Abstract: Abstract In the distribution environment at the end of the urban and rural areas, due to the scattered demand for urban and rural express delivery, there are problems such as long vehicle travel paths, high empty load rates, and long delivery times. In order to solve the problem that the current urban-rural regional end distribution is more difficult, a urban-rural regional distribution model based on the common distribution model is proposed. By integrating some urban and rural areas, they are regarded as a whole, and a common distribution center is established to replace the traditional county-level distribution center. Finally, using Lujiang County of Hefei as a case, a case simulation was conducted through MATLAB, which proved the effectiveness and feasibility of the common distribution model in urban and rural areas.
