Abstract

This thesis presents a novel solution for the distribution problem in the urban underground logistics system, specifically addressing the challenge of the “last kilometer” distribution during the non-operating hours of the Chongqing metro system. The study commences by examining the present condition and significance of subterranean logistics systems. It thoroughly analyzes the distinctive topography and traffic obstacles specific to Chongqing’s underground logistics system, and highlights the practicality and advantages of utilizing the metro system for logistics and distribution. The thesis proposes a comprehensive metro logistics and distribution system, which includes the selection of transfer locations, efficient connection between distribution centers and metro stations, and the implementation of appropriate management and scheduling strategies for distribution trucks. This study presents a unique approach by effectively combining the metro system with urban logistics requirements. It offers a fresh perspective on addressing the main challenges in urban logistics and distribution. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework that can be applied to other regions with similar urban characteristics.
