Abstract: In view of the cold chain logistic distribution routing optimization, based on the traditional distribution path optimization, according to the characteristics of the cold chain logistics, a model of cold chain logistic distribution path optimization cost with time windows was constructed. According to the idea and principle of intelligent water drop algorithm, the intelligent water drop algorithm was improved, and the improved intelligent water drop algorithm was applied to the model. Finally, with the help of MATLAB software, simulation for an example is done and compared with other intelligent algorithms. The results prove that this method for solving the time window of cold chain logistic distribution path optimization was more accurate and superior, and can provide a feasible method for similar path optimization.

Key words: cold chain logistics, distribution path, time window, intelligent water drop algorithm
