Highlights A regional low-carbon logistics network design with investment coordination mechanisms is studied. Three logistics park investment coordination mechanisms are evaluated. A conditional investment coordination contract among local logistics authorities is designed.
Abstract This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the impact of logistics park investment coordination mechanisms on regional low-carbon logistics network design for multiple cities, including non-budget-sharing mechanism, centralized-budget-sharing mechanism and conditional-budget-sharing mechanism. First, a mixed-integer linear programming model on the non-budget-sharing mechanism is formulated, which aims to minimize the total amount of CO2 emissions generated from freight transport activities within a regional logistics network. The other two mechanisms are addressed to compare their effects on the system performance of the regional network. To empirically assess the effectiveness of the three mechanisms, a case study based on Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan regional low-carbon logistics network design is investigated. The findings show that the performance of the conditional-budget-sharing mechanism is superior to the non-budget-sharing mechanism, but inferior to the centralized-budget-sharing mechanism. Furthermore, the designed investment coordination mechanisms and corresponding optimization models provide a coordinated reference for multiple cities regarding logistics park investment and low-carbon logistics network design.
