Abstract

This paper investigates the mode selection problem of urban distribution based on the environment of low carbon in Guangdong Province. The AHP model is employed to represent the points of view of 20 related personnel, including policy makers, logistics experts, enterprise senior managers and truck drivers. A hierarchical network is developed at three levels for selection. The results show that the logistics environment, transaction cost, carbon trading cost and low carbon determination are the most important variables for the decision of urban distribution modes. Then we find that the most suitable mode of urban distribution is the joint distribution, second is self-distribution and the last is third party distribution. Finally, we outline two suggestions for developing a better joint distribution pattern. First, logistics industry and associations promote the development of joint distribution actively. Second, strengthen the market management and create a good market environment.
