The Planning of the Dynamic Path of the 3rd Party Logistics Center, which Based on the Ant Colony Optimization

Logistics profits which is the third profit source, it has become a "black hole" of the profits of the entire supply chain. At all the logistics costs, the proportion of transport costs is approximately 35% to 60%, thus by through reducing transportation costs, can we improve the effectiveness of the logistics system, and finally to maximize profits. Dynamic path planning of third-party logistics centers undoubtedly reduces transportation costs and optimizes logistics management research priority. The article first introduces the TSP and VRP, both are classic path planning methods, and then through the basic idea and the basic principles of detailing the Ant colony optimization to illustrate the wide range of applications of it in third-party logistics.
