Abstract :
An ever-increasing trend in today´s logistics firms is to set up intelligent scheduling system. This paper focuses on enhancing the intelligence and science of real-time optimizing scheduling of logistics distribution for e-commerce based on GIS, and discusses how to process logistics distribution knowledge visually in GIS. A model and mapping solution of logistics distribution knowledge in GIS is presented, and the uniform mapping relations between knowledge bases and spatial databases are kept through XML relational mapping documents. This research is an interaction among artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering and geographical information system, and shows by means of system simulation that the mapping solution is very well suited for establishing the intelligent optimising scheduling system of logistics distribution based on GIS faced with dynamic environment. Finally, potential issues for future research are presented
