  • Abstract
    This paper constructs a distribution model of cold chain logistics based on vehicle routing problem with time windows, including cooling cost, fixed/transportation cost and other costs. Then apply this model and general model to a numerical example consisting of 20 customers separately. The results differ from each other, which suggests that it is necessary to do research on distribution problem of perishable food.
