Optimizing Supply and Demand in Coal Logistics Networks

Abstract:

China has a "North coal to south, West coal to east" overall pattern of coal transportation. This paper focuses on how to optimize the distribution of supply and demand, which can effectively reduce the total transportation costs. In order to study the optimization problem, we build a linear programming model, and solve it through commonly used mathematical programming software CPLEX. Then, taking Shanxi as an example, the proposed model was verified. By introducing supply point capacity limits, make our model more adaptable to the actual situation.
