In this paper, the author first discusses the main applications of GIS in logistics, based on the development trend and demand of modern information-based logistics, and then tries to explain, how GIS can provide services in logistics, especially in transportation process. The use of powerful spatial analysis function of GIS and detailed geographic data preparation can support the determination of the shortest path of vehicles, and assisting transport route planning and design. In addition, from comprehensive consideration of transit time, road conditions, transportation costs and other factors, the optimal transport path can be determined dynamically on the basis of the shortest path. Then the vehicle routing problem (VRP) can be solved partially.
