Research on the application of genetic algorithm in logistics location

The location problem of logistics center is the key process of logistics distribution, in order to improve the accuracy of the location of logistics center, this paper according to the parallelism and characteristics of global optimization of genetic algorithm. A method based on genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of logistics center location, and set up with the minimum total cost as the objective function of the logistics center location model, using MATLAB genetic algorithm toolbox (GA) design a genetic algorithm for the model. Finally using a simple example elaborate the specific application of the model, get the address of the logistics center with the lowest total cost and verify the feasibility of it show that compared with the other algorithm. The logistics center location model based on genetic algorithm is simple, efficient and easy to spread. It is more effective than other algorithms to solve the problem of logistics center location.
