Abstract: City distribution and the management of vehicles face many actual situations, the improperly match of demand and supply, more and more strong timeliness and randomness of the demand, the low utilization rate of vehicle. Without considering all urban road congestion, this paper presents the method of “the demand-driven dynamic configuration of vehicles on city distribution”. The method clusters customer orders according to customer order and Self-Organizing Feature Map neural network （SOFM） to determine the priority of service in every category. It adopts the “assignment-saving heuristic algorithm” to get the satisfactory answer of dynamic configuration of vehicles of city distribution. An actual example is analyzed through Matlab and Lingo, and the outcome demonstrates that the proposed “the demand-driven dynamic configuration of vehicles on city distribution” can reduce operating costs, shorten the operation time and increase the rate of the arrival of the goods.
