Study On The Location Of Express Sorting Center In Urban Areas

In our country put forward the "the Belt and Road" cooperation initiative in 2013,aiming to strengthen China's ties with other economies and promote the coordinated economic development of countries along the route.At the same time,various industries in China have ushered in unprecedented opportunities for development,especially the express industry,which is the support industry for the development of national economy.However,due to the impact of adverse factors such as the high land cost within the city,the traffic congestion within the city and the increasing business volume in the urban area,the express delivery and sorting centers within the city is migrating to the outskirts.Therefore,in order to improve the effectiveness of express delivery,the correct selection of the location of urban logistics sorting center has become one of the key points of current research.Under this background,this paper takes the location problem of regional express sorting centers as the research object,reviews and compares the research status of regional express sorting centers at home and abroad by reading relevant references,and summarizes the main research viewpoints and shortcomings.The location of regional express sorting center is a multi-objective decision-making problem in the actual operation decision-making process,which requires decision makers to select the evaluation index of the decision goal according to the relevant location principles,and establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation system accordingly;and because its location needs to be based on the actual needs of the program selection,not subject to the decision maker's subjective consciousness.Therefore,after summarizing the previous research methods,this paper chooses TOPSIS method based on entropy weight method as the calculation method for the location of regional express sorting center.Finally,taking Hefei city as an example,TOPSIS method based on entropy weight method is used to determine the final location of regional express sorting center in Hefei urban area.
