Developing a Geometric Logistics Network for Efficient Goods Distribution in Prague
This paper presents a geometric logistics network model for Prague, Czech Republic, aimed at optimizing urban goods distribution. It evaluates the city's urban structure and demographics to strategically position logistics hubs. The efficiency of the road networks between these hubs is analyzed to minimize travel time and reduce costs. The proposed model integrates Just-In-Time Logistics to optimize order processing, inventory management, and transportation. The paper visually and descriptively illustrates the logistics framework, emphasizing the efficiency of road connections between hubs. This approach offers a unique interpretation of city logistics tailored to Prague's urban layout. The paper concludes by exploring how this model can improve Prague's logistics and serve as a model for other cities to implement smarter urban logistics solutions.
