Selection Of Multi-Distribution Center Location Based On Low Carbon
Abstract
With the increasing of logistics activity, the influence of vehicle emissions for air quality is more and more serious. As the hub of logistics system, distribution center affects all aspects of the logistics vehicles directly. Such as vehicle number, road load, vehicle route and so on. As a result, Distribution center also plays a decisive role on carbon emissions. However, the traditional distribution center can rarely meet the needs of current low carbon society development, because they hardly consider energy conservation and emissions reduction when choose the location. Basing on the traditional distribution center location selection, this paper structures a location selection model of multiple distribution centers under the comprehensive consideration of low carbon, service optimization and cost saving. This paper also optimizes the distribution center location depending on economic cost minimization as the target, uses the improved genetic algorithm coding, and validates the feasibility and effectiveness by example verification model.
