Research on the Model of Transportation Mode Selection Based on Green Logistics

Resources shortage and environment deterioration force logistics to weigh benefits between economics and ecosystem, as a result of which green logistics has become its necessary choice. In such a context, this paper firstly analyzes the relations between environment and logistics. And then combining environment tolerance capacity and demands of logistics along with the social development, this paper establishes two transportation mode selection models and their assessment index system based on "green logistics" adopting Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) together with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the end, we testify the model with an example and analyze the results.
