Title: Construction of hub-and-spoke logistics network based on road traffic cost in Yangtze River Delta
Abstract: Undoubtedly,the rise of modern logistics will be great and particular significance to the development of our world.Modern logistics,as one of the new productive service industries,creates time value and the spatial value in every link of production,transportation and sale.At present,related research on regional logistics and logistics network mainly concentrate in the scope of small regions,and most studies focus on traditional transport manners and the impact of transport in the nationwide scope.In view of this,this paper attempts to construct a theory frame of logistics network from the scope of macroscopic scale.Taking the Yangtze River Delta as the examples,the authors try to give some advice to regional logistics and construct a logistics network in the Yangtze River Delta.Because of the current situation in the Yangtze River Delta that grade system is chaos,foundation of logistics is not constructed,the authors analyze the conception of regional logistics,and discuss its competitive advantage.On account of the confusion of the concept and network distribution of logistics in the Yangtze River Delta,the authors choose the estimation indexes to appraise hub cities in this region.Considering the intention between the cities was difficult to evaluate,the authors point out the effective region of the hub cities based on road traffic cost.Finally,the hub-and-spoke network is constructed in the Yangtze River Delta,and a concrete analysis is done on the main logistics cities about their orientation.
