Abstract
Regional logistics has become the vital emphasis of a harmonious regional economy development. On the basis of the logistics scale and freight structure, which includes freight traffic and freight ton-KM of the four transportation modes (railways, highways, waterways and civil aviation), the Grey Relational Model has been established by dint of the Grey theory. The differences between the Grey relational results of Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chongqing, which have a similar background, are discussed. The changes in freight structure in Chongqing are analyzed, and the main freight impact factors on Chongqing logistics are discussed. Thus the weaknesses of logistics development in Chongqing are clear. At the end of this paper, some suggestions for improving Chongqing logistics will be put forward.
