Abstract

In order to solve the location routing problem (LRP) by means of  energy saving and environmental protection, we propose a LRP optimization model with bi-objectives of minimizing the carbon emissions and the distribution costs. To address the shortcomings of traditional heuristics in solving large-scale LRPs with poor generality and low efficiency, an improved fast non-dominated ranking genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is proposed and applied to the LRP optimization. In order to improve the convergence and optimization ability of the algorithm, an improved method of adaptive crossover operator and adaptive population size adjustment is introduced on the basis of the original method. With the benchmark test example solved, the algorithm is able to design an accurate, efficient and intelligent scheduling scheme for solving the established LRP model. Compared with the traditional heuristic algorithm in terms of the overall quality of the solution and the convergence efficiency of a single solution, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified.
