Research on Logistics Distribution Vehicle Path Optimization Based on Simulated Annealing Algorithm

With the continuous development of Internet technology, e-commerce has gradually become a popular field. As an important part of China’s tertiary industry, the rapid development of e-commerce has played a huge role in promoting the development of the domestic economy. At the same time, e-commerce has also greatly contributed to the development of the logistics industry. Hence, with the rapid growth of the economy and the rapid development of e-commerce, the construction of logistics and distribution systems plays an essential role in the process of urban development. A perfect logistics and distribution system can promote the overall economic efficiency of the city and facilitate people’s daily lives. In addition, the development of logistics systems can meet the escalating needs of consumers and the increasingly competitive market environment, thus promoting the transformation of e-commerce retail enterprises to high-quality development. The simulated annealing algorithm is an effective approximation algorithm for solving optimization problems, and the application of this algorithm to path optimization problems can be of practical value in solving problems in urban road traffic and logistics distribution. Therefore, exploring logistics distribution vehicle route optimization is of great practical significance to optimize the allocation of resources in cities, improve the economic efficiency of enterprises, and solve the problems of urban traffic congestion and can provide reference for relevant departments in their decision-making. This paper focuses on how to optimize vehicle paths in the logistics distribution process and constructs a path optimization model that satisfies the multiobjective premise. The path problem is solved using the simulated annealing algorithm, and the results are analyzed.
