Optimizing the Scale and Spatial Location of City Logistics Terminals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: Here city logistics terminal is defined as the facility consisting of warehouse center, marketing center, freight detaching center, distributing center and the information center. It is a link of freight transport between transport terminal such as port, railway freight station and highway entrance and the retailing facilities. The purpose of this study is to optimize the size and spatial distribution of city logistics terminals with location model and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to minimize the total freight transport cost in the city. Freight transport system in the city is analyzed, and transport cost and construction cost are formulated. Choice behavior of retailing facilities for logistics terminal is modeled. At last a case study is carried out.
