Description
Summary:<p><strong><em>Purpose:</em></strong> Aim at choosing a relative good vehicle routing in emergency conditions under constraint conditions when disaster happens. Rapid response and rescue can save a lot of people.</p> <p><strong><em>Design/methodology/approach:</em></strong> Modeling analysis: establishing a mathematical model of multi-objective emergency logistics vehicle routing problem. And in end of the paper, we intend to use genetic algorithms to solve the problem.</p> <p><strong><em>Findings:</em></strong> Considering time requirement and cost limit both while choosing vehicle routing when the disasters happens is meaningful. We can get a relative good result and give a guidance to rescue teams.</p> <p><strong><em>Originality/value:</em></strong> Consider cost and time objectives and kinds of realistic conditions (such as the road congestion) in the model when solving the problem, having expanded the theory scope.</p><br />
