International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems (IJRIS), Vol. 10, No. 1, 2018

Abstract: In the background of big data, railway logistics has become the inevitable trend of freight transportation. This paper puts forward a new method of logistics centre function area layout. Systematic layout planning (SLP) method is firstly used to analyse functional domains to construct a comprehensive correlation chart of the functional domains according to certain weights. Manhattan distance and circuitous path are used to express the distances among the functional domains and to construct a double-object function with minimised total trucking expense and maximised total integrated relations. In the practical application of R. Muther line chart method, the proposed method can get the feasible scheme of layout of functional areas, and it has good application value.
