Abstract

To improve the efficiency of multi-stage logistics transportation composed of urban warehouse, front-end warehouse and consumer, this paper proposed an optimization method based on region load balance. Firstly, this paper designed the region division strategy based on K-means clustering. Secondly, this paper constructed the optimal matching mechanism between cluster center and front-end warehouse based on distance criterion, and gave the load balancing strategy from the perspective of cost minimization. Then, this paper constructed a two-level vehicle routing optimization model, and designed a multi-layer solution stra-tegy based on tabu search algorithm. Finally, this paper verified the validity of the model and method by numerical experiments and sensitivity analysis and analyzed the optimization results under the three scenarios of only considering region division, simultaneously considering region load balancing, and not considering region load balancing by comparison experiments. The research results reveal the internal relationship between region load balance and route results, which can provide theoretical and technical support for the realization of dual optimization of multi-phase logistics transportation efficiency and cost.
