Dispatch of Agricultural Products Logistics Vehicles Based on Multi-Agent Genetic Algorithm

Fresh agricultural products have special characteristics of being perishable and vulnerable. To ensure the quality and freshness of agricultural products and reduce the rate of spoilage and damage, it is necessary to deliver them to customers quickly. This makes the transportation time and distance requirements very high in the logistics vehicle routing problem of agricultural products. A mathematical analysis model for agricultural product transportation is established to describe constraints and objective functions. Multi-Agent based Genetic Algorithm (MAGA) is used to solve the model. Experimental results show the algorithm has a fast convergence speed and high solution quality.
