Influence Analysis Of Railway Express Freight Products Design On Freight Demand Under The Separation Of Passenger And Freight Traffic

With the construction and operation of passenger dedicated line, and the improvement of the railway devices, the separation of passenger and freight traffic will be released on the busy trunk lines. So, the capacity of existing line will be enhanced than ever before. The situation of "rely mainly on passenger while cargo subsidiary" will change, rail freight transportation will not only meet the need of demand, but also achieve the higher level of service because the development bottleneck has gone.Railway freight product is an effective way of the railway freight marketing. The design of railway express freight products aims to realize the move of goods, improve the level of freight service, and obtain a certain amount of market rate. The express freight demand is brisk because that the economy and society have developed rapidly. The operation of rail express freight service will not only increase the marker rate of rail freight, but also provide benefits to the community economy. Based on that view, this paper focuses on influence analysis of railway freight products design on express freight demand with the aspect of transfer and induce. The paper includes the following sections:(1) Based on the analysis of railway express freight market, especially, the situation of railway freight market, this section proposes the characteristic of transportation market of separation of passenger and freight traffic, and the necessity of developing railway express freight. By summarizing the characteristics of express freight market, this section analysis the factors of express freight modes choice.(2) We focus on the concept of transportation product issue, put forward the design concept of and develop the method for the transportation products design. Then, we analyze the key factors of express freight products. Meanwhile, we discuss the transportation organization of the express freight products under the separation of passenger and freight traffic.(3) The utility function of the express freight modes in the Nested Logit(NL) Model, which is for calculating the choice probability of transportation modes, is analyzed. Using the NL model, the choice probability of express freight modes between Beijing and Shanghai will be put forward after the operation of railway express freight train. The sensitivity analysis of the key issues of railway express freight products is the aim to get the influence of that to the express freight demand.(4) This section researches the mechanism of the express freight induce demand. Some methods are developed to obtain the express freight induce demand and induce law after the operation of railway express freight train.
