Abstract Efficient and trustable food delivery systems have a great impact on our daily life. Considering environmental protection, Electric Cold-chain Vehicle (ECV) has been adopted to support the food delivery system in urban area. However, the drivers of ECV has the motivation to power off the refrigerator for saving electricity, which would lead to the food safety issue. Driven by this, we proposed a novel blockchain-based Electric Cold-chain Delivery System (BECDS) and concentrated on the EV charging and scheduling problem in the distribution network. In terms of methodology innovation, the Dynamic charging and service schedule model (DCSSM) is proposed based on the multi-agent-based simulation. Meanwhile, Internet of Things (IOT) devices are used to monitor the environment data of food, which would be recorded in the blockchain. Furthermore, this paper carries out numerical experiments to verify the feasibility of this system via realistic data. Interestingly, the result shows that the new cold-chain delivery system could serve retailers more efficiently with zero emissions. Hence, this paper could broaden and defined a promising green and digital urban food delivery prototype in the future. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
