A Study of Logistics Distribution System Based on Information Fusion

Abstract

The origin, quality and content of the information related to the logistics distribution system as well as the processing mode decide the efficiency and effect of the distribution system greatly. The key to realize the core functions of modern logistics distribution system is the exact gathering and processing dynamic logistics distribution information in time. Using the theory and method of information fusion, this paper researched the logistics distribution information fusion method and pattern as well as the logistics distribution integrative system based on information fusion. The basic pattern of logistics distribution information fusion is proposed, and the logistics distribution integrative system is built that takes the logistics information platform, GIS, GPS, GSM and INTERNET technology as support. The system has many functions such as vehicle route optimization, route guidance, real-time tracking and control during distribution process, real-time inquiry service for customer and so on. This system could respond customer's demand fast, enhance efficiency of logistics distribution, reduce cost and promote grade of service for customers. 1. PREFACE Logistics distribution is the key step in logistics activity. The distribution line optimized, whole process tracking and control, customer real-time inquiry service, vehicle navigation and so on are important functions of modern logistics distribution system. In order to respond to customer demand quickly, enhance logistics distribution efficiency, reduce cost and promote customer service grade, modern logistics distribution system must build the logistics information platform fully utilizing information technology and automation technology, collect dynamic distribution information, distribution process situation as well as road traffic information etc in time and exactly，dispose and decide rapidly. This paper analyzed information characteristics of the logistics distribution, researched logistics distribution information fusion method and pattern as well as logistics distribution integrative system based on information fusion theory and method.
