Fourth party logistics is an urgent need for economic and social development, and its research focuses on path optimization. Comprehensively considering the choice of third party logistics suppliers, routes, and transportation modes, this study proposes a multi-objective transportation optimization model based on queuing theory, which minimizes cost, time, and carbon emissions. In addition, to solve the problems of infeasible solutions in fourth party logistics route optimization (4plrp), a priority-random based strengthen elitist genetic algorithm is proposed. Experiments show that the algorithm has good convergence and stability in solving small/large 4plrp and is superior to six typical algorithms, such as the elite genetic algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
