Research On The Competitiveness Of High-speed Railway Express In China

With the transformation of domestic economic structure,the volume of mass freight continues to decline,while the volume of small express with small batches,high added value and high timeliness is growing rapidly.Railway Corporation started freight reform for continuous decline of railway freight volume and rapid growth of express delivery,it is proposed that the railway logistics should be vigorously expanded with scattered white goods and proposed CRH Express as one of the seven major businesses of railway freight transport and participate in the transport market competition.At present,the CRH Express is in infancy,with small-scale,lack of freight facilities,and little share on express transport market.Thus,to promote the development of CRH Express,it is necessary to clarify the competitiveness of high-speed rail express,and put forward the countermeasures to enhance competitiveness.On the research of the competitiveness of CRH Express,the paper puts forward some countermeasures to improve the competitiveness of CRH Express.The main work of the paper as follows:(1)Defining the connotation of high-speed railway express,summarizing its train transport situation and modes of the domestic and foreign.Combined with the domestic development status,sorting out the problems of CRH Express,and predicting the trend of high-speed railway express in China.(2)First,analyzing the overall situation of domestic express market,using grey prediction model to predict the total express volume in the next five years and determine the main source cities of express.Then analyzing on the relevant national policies and main competitors of high-speed railway express development.Next analyzing the technical guarantee of high-speed railway express processing,containing the coverage of high-speed railway network,technology of freight vehicle,transport organization conditions.The market positioning of high-speed railway express is made from the types of goods,target customers and grade of product service.Finally,analyzing the operation mode of high-speed railway express.(3)Selecting the five quantitative indicators which affecting the choice of transport modes,and establishing the function of generalized transport cost.Then the weight coefficients of each index are determined by analytic hierarchy process.Finally,solving the relationship between the freight share rate and transport distance of aviation,highway and high-speed railway,via Logit model.(4)SWOT analysis is used to analyze the strengths,weaknesses,opportunities and threats of the development of high-speed railway express,and the countermeasures to improve the competitiveness of CRH Express are put forward in terms of transportation facilities and equipment,transportation organization,product positioning and operation modes.
