Abstract

This paper introduces a novel bi-objective routing model founded on AIoT principles. Our model not only aims to minimize vehicle transportation costs and prevent time window violations but also endeavors to mitigate environmental pollutants. Our study addresses the complex challenge of optimizing routes for heterogeneous vehicle fleets with Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technology. Analyzing the bi-objective model using AI tools (MOSCA and NSGA II), we unveil a fascinating trade-off: as energy consumption decreases, system costs increase. Employing robust optimization techniques, we validate the model's performance under pessimistic conditions characterized by rising uncertainty rates. Notably, heightened uncertainty correlates with increased objective function values. Through a series of diverse test cases, we observe that MOSCA demonstrates superior efficiency, notably outperforming in NP, MD, and T indices. Our findings offer valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in the domains of transportation optimization, AIoT, and environmental sustainability.
