Abstract

Incomplete open vehicle routing problem is proposed and defined, and the multi-depot incomplete open vehicle routing problem with soft time windows based on carbon tax (MDIOVRPSTWCT) is expounded. The quantity of carbon emissions is calculated based on vehicles’ travel distance, furthermore, the MDIOVRPSTWCT is modelled, and the adaptive genetic algorithm, which can dynamically adjust the crossover and mutation probability, is applied to solve the model. After the strategy of multi-depot is reasonably adopted and modern transportation and distribution optimization technology is applied, the computed results of the case show the transportation & distribution companies’ number of vehicles, fuel consumption and vehicle’ carbon emissions are still greater declines even though the carbon tax, and the benefit’s growth and low carbon logistics are realized at the same time.
