“…It is impossible to accomplish proper deployment of supply centers without considering the geographical factors of population, location, and space as well as other factors such as transportation infrastructures, land, fair access, adaptability and adjacency, population density, capability and capacity, environmental considerations, and parking space. In this regard, it is essential to develop models that take into account and apply these factors in urban designs to the possible extent (Yang et al, 2016).…”

Tehran, as one of the most populated capital cities worldwide, is categorized in the group of highly polluted cities in terms of the geographical location as well as increased number of industries, vehicles, domestic fuel consumption, intra-city trips, increased manufacturing units, and in general excessive increase in the consumption of fossil energies. City logistics models can be effectively helpful for solving the complicated problems of this city. In the present study, a queuing theory-based bi-objective mathematical model is presented, which aims to optimize the environmental and economic costs in city logistics operations. It also tries to reduce the response time in the network. The first objective is associated with all beneficiaries and the second one is applicable for perishable and necessary goods. The proposed model makes decisions on urban distribution centers location problem. Subsequently, as a case study, the fruit and vegetable distribution network of Tehran city is investigated and redesigned via the proposed modelling. The results of the implementation of the model through traditional and augmented ε-constraint methods indicate the efficiency of the proposed model in redesigning the given network.

“…Based on this, the constraint on the time of joining a customer is the VRPTW model, and many problems are considered on this basis. This problem has long been proved to be a NP-Hard problem, and there is no good solution [5]. The schematic diagram of the VRP problem is shown in Figure 1.…”

Abstract:In order to save the cost of logistics distribution company, the route optimization of logistics distribution vehicle scheduling and the time optimization problem in distribution processing are studied. The workflow of logistics distribution company is mainly divided into four parts: order transportation, warehousing processing, distribution processing and distribution transportation. First of all, the background and current situation of logistics distribution are briefly introduced. Then, the basic algorithm of route optimization in distribution transportation process is summarized. The model of vehicle delivery route optimization based on time window constraint is given. At the same time, the model is verified by saving algorithm, sweeping algorithm and neighbor algorithm. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of various schemes are compared. The three methods proposed in this paper can save costs in varying degrees. By comparing the three methods, the results show that the saving algorithm is superior.

“…Some literatures considered the CO 2 emissions when optimizing the network. Yang et al 24 proposed a novel carbon tax-constrained city logistics network planning model with rational hypotheses, parameter design, and deployment of low-carbon resources. Chaabane et al 25 introduced a framework to evaluate the trade-offs between economic and environmental objectives under various cost and operating strategies.…”

The capacity of the ship-lock at the Three Gorges Dam has become bottleneck of waterway transport and caused serious congestion. In this article, a continual network design model is established to solve the problem with minimizing the transport cost and environmental emission as well as infrastructure construction cost. In this bi-level model, the upper model gives the schemes of ship-lock expansion or construction of pass-dam highway. The lower model assigns the containers in the multi-mode network and calculates the transport cost, environmental emission, and construction investment. The solution algorithm to the model is proposed. In the numerical study, scenario analyses are done to evaluate the schemes and determine the optimal one in the context of different traffic demands. The result shows that expanding the ship-lock is better than constructing pass-dam highway.
