Spatial Analysis Of The "China Railway Express" Express Network

With the explosive growth of e-commerce,China's express delivery industry has shown a rapid growth trend.From 2010 to 2016,China's express delivery business volume increased by more than 13 times,with an average annual growth rate of 50%,and the market size has been the biggest in the world.The rapid growth of express traffic means that express enterprises' transport networks need to be more efficient and developed.The characteristics of high-speed rail transport are gradually attracting the interest of express companies due to their unique advantages.As a monopolistic stateowned enterprise that owns the national railway resources,China Railway Express Co.,Ltd.(CRE)is facing a tremendous development opportunity.How to exert its advantages of high-speed rail transportation network to win a position in this express market is that China Railway Express urgent problems to be considered.However,the premise of exerting its own advantages is that it has a basic and comprehensive understanding of its own structural characteristics and so on.Therefore,this paper takes CREC as the research object,which has certain reference to the development of CRC and other express delivery enterprises.The article is divided into three parts,the first part is the first chapter and the second chapter,the first chapter is mainly about the introduction of the topic background and significance of the topic,including introducing the current status of the research and the main research content and methods;the second chapter inntroduces the difference between courier and logistics,logistics network and courier network.The second part is the third chapter to the sixth chapter,which is the core part of this article,the third chapter briefly introduces the development process of China Railway Express logistics network and analyzes the characteristics of China Railway Express logistics network.The fourth chapter introduces the development of China Express Railway Express courier business and analyzes the characteristics of the distribution of highspeed rail express outlets,at the same time this chapter analyzes the node layout of China Express Railway ordinary express network.The fifith chapter is based on the overall analysis of China Railway Express network space structure.The sixth chapter in combing the development of China's express market status and competitive situation on the basis of the various types of express business representatives express network comparative analysis,while other express delivery enterprise service level and service quality comparison,and then finds the competitive advantage of China Railway Express.The third part is the seventh chapter summarizes the full text.This article draws several characteristics about China Railway Express Logistics Network and Express Network:China Railway Express' s logistics network has a high degree of coverage throughout the country,and the overall pattern of gradual decline from east to west.On the whole,the phenomenon of “multi-nuclear and multi-pole” spatial clustering with the Yangtze River Delta as the core,the Jing-Jin-Ji region and the Yangtze River Delta as the sub-core is presented.The poles are mainly distributed in the eastern and central regions.The spatial distribution of the highest level node in the logistics network,the regional transit center,is roughly the same as that of the logistics outlets,which can explain to some extent that China Railway Express has certain rationality for setting up regional transshipment centers.China Railway Express is gradually improving its logistics and transportation channels,which greatly contributes to the improvement of its own logistics and transportation efficiency.China Railway Express express network structure needs to be divided into highspeed rail express network and ordinary express network.In the high-speed rail express delivery network,the high-speed rail express outlets' space distribution and high-speed rail transportation lines all have obvious differences in districts,showing a gradual decline from east to west.The high-speed rail transportation line links several areas where the express traffic is concentrated,and combined with the highway transportation line can realize the “door-to-door” service of China Railway Express high-speed rail express delivery business.The common express delivery network of China Railway Express is a multi-hub spoke and spoke network,in which express delivery regional transit centers are evenly distributed in the seven major regions of the country.Each regional transhipment center is responsible for a certain range of each,and each regional transhipment center is a "point-to-point" direct connection.This express network structure has its own advantages and disadvantages,but it adapts to China Railway Express at the current stage.At present,China Railway Express is in a very fierce competitive environment,but it has its own comparative advantage.Its main advantage lies in the time-limited products on the date,and most express delivery companies cannot achieve it at present.In terms of service prices,the advantages of China Railway Express are not obvious.However,the advantage of China Railway Express express delivery business is reflected in the fact that China Railway Express high-speed rail express delivery network and the express delivery market are in the same structure,and this relationship will continue to deepen.The number of cities reaching the center of high-speed express delivery network will be able to provide express delivery services for the day.In addition,the 1h high-speed rail express delivery network based on road transportation covers most of the eastern and central regions of China,and the door-to-door transport network has ample room for development.
