Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for optimizing locations of micro-warehouses that minimize an aggregate carbon footprint within a geographical region. A first trained artificial intelligence model is used to extract, for a geographical region, a product demand of users located in the geographical region over a fixed time period, and delivery location clusters within the geographical region. The delivery location clusters output by the first trained artificial intelligence model is input into a regression model, the regression model outputting recommended locations of temporary micro-warehouses within the geographical region. A second trained artificial intelligence model is used to modify the recommended locations and output optimized locations based on reducing an aggregate carbon footprint caused by emissions resulting from transportation to and from the temporary micro-warehouses.
