Research on the Scale-planning Model for the Coal Logistics Center based on Coal Logistics Network Planning

The scale planning of the coal logistics center plays an important role in coal logistics network planning. Based on the coal logistics network planning, this paper analyses the coalmine production capacity, transportation capacity, coal demand and other factors, then brings forward the demand trend coefficient on that basis. Further, the authors construct a scale-planning model for the coal logistics center which is used to determine the scale of the coal logistics center’s main part the coal storage yard. Finally, the paper carries out an application case study.
