Abstract

Carbon emission is becoming a more and more popular issue recently. It is important to design a reasonable road network within logistics hub to reduce the whole carbon emissions. Previous studies have targeted as maximum economics benefits or least time consumed, which ignored the environmental effects. This paper uses the model of minimum cost maximum flow to optimize the road network, in the model, “cost” is defined as carbon emissions, so we can finally achieve the goal, then classify the type of road according to the capacity, the decreasing order is trunk road, secondary road and slip road. The above classification can help with arranging transportation and guiding the traffic flow. The paper lists the specific optimal plan to the logistics hub in Luan County. However the factors concluded in the model is not adequate, we should consider the factor of road length, and it is also a factor affected carbon emission.
