Abstract
Owing to the unreasonable layout problem andthe excessive number of gas station in some regions of China,this paper attempts to discuss the principle of rationalityand related factors for the gas station layout. Indetermining the relationship between the number of stationsand motor vehicle demand, this paper simulates thevehicle’s selection of price by using Starlogo simulationplatform. While it focuses on researching the traffic flowdensity and the impact of the consumer price preferences,and analyzing the influence of the station network layoutbecause of price changing. Finally, it attempts to provide areference for the relevant decision-making.
