The Application of Bacteria Swarm Optimization Algorithm in Site Choice of Logistics Center

A new setting up logistics distribution centers algorithm based on Bacterial Foraging Optimization is proposed in this paper. Logistics distribution centers are the bridges to connect the supplying points and the demanding points; therefore, how to set up the logistics distribution centers is the important problem of a logistics system. Firstly, the logistics centers location model is discussed and then a new setting up logistics distribution centers algorithm based on Bacterial Foraging Optimization is proposed in this paper. To solve discrete space problems, the chemotaxis procedure is modified in the new algorithm. The experiments show that, the proposed algorithm in this paper can return the solution of setting up logistics distribution centers problems.
