The Location Modeling and the Simulation of the Integrated Logistics Distribution Center of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the Internet+

Abstract

With the development of the integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the Internet +, logistics integration has become the foundation and premise to realize the integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. The layout optimization of distribution center and the improvement of infrastructure are the effective approaches to solving two bottlenecks of e-commerce that are called “last kilometer†and “last 100 metersâ€. In this paper, an optimized location model for the distribution center of the logistics integration of “Internet + Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei†is created; the Tabu search algorithm and the simulation-based case study are used to solve and analyze the model. It is shown that the optimized transportation route can minimize the total transportation cost when the requirements of both supply and demand are met. Research results in the paper are valuable and research methods worth being made more widespread.
