Cloud-based Cyber-Physical Logistics System with Nested MAX-MIN Ant Algorithm for E-commerce logistics

作者：

Highlights：

• An effective nested max–min ant algorithm for VRP model is proposed.

• VIP priority and drop-off point has been considered.

• Nested max–min ant system for VRP model considered a set of possible scenarios.

• The numerical experiments show that the CPLS is implemented successfully.

• The model can solve the possible scenarios within reasonable computation times.
