Study On Optimal Allocation Of Railway Container Transport Products

ABSTRACT:Railway container transportation becomes a main form of railway express freight transport with its advantages, which achieves a rapid development in China nowadays, but the existing railway container transport products still have a wide gap with customer needs in quantity and quality, which seriously impact its competitiveness and economic benefits. The high-speed railway construction will releases railway transport capacity and accelerates the development of railway container transportation. Therefore, the optimizations of railway container transport products can highly improves the quality of railway container transport services and satisfies the economic and social development needs.On the base of analysing the development of domestic and foreign railway container transport products, this thesis proposed optimization models and measures to the existing railway container transport products, and made optimal designation to the new product——small marshalling rapid container train. The thesis focus on the research to China railway container transport products optimal allocation:using gray Makov predicted method and gravimetrical method to forecast the railway container volume and OD container volume respectively, then determined traffic routing, organizition forms and number of vehicals, then proposed container transport products specific optimal operation of 2012,2015 and 2020 for Beijing-Guangzhou corridor. At last, this thesis proposes safeguards from business form, supply organizations and marketing strategy, which can lead to the optimization of railway container transport products under the condition of high-speed railway construction smoothly implement.
