Abstract
Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the shuttle transport industry, the selection of car transporters and resource allocation has become the focus of enterprises. Based on the actual operations of FAW Logistics Company, we used FlexSim simulation software to construct a highly realistic shuttle transport model. This model conducted a comprehensive simulation analysis of the performance of three mainstream car transporters over an 8-kilometer shuttle transport route. Through detailed mathematical processing, we derived the optimal scheme with the lowest procurement cost. This scheme was not only validated through FlexSim simulation but also provided a feasible solution for car companies in selecting car transporters and allocating resources in shuttle transport, with significant theoretical and practical guiding significance.
