Research on location for logistics centers based on cellular automata

Cellular Automata (CA) is a model with simple structure that can simulate complex structure and process. Based on the analysis of the developing characteristics in modern logistics, a location model of logistics center is constructed by Cellular Automata. Then simulation of the location for Logistics Centers will be achieved, and finally an optimized result obtained. The conclusions can give beneficial references to the model building of location for logistics centers in real situations. © ASCE.
