Abstract
The location behaviors of manufacturing industries are analyzed in the context of the economic globalization, and a programming model that integrates the flow-capturing location model with the traffic assignment model is built to optimize the location of manufacturing industries based on the world-wide transport multi-mode network. The flow-capturing location model is used to determine the location scheme, and the traffic assignment model is used to calculate the corresponding attributes of the freight flows in the transport network. A genetic algorithm is designed to solve the model and the Chinese steel industry is used as the case study. The result shows that the proposed method could help decision makers to effectively make location decisions for manufacturing industries.
