In this study, a logistics network simulator based on the similarity between logistic and electric behaviors was considered. To reduce the complexity of practical electrical circuit development, the developed logistics model was converted to an electrical circuit model for analysis. Basic logistics networks such as centralized, de-centralized, and complex models were simulated using the well-defined electrical circuit models. The results show that theoretical logistical behavior can be simulated using electrical circuit models and converted simulation block models, confirming the similarity between flow of logistics and current distribution in electrical circuit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
