Algorithm of logistics distribution path optimization based on Intelligent Petri Net

The optimization of logistic delivery path is to plan the travel paths of delivery vehicles and to lead them to travel to their destinations through optimum paths. By applying the Intelligent Petri Net, a logistic delivery path optimization model can be constructed. Through defining specific running rules for the Intelligent Petri Net, an optimization algorithm of logistic delivery path is put forward and calculation process presented. In the analysis of this paper, the actual delay experienced by delivery vehicles at intersections is taken into account. Using the algorithm presented in this paper, the Shortest Path for a delivery vehicle travelling from the starting point to any point in the city can be found, without having to make any changes to the logistic network. At the same time, the dynamic version of the delivery process can be simulated. By comparing with the Dijkstra algorithm in a case study, is it proven that our algorithm is both applicable and efficient.
