Abstract
With the personalized and diversified development of customer demand in the freight market, road transportation has become a main competitor of railway transportation in container transportation due to its high flexibility, convenience, and low prices. Based on the generalized cost and logit model, this paper constructs a container railway goods transport market competitiveness model including four indicators of economy, timeliness, environmental protection, and safety. Take 20 ft container transportation as an example, the impact of changes in railway goods charge and railway travelling speed on the competitiveness of the railway goods transport market is analysed. Some realistic suggestions, including optimizing the railway tariff system, increasing the travelling speed of railway, innovating container intermodal products, and making full use of policy-oriented advantages are concluded.
Highlights
Under the background of transportation structure adjustment in China, the railway is undertaking more and more freight volumes which are shifted from road transportation
In 2020, the railway container transportation volume accounts for 12.8% of the total railway freight volume, which was only 6.1% in 2017
Analysing the market competitiveness of container railway goods transport is of great significance to enhance the volume of railway container transportation, promote the development of multimodal transport, and help deepen the reform of the transport structure
Summary
Under the background of transportation structure adjustment in China, the railway is undertaking more and more freight volumes which are shifted from road transportation. The safety factor is considered relatively independent and set to be a multiplier factor in the generalized cost model. When it is better, the transportation mode is the best, so safety and other characteristics should be multiplicative. Erefore, this paper selects four indicators of economy, timeliness, environmental protection, and safety, uses two mature methods of generalized cost and logit model to analyse the market competitiveness of the transportation mode, constructs the railway goods transport market competitiveness model, studies the competition of railway and road container transport under different circumstances, and puts forward optimization suggestions to improve the competitiveness of container railway goods transport With the implementation of environmental protection policies in various provinces and cities, the impact of the transportation mode on the environment has gradually been concerned. erefore, this paper selects four indicators of economy, timeliness, environmental protection, and safety, uses two mature methods of generalized cost and logit model to analyse the market competitiveness of the transportation mode, constructs the railway goods transport market competitiveness model, studies the competition of railway and road container transport under different circumstances, and puts forward optimization suggestions to improve the competitiveness of container railway goods transport
