Abstract:
To analyze the competitiveness of intercity transportation modes, a competitiveness analysis model of passenger and freight transportation was constructed, respectively. Considering the differences of the components of generalized cost between private car and public transportation of road intercity transport, the Nested-Logit model was introduced to construct the competitiveness analysis model of different passenger transportation modes. The intercity freight transportation was classified on the basis of characteristic of freight and consignor's sensitivity towards freight rate. Correction factors were proposed to modify the generalized cost function for each freight type. Then, the competitiveness analysis model of different freight transportation modes was constructed based on Influ-Logit model. Taking the intercity passenger and freight transportation modes from Harbin to Jiamusi as an example to carry out an empirical study of the model constructed. Results show that the constructed model can better describe the competitiveness of various intercity passenger and freight transportation modes and the competitiveness under the changes of related influencing factors, which provide theoretical reference for relevant transportation enterprise to formulate optimization strategies, adjust transportation strategies, and enhance their competitiveness.
