Location and Route Optimization of Logistics Distribution Center Based on Beijing Expressway Service Area

With idle resources and advantaged location, the expressway service area ought to fully and actively expand the logistics service besides providing daily passenger service, which can not only solve the problem of land of distribution center, but also bring new profit to expressway service area. Considering distribution center location, distribution cost, distribution time, etc, this paper built the dual-objective LRP model and implemented the calculation by designing MATLAB program based on genetic algorithm. And taking Beijing for example, the proposed service areas in Beijing and the relevant information of demand outlets were used in the calculation, and the optimal sites selection and path planning was obtained. The results demonstrate that the cost of delivery is reduced by 3% compared with that is close to the demand point.
