Abstract :
In this paper, author comes up with a new optimization algorithm about distribution routing planning. This method is used to make the best distribution route according to vehiclepsilas load capacity, distance from distribution centre and various client demand as well as cargo priority etc. The result could be displayed in electronic map. Proved by instances, this method can help managers to reduce the cost of distribution and make decisions for transportation control.
