Intermodal transport in freight distribution: a literature review

There has been significant growth in research on intermodal transport in freight distribution since the 1990s. Differentiating itself from previously published literature reviews, this paper evaluates the current state of this research using Systematic Literature Review methodology. The complementary aims are: (a) to identify the research lines developed and to propose a criterion for classifying the literature, and (b) to discuss the empirical evidence that identifies existing interrelationships. The analysis has enabled three main lines of research to be identified. The first research line, basic principles of intermodal transport, groups together works related to the definition of intermodal transport and the results obtained using this transportation system. The second, improvements to the way that intermodal transport systems work, frames elements and variables that impact intermodal transport systems’ logistics efficiency, such as quality of service, information and communication systems, and freight planning and linkages among system operators to provide an adequate service. Finally, the third line, intermodal transport system modelling, identifies the main variables used to optimise these transport systems, the different focuses and approaches used in modelling, and the advantages and disadvantages of each focus. These research lines take in more specific sublines that incorporate articles that develop related research questions. Lastly, the discussion of the content of each of these research sublines enables us to identify gaps in the literature and comment on directions for future research.     

长江三角洲城际轨道交通的发展

长江三角洲地区经济发达,人员流动频繁,尽管其交通网络比较发达,但仍然与经济的快速增长不适应。因此,迫切需要加快建设以开行高密度公交化旅客列车为特征的新型城际轨道交通,从而建立现代化的综合交通体系,发挥区位优势,建立资源节约型、环境友好型社会。要坚持与区域总体规划密切配合、合理选择线网等原则,遵循长江三角洲城际轨道交通线网规划的发展目标,加快建设步伐,构建长江三角洲地区综合交通运输体系。     

新冠肺炎疫情对交通运输行业的影响及政策建议

2019年底开始的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情对交通运输行业造成了明显冲击。为分析疫情对当前交通运输行业带来的影响,重点从客运、货运、港口生产、交通固定资产投资四方面进行了研究。然后,提出了四方面政策建议,包括加强交通运输疫情防控、积极发挥交通投资稳定器作用、加大高速公路通行服务保障和确保关系国计民生的重点物资基本运输需求,以便为各级交通运输管理部门决策提供参考,争取将疫情对行业的影响降到最低程度。     

托运人在不同时空下的选择行为差异揭示

某一因素对托运人选择行为的影响会随着空间和时间变化. 既有研究多关注特定空间或时间的托运人选择行为,较少进行横向(空间)和纵向(时间)比较. 为探索托运人选择行为差异及变化规律,采集不同时空的5 个数据集,构建多类线性或非线性效用函数的多项 Logit 模型及混合Logit 模型. 结果表明：在空间维度,某一地区托运人选择行为与其他地区显著不同;在时间维度,伴随货运业快速发展,货运方式选择模型适用年限呈缩短趋势.     

公路零担货运行业网络结构的国际比较分析

公路零担货运业是典型的网络型产业,网络化的运输组织是提升运输效率的关键,而各种内、外部因素与零担货运业网络结构的形成密切相关.本文重点运用产品—资源—网络(PRN)的运输经济学分析框架,对中国、美国、欧洲公路零担货运行业的网络结构进行了比较,从产业结构、政府管制、商业习惯等角度对三者之间的差异性进行了剖析.通过研究发现,公路零担货运业的网络结构,在受到网络经济内在规律支配的同时,又受到一个国家经济和产业结构、政府管制政策、商业习惯等多种因素的影响,从而使得各国间零担货运业的网络和产品形态、资源结构等产生变异.研究成果对促进公路零担货运业网络化发展具有理论和现实意义.     

站场信息化管理解决方案

目前公路货运站场管理模式低下,科技含量甚少,企业再发展前景渺茫,必须依靠新的高科技手段,采用信息化管理方案,以新的经营理念,打造出可持续发展的交通站场企业模式来。     

铁路客货运输组织系统特性的比较分析

论文以理论研究为主,运用具体的系统概念和方法对铁路旅客运输组织和货物运输组织两者的系统结构、功能进行了详细的分析和研究。在研究过程中,通过对铁路旅客和货物运输组织系统的特点和本质进行比较,从信息传递和控制等角度提出了两者的基本特性,最后,总结了两者的主要区别和联系。     

浅议加强道路货物运输管理的意义与方法

道路货物运输与人民群众的生产、生活密切相关,直接影响人民群众的利益和经济建设的发展,而通过对资源的管理,也就是对货源的管理,对改善公路行车条件和行车安全具有重要意义。     

Breakthrough innovations in intermodal freight transport

Breakthrough innovations, whether technological, organizational or both, are a necessity if the market share of intermodal freight transport is to expand. The main growth potential lies in the markets for flows over short distances, for perishable and high-value commodities, for small consignments, and for flows that demand speed, reliability and flexibility. It will take radical innovations to produce a breakthrough in the modal split and allow these new markets to be conquered. This special issue is based on papers presented at an international conference on freight transport automation and multimodality, held in Delft in May 2002, that are illustrative of the direction of breakthrough research and development (R&D) aimed at increasing the market share for intermodal transport.
