Inland River-way Service Centre Layout and Site Selection Method

This paper first studied the functions of inland waterway service centre and put forward the principles and steps of service centre layout and site selection,on the basis of which,a multi-objective optimization evaluation index system was conceived,and a service centre layout and site selection optimization mathematical model based on neural network model was established.Through analysis on the advantages and disadvantages of the model,it is shown that the service centre layout and site selection result acquired by using this method is fairly objective,and has avoided the subjective speculation by simply judging on the basis of experience,and it could be popularized in the practices of similar projects layout and site selection.
