Abstract

To adapt the changing of market need, logistics providers in efforts to reduce costs and improve customer service levels to meet the customer satisfaction as individual demands. The actual distribution process, delivery vehicles will encounter various often uncertain external factors, resulting in delivery times of uncertainty. And it indirectly affects the normal production and operation. In this paper, the travel time based on fuzzy mathematical model of vehicle routing problem with time window as a fuzzy variable. Information Entropy and the path chosen by the use of random disturbance control strategy to the adaptive algorithm. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
