Abstract: The costs of vehicle distribution in the process of cold chain logistics is analyzed and amended; A mathematical model with mixing time window is built to balance the customers' service request with importance level; To minimize the total cost, a mathematical model which uses a factor to make balance between the stability of customer demand fluctuation and the cost increase in the assignment phase is established. Based on MATLAB software, the optical solution is found with adaptive genetic algorithm by taking the background of a distribution center to simulate and analyze.
