The application research of logistics network based on GIS

Along with the development of e-commerce, Traditional logistics modes, management thoughts and means have changed fundamentally. Logistics system takes on a lot of new characteristics, such as information centered, automation, network centered, intelligent and flexibility, etc. For adapting to the characteristics, the introduction of new technology is an inexorable trend, and Geographic information system (GIS) is just one of them. Logistic system depends on the geographical space information greatly, so applying GIS into the logistics management can enhance the all-round control and management of the logistics process, and support efficient and high-quality logistical distribution service. In this paper, the relations between logistics and GIS, the design of key technologies of logistics network based on GIS are discussed, such as the design of logistics network, routing analysis, assistant decision analysis, and researches the recognition and organization of GIS data source, integrated system architecture and the determination of logistics model with the reasonable resolving scheme. At last, a logistics management system is developed under the architecture of system integration.
