An Approach to the Economics of the Port's Double-Layer Container Rail Transportation

Abstract

Port gathering and transportation involves a variety of transportation methods, and the economic distance and economic loading (full load rate) of each transportation method are different, that is, the technical and economic indicators are different. This article uses the economic loading concept of transportation economics and distance economic theory to focus on economies of scale and demonstrates the economics of transportation by cost analysis methods. In this paper, this method is first used to determine the economic distance and volume range of water, iron and public transportation modes, quantitatively analyze the advantages and disadvantages of railways in port transportation, and then further determine the economic indicators of railway double-layer containers and analyze the railway double Whether the layered container has achieved an advantage breakthrough on the basis of traditional railway transportation. Example analysis The Ningbo-Shaoxing port gathering and transportation line results show that the railway has an advantage over the road in terms of transportation volume, but at the same time is limited by the transportation distance; railway double-layer containers will further expand railway transportation volume, and railways also have advantages in short-distance gathering and transportation. This article provides a brand-new idea and method for demonstrating the economics of the port's double-layer container railway transportation.
