OPTIMAL LOCATION OF LOGISTICS TERMINALS CONSIDERING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

This paper presents a mathematical model for determining the optimal size and location of logistics terminals using genetic algorithms. The model explicitly incorporates the traffic conditions on road network and the environmental impacts by freight transport. The model was successfully applied to a road network in the Kyoto-Osaka area for comparing two cases of minimizing the total costs and CO(2) emissions.
