Abstract

In order to further enhance the autonomy and controllability of regional logistics networks among Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) member countries, the two-stage method was used to optimize the layout of regional logistics distribution centers in RCEP. Firstly, from the perspective of Beibu Gulf port, by considering the key factors such as trade volume and GDP, the alternative logistics distribution center nodes were selected qualitatively based on three selection criteria. Secondly, the complex network of railway, water transport and highway was constructed respectively according to the correlation between nodes by incorporating the current construction situation and long-term planning of the“Trans-Asian railway”. Then, the UCINET tool and the entropy weight TOPSIS method were used to quantitatively evaluate the importance of candidate nodes. Finally, the comprehensive ranking of nodes was calculated by weighting, and the logistics distribution layout was double optimized based on the location characteristics of the nodes. The results show that the logistics distribution center layout with Chongqing, Guangzhou, Qinzhou, Kunming, Yangon, Ho Chi Minh, Singapore, Surabaya, Melbourne and Naha as the core nodes will further enhance the synergy of the RCEP regional logistics network. The research results can provide decision-making references for the transportation authorities to optimize the layout of RCEP regional logistics distribution centers, and for relevant logistics enterprises to participate in the investment and construction of RCEP regional logistics distribution centers.
