In order to solve the problems in the current dynamic modeling of logistics network,this paper proposes a basic growth-based modeling method NGM of logistics network based on the analyses of the popular logistics theories and the corresponding modeling methods as well as the newest applications of the complex network theory.In the investigation,an original model is first established,modified and optimized according to some special characte-ristics of the practical logistics network in terms of growth,preferential attachment and weighted edge.Then,the characteristics of the optimized model are analyzed according to the demands of the logistics center.Finally,a si-mulation is performed.The results show that the logistics network based on NGM can construct a hierarchical structure with a key node,a small number of center nodes and a large number of branching nodes according to the accumulation degree of nodes,and that the hierarchical structure helps to optimize the network performances in the aspects of economy,timeliness,security,communication and convenience.
