Freight Transportation Network Expansion Plan to Meet Urban Logistics
Publication: ICTE 2015
Abstract
With the rapid development of urban modern logistics, traffic capacity of freight transport network cannot satisfy the requirement of cargo distribution and delivery. Therefore, it is very urgent to enlarge and optimize the freight transport network. In this thesis, based on the analysis of proposed transport network, the state of the increasing flow, and transport time, transport cost, road congestion and the cost of unit capacity, an optimization model is built to enlarge the capacity of the freight transport network, and then an algorithm is devised to solve it. Eventually, an example is used to verify the validity of the model and the algorithm. This thesis is likely to offer a theoretical method for making decision, optimizing and designing freight transport network.
