description With the development of modern logistics industry, the cold chain logistics distribution of perishable agricultural products has become an important link to ensure food quality and safety. Aiming at the complicated situation in the process of perishable agricultural products transportation path planning, a cold chain logistics distribution path optimization model based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) was proposed. Based on the traditional soft and hard time window constraint model, an optimized time window constraint model was proposed, and the update function of pheromone increment was substituted to optimize the traditional ant colony algorithm. An Improved Ant Colony Optimization (IACO)-time-window constrained path optimization model was proposed. The test results showed that in the convergence training experiment in Matlab environment, the research method only needed 19 iterations to reach the lowest level. In the experiment of application effect, the length of the path generated by the research method for car a was 188.93 km. Car Group a could complete 60.38 % offload at the fourth distribution node. The experimental results showed that the proposed route optimization model had better iteration efficiency and could effectively generate a shorter distance distribution path, which provides a new technical support for the route optimization of cold chain distribution of perishable agricultural products.
