Abstract
These years, cities in China have been seeing rapid expansions of population, transportation and economy, etc. With those expansions, the logistics demand in cities is rocketing in amount and changing in the distribution, which have brought a lot of problems to the development of urban logistics, as well as the development of the whole city. Therefore, it is vital to find out a method to help people simulate urban logistics demands system. In this work, we adopt the system dynamics (SD) methodology as a modeling and analysis tool tackle the complicated issues of the simulation of urban logistics demand system.
