Aiming at the problems of low shortest path selection accuracy, longer response time, and poor selection effect in current cold chain logistics transportation methods, a cold chain logistics transportation shortest path selection algorithm based on improved artificial bee colony is proposed. The improved algorithm is used to initialize the food source, reevaluate the fitness value of the food source, generate a new food source, optimize the objective function and food source evaluation strategy, and get an improved artificial bee colony algorithm. Based on the improved artificial bee colony algorithm, the group adaptive mechanism of particle swarm algorithm is introduced to initialize the position and velocity of each particle randomly. Dynamic detection factor and octree algorithm are adopted to dynamically update the path of modeling environment information. According to the information sharing mechanism between individual particles, the group adaptive behavior control is performed. After the maximum number of cycles, the path planning is completed, the shortest path is output, and the shortest path selection of cold chain logistics transportation is realized. The experimental results show that the shortest path selection effect of the cold chain logistics transportation of the proposed algorithm is better, which can effectively improve the shortest path selection accuracy and reduce the shortest path selection time.

To accelerate the convergence speed of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, this paper proposes a Dynamic Reduction (DR) strategy for dimension perturbation. In the standard ABC, a new solution (food source) is obtained by modifying one dimension of its parent solution. Based on one-dimensional perturbation, both new solutions and their parent solutions have high similarities. This will easily cause slow convergence speed. In our DR strategy, the number of dimension perturbations is assigned a large value at the initial search stage. More dimension perturbations can result in larger differences between offspring and their parent solutions. With the growth of iterations, the number of dimension perturbations dynamically decreases. Less dimension perturbations can reduce the dissimilarities between offspring and their parent solutions. Based on the DR, it can achieve a balance between exploration and exploitation by dynamically changing the number of dimension perturbations. To validate the proposed DR strategy, we embed it into the standard ABC and three well-known ABC variants. Experimental study shows that the proposed DR strategy can efficiently accelerate the convergence and improve the accuracy of solutions.

Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC) is a new optimization algorithms used to solve several optimization problems. The algorithm is a swarm-based that simulates the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarm in searching for food sources. Several variations of ABC have been three existing solution vectors, the new solution vectors will replace the worst three vectors in the food source proposed to enhance its performance. This paper proposes a new variation of ABC that uses multi-parent crossover named multi parent crossover operator artificial bee colony (MPCO-ABC). In the proposed technique the crossover operator is used to generate three new parents based on memory (FSM). The proposed algorithm has been tested using a set of benchmark functions. The experimental results of the MPCO-ABC are compared with the original ABC, GABC. The results prove the efficiency of MPCO-ABC over ABC. Another comparison of MPCO-ABC results made with the other variants of ABC that use crossover and/or mutation operator. The MPCO-ABC almost always shows superiority on all test functions.
