Existing distribution stations are fixed in position while the requirements of urban customers are changed every day and the rent of an urban center is expensive, so that a distribution
route is not optimal every day, and the cost is high. According to the urban two-stage distribution mode with the mobile distribution stations, trucksare used as the mobile distribution stations, and the positions of the mobile distribution stations dynamically change according to the requirements of customers every day, so that the distribution paths every day are optimal. For the distribution mode, a clustering-based
variable neighborhood search scheduling
algorithm is designed, and the clustering
algorithm is used for determining the position of a mobile distribution station, and
variable neighborhood search optimizes a distribution path, and a
selection strategy in a non-dominated sorting
genetic algorithm III is adopted to select a multi-target elite solution. Meanwhile, a
truck direct distribution strategy is designed in the
algorithm, so that the efficiency is further improved and the cost is reduced.
