Logistics distribution location based on particle swarm optimization algorithm

The aim of logistics distribution center location is to improve the logistics service quality and reduce the transportation cost of goods. The problems are related to both the classical location problem and the vehicle routing problem. This paper proposes logistics distribution center location based on particle swarm optimization algorithm. It models the logistics distribution center location problem considering the user demand and operating cost, then it uses modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to give solution. Experimental result shows that the proposed model and algorithm is effective.
