Traffic Organizationbased Layout of Function Area in Logistics Park

Abstract:

A new functional areas layout model was proposed, in which the traffic network in logistics park and travel time of trucks were involved. Meanwhile, the travel time in the intersection was also considered. Then genetic algorithm was designed to solve the model. With the chromosomebased layout transformation and in accordance with the model, the traffic network was built so as to calculate the travel time of truck by allornothing assignment. In this way, the result will meet the actual demand. The case study results indicate that the total truck travel time can be reduced by 9.5% on average in comparison with those acquired by the existing models.
