A Method for Forecasting Regional Logistics Demand Based on MLP Neural Network and Its Application
基于MLP 神经网络的区域物流需求预测方法及其应用

Regional logistics forecasting is the key step in regional logistics planning and logistics resources rationalization.Because regional economy is the inherent and determinative factor of regional logistics demand,it is feasible to forecast regional logistics demand by economic indexes which can accelerate the harmonious development of regional logistics industry and regional economy.The regional logistics demand forecasting model based on MLP artificial neural network(ANN) not only explains the nonlinear relationship between regional economy and regional logistics demand but also puts forward a new idea and methodology for regional logistics demand forecasting.
