dc.description.abstractBy studying the development status of cold chain logistics in China, and the current situation in the three specific industries of electronics commerce, supermarkets, and the food and beverage industry, this paper analyzes and concludes that the terminal logistics distribution capacity of the regional distribution centers in Chinese cities is insufficient. In order to solve this problem—based on the idea of joint distribution—the paper makes a specific study of the terminal problem and establishes a joint distribution node. Different distribution schemes are adopted for individual, medium, and large customers, and we find that the semi-trailer is used to carry out the transportation of jammers by using mathematical modeling and time window constraint analysis, which can effectively integrate cold chain logistics resources, save logistics space and human resources, and improve terminal logistics distribution capacity.en_ZA
