Abstract

Due to the rapid development of the logistics industry, the business volume of the road transportation industry is also growing rapidly and its transportation costs are also increasing. Therefore, it is particularly important to control the transportation cost. This paper aims to evaluate and analyze the cost management of road logistics transportation based on the optimal solution of linear programming. This paper introduces the basic concept of highway logistics in general and analyzes its components and characteristics. Road logistics transportation has the characteristics of fast speed, low investment, strong flexibility, and easy to adapt to local conditions and does not require much infrastructure. We then analyzed the general linear programming model, made a brief introduction to its mathematical model, and proposed the construction of the optimization model to explore the transportation model of production and sales balance. Finally, taking W logistics company as a case to analyze and discuss, the influence of the transportation route in transit on the transportation cost is studied. And its structure and the corresponding transportation cost of logistics enterprises are analyzed in detail. The experimental results of this paper show that by comparing the calculation results of the road segment method and the linear programming model, the total freight calculated by the segment method is 5610 yuan, while the total freight calculated by the linear programming method is 5490 yuan. Comparing the piecewise methods, it can be found that the linear programming method is more economical in transportation cost than the piecewise method. Therefore, when logistics companies optimize road transportation costs, it is more feasible and effective to use linear programming methods.
