Study On The Location Of Dry Port Based On Fuzzy K-means Clustering

In recent years, with the rising of china’s foreign trade, the port of our country isdeveloping toward the supply chain, how to find an efficient functioning of nodes in theinland to ensure the smooth of whole supply chain has become an urgent problem to besolved. The economic strategy of transfer to the Midwest’s, make the Midwest’s economyhas gained a good opportunity for development. The construction and developmentof dry port has become an important trend. The dry port is the infrastructure to providepublic services, it’s location conditions are complex, and it need the hugeinvestment, scientific and reasonable location can save resources effectively, reduce thecosts, and improve the economic benefit and social benefit. Therefore, combined withthe actual situation of China’s inland areas, structure dry port index system of inland areafor location, to explore suitable location method to improve the competitivenessof inland city can play a positive role.Firstly the article begins the research of the dry port and its location method, makesa introduction of the dry port’s related definitions, functions, development modesand location methods. Based on the cost benefit analysis, regional city in freight volumereached a certain scale can instructive dry port, and it is consistent with the principle ofcost and benefit, Secondly, by analyzing six factors of influence dry port location, theestablishment of index system of dry port location, and use the fuzzy k-meansclustering analysis method the candidate city suitable is divided into three categories: dryport location should be the first choice of one class of the city, and then consider thetwo class city, the three class city, with the surrounding city can instructive dry port inorder to achieve the purpose of the development of regional economy. Finally, in the areaof Central Plains economy is developing dry port the background, the region in line withthe transportation node dry as the elected candidate city, and use the actual economic data of each candidate city into the location model, obtains the locationresults of area of Central Plains economy of dry port, through the analysis of theresults, given the central economic region dry port location, and compared the planningand construction of area of Central Plains economy of dry port and theresults, verified the rationality and validity of the location method.
