This paper studies the problem of rural express logistics distribution, considering the dual demand of rural customers, the diversity of agricultural products, the dispersion of rural customer gathering places and so on. Optimize the joint delivery of rural express by introducing the model of vehicle routing problem with split deliveries and pickups (SVRPPD). The objective of optimization is to minimize the total cost of distribution system. According to the characteristics of the model, a competitive decision algorithm is designed to solve the problem. Finally, the practicability and effectiveness of the model and algorithm are verified by an example.
