综合运输

1—10月邮政行业业务收入同比增25．7％国家邮政局近日公布的数据显示,今年1-10月,邮政企业和全国规模以上快递服务企业业务收入（不包括邮政储蓄银行直接营业收入）累计完成1616．6亿元,同比增长25．7％;业务总量累计完成1621．2亿元,同比增长24．5％。10月份,全行业业务收入完成160．8亿元,同比增长31.5％;业务总量完成177．7亿元,同比增长32．1％。     

为什么快递企业建议不实行行政许可?

多数非邮政快递企业经理认为,由于《行政许可法》的设立许可原则规定申请人是要经营带有普遍服务特种业务的对象,而快递企业不经营上述业务,因此不宜实行行政许可制度.但为了规范管理和服务好快递业,有必要实行备案登记制度.

A multi‐objective approach to the parcel express service delivery problem

Parcel express service in many countries assumes door‐to‐door delivery of parcels and small packages in the fastest possible way. Delivery companies usually organize hub delivery networks, as flows between hubs are characterized by the economy of scale effect. At hubs, parcels are exchanged across vans, trucks, and planes. To organize parcel delivery in a specific region, the parcel delivery company must make appropriate decisions about the total number of parcel delivery hubs, their locations, and the allocation of demand for facilities' services to facilities. These issues are modeled in this paper as a multi‐objective problem. The model developed is based on compromise programming and genetic algorithms. We also demonstrate in the paper an interactive manner in which a defined problem can be solved. The proposed model could be implemented in large‐scale networks. The paper also shows a case study of parcel delivery service in Serbia. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The experience of express coach deregulation in Great Britain

This paper reviews the effect of express coach deregulation in Britain following the Transport Act 1980. The authors have monitored the range of services offered before and after the Act, using operators' literature, roadside surveys, on-vehicle passenger interviews and interviews with operators as sources of information. These are used to present an overall picture of express deregulation, with particular reference to changes in real fare levels, and also the relative importance of competition within the coach industry compared with that of inter-modal competition (that between coach and rail). The latter has emerged as more significant.The greater part of the paper is devoted to analysis of the long-distance market but the development of commuter coach services into central London is also examined, together with the reasons why independent operators have secured a larger share of this market.

The value of service reliability

This paper studies the impact of service frequency and reliability on the choice of departure time and the travel cost of transit users. When the user has (α, β, γ) scheduling preferences, we show that the optimal head start decreases with service reliability, as expected. It does not necessarily decrease with service frequency, however. We derive the value of service headway (VoSH) and the value of service reliability (VoSR), which measure the marginal effect on the expected travel cost of a change in the mean and in the standard deviation of headways, respectively. The VoSH and the VoSR complete the value of time and the value of reliability for the economic appraisal of public transit projects by capturing the specific link between headways, waiting times, and congestion. An empirical illustration is provided, which considers two mass transit lines located in the Paris area.

The exceptional service of driverless metros

Automated People Movers can be classified on the basis of scale as “architectural”, institutional”, and “mass transit”. The paper examines mass transit applications in both America and overseas, with emphasis on experience in France, Great Britain, Copenhagen, Canada, and Japan. The benefits of automation are discussed.     

The small package air freight industry in the United States: A review of the federal express experience

The growth in air freight traffic in the United States can be attributed to the increasing demand for fast and reliable delivery of small and time-sensitive packages. A solution to the problem appears to be an all-cargo airline that can directly operate its own vehicles in a more coordinated fashion and can achieve the economy-of-scale by consolidating traffic. An example can be found in Federal Express—a small package airlines—which provides direct, single source door-to-door service through its own fleet of aircrafts and pickup/delivery trucks. Traffic is bundled up from thin density markets via a concentrated operation in Memphis. These two features in conjunction allow services to be rendered economically to small medium-size cities. The relative youth and entrepreneurship of the airline means that ideas and management techniques are often configured from afresh and executed with diligence. The airline, long qualified as an air taxi, has operated with a large degree of freedom outside the confines of regulatory controls. As the company expands and as a set of national air cargo regulations are evolving, some of the advantage enjoyed by the company may be negated. The future success of the “Federal Express Model” is an interesting case study for both practitioners and researchers in the air freight industry.

The states and passenger rail service

In recent years, a number of states have acted to expand the passenger rail services provided to their citizens by subsidizing Amtrak. Subsidizing states tend to be relatively metropolitan, with large tourist industries, large populations, relatively liberal electorates (for 1980 subsidy decisions), and a history of efforts to protect the environment. Multivariate analysis indicates that population, electoral liberalism, and environmental concern play key roles in shaping subsidy decisions, although electoral liberalism has little influence on 1985 subsidies.
