Study On Operation And Management Model Of Stations Based On Rail-water Intermodal Transport

Rail-water intermodal transport as an important means to realize the seamless connection in passengers and freight transportation is a significant project being implemented. Ports and stations is the connecting point between railway transportation and waterway transportation, if its connecting channel isn’t expedite, the rail-water intermodal will be impossible, while the decision factor in effective functioning is the rationality of station management model. The existing railway station operation and management model can’t meet the operation needs of ports and stations in the rail-water intermodal transport; so, the article intends to start with the connecting mechanism of integrated transportation, based on analyzing the existing operation and management model in ports and stations, explore a new management model, in order to provide some support for the development of rail-water transport.The article analyzes the contents of ports and stations in rail-water intermodal transport, including the process of cargo flows organization, the means of receiving and delivery, the process of plan formulation, the process of custom and three quarantine departments, the means of bills and information relay, and then sums the operation and management characters of ports and stations in rail-water intermodal transport, which is different from the general railway container stations.Secondly, based on introducing of the main economic entity and their functions in rail-water intermodal transport system, integrating the relative strategic alliance, the article discusses the classification of operation and management models, and the factors influenced the construction and selection in operation and management models, and lists Dalian port, Qingdao port, Xiamen port, as the typical stations to analyze their management model and relative process in operation organization. At last, the paper has a conclusion on the question of station in existing operation and management model.Finally, for the question, the horizontal integration is not wide enough in the entire chain of rail-water intermodal transport, and the needs of seamless connection, the article probes the operation and management model based on multi-joint, to expand the horizontal integration, changing the integration between railway and waterway into the integration of railway, port, shipping company, vessel-agency and freight-agency. In this model, a multiple allied company in stations will be established, based on strategic alliance, and the coordination in operation management will be discussed. In the end, the paper proposes custom and three quarantine departments should be introduced into stations and developing the distribution function, to achieve the diversification and build logistics center in station.
