Given a domestic logistics network (Fig.1), let cij be defined as a specific link cost between nodes "i" and j" used as key parameters for logistics network planning and design, and can be formulated as a function of sets of tangible and intangible components. Please explore what can be these components of cij (i.e, the factors that influence the measurement of ci), and provide your explanations (10%). what else should you consider for quantifying cij if this is an international logistics network?
