Abstract: To carry out the multi-temperature and joint-distribution pattern of urban cold chain logistics is an effective way to reduce the cost in cold chain logistics, the urban pollution, and traffic jams, while setting up a set of fair and effective cost allocation mechanism is the key to the successful implementation of the pattern. Based on the cooperation alliance model, this paper uses for reference the related academic research results and establishes a cost allocation model of multi-temperature and joint-distribution pattern. Considering the characteristics of the pattern, it employs the improved Shapley Value theory as the allocating method for the cooperation cost. Finally, through analysis of examples it verifies the feasibility and availability of this method. The result can, to some extent, inspire the cooperation between the urban logistics providers and the traditional retailers and encourage them to carry out this new pattern.
