Abstract

In this study, the situations of surface freights and potential demands to be suitable for railway container are analyzed, and the possible predominance ranges of railway in transport cost are estimated by the comparative analysis between railway and truck freight rates in transport distance. Moreover, by a case study, the effects of railway freight transport in the reductions of logistics costs and CO₂ emissions, and the savings of energy are derived. Finally, the relevant issues concerning the actual conditions are discussed.
