Abstract
Streamline optimization theory is a new method to reveal basic characteristics and laws of logistics activities, optimize matching degree between logistics service supply and demand, and solve all kinds of logistics-related problems with super-network structure. According to urban logistics nodes layout problem, streamline optimization theory was applied to determine the scale of the logistics nodes. Then matching degree between logistics nodes layout supply and demand was optimized and proved its rationality and feasibility. The result shows that the matching degree that was achieved by streamline optimization model is higher than by traditional experience method, and the logistics value is closer to the logistics demand.
