In the face of various emergencies, emergency logistics vehicles are required to meet the needs of the affected areas in a short enough time. However, due to the suddenness of the incident and the shortage of relief supplies, it is necessary to further consider how to optimize the route of emergency vehicles in case of insufficient supply. In this paper, when the supply point is insufficient, the emergency vehicle routing can be optimized in the shortest possible time and at the same time to meet the requirements of the disaster site. By establishing the corresponding mathematical model and using the genetic algorithm to solve the relevant examples, the new solution is provided for the emergency logistics vehicle routing problem when the relief materials are insufficient. According to the analysis results of the example, the effectiveness of the optimization method is further demonstrated, and theoretical support is provided for relevant decision makers.
