Research on Model of Railway Emergency Supplies Reserve Site Selection

This paper builds the entropy-based multi-objective decision-making model on the basis of the analysis the demand characteristics of the railway emergency supplies by considering the railway transportation network, the site layout and its technical characteristics. To avoid the effects of artificial judgments this model uses entropy method to figure out the weight of demand region. In addition, the site construction costs and transport costs are taken into account during the building process of the target model, which makes the reserve site selection feasible not only in terms of the time and the region, but also in terms of the cost.
