The Hybrid Green AI Paradigm
The proposed hybrid Green AI framework integrates MOIAC (Multi-Objective Improved Ant Colony) and MOIPS (Multi-Objective Improved Particle Swarm) algorithms. It explicitly embeds environmental sustainability objectives, such as CO2 emissions and energy efficiency, directly into the optimization process, ensuring eco-conscious decision-making across the supply chain. This approach operationalizes Green AI principles to achieve both economic efficiency and ecological responsibility.
Holistic Optimization for Complex Goals
This framework utilizes a multi-objective optimization (MOO) model to simultaneously minimize four key criteria: transportation cost, delivery time, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions. Objectives are balanced using a weighted sum approach and normalized to prevent dominance by larger scales. This ensures holistic optimization, addressing both economic and environmental goals without sacrificing one for the other.
Real-World Accuracy with Google Maps API
To ensure real-world accuracy, the system integrates real-time geospatial data from Google Maps API. This allows for the extraction of actual road distances, consideration of live traffic conditions for travel time, and precise calculation of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This data-driven approach moves beyond simplified Euclidean approximations, providing highly realistic and actionable routing solutions for complex urban environments.
Modeling Realistic Demand Patterns
A Zipf demand distribution is applied to realistically model uneven demand patterns, reflecting that a small number of cities or customers often account for the majority of demand. This probabilistic distribution helps the optimization framework adapt to heterogeneous and imbalanced demand scenarios, thereby strengthening both cost-efficiency and environmental sustainability by avoiding over-concentration of resources.
MOIAC: Superior Performance Across Metrics
The MOIAC algorithm, simulated using OR-Tools, demonstrates superior performance compared to Greedy, PSO, ACO, and Genetic algorithms. It achieves the lowest average response time (120 ms) and significant reductions in total distance, operational costs, and CO2 emissions, proving its robustness and efficiency in dynamic logistics environments. This superior balance of solution quality and computational speed makes it ideal for real-time applications.
26.7%
Reduction in Total Distance, Operating Costs, & CO2 Emissions
The hybrid Green AI framework, leveraging MOIAC and MOIPS, achieved a significant 26.7% reduction in total travel distance, operational costs, and CO2 emissions compared to baseline methods across 19 Egyptian cities.
