“…Peyrouse and Raballand [10] indicated that the selection of the transport modes is mainly dependent on time, service, and price. Rich et al [11] described the estimation of a weighted discrete choice model which is applicable for selecting the proper transport mode. According to Wang and Yeo [12], the transport modes differ in level of reliability, safety, and capability.…”

This paper develops a game-theoretic model to analyze the competition between two container freight transportation modes (shipping and railway) using competitive game strategic interactions method, namely, deterrence, by taking account of the most cost-effective scale of the transportation capacity settings. The competition was set against the background of China's Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative as a new situation for intercontinental Sino-Europe container freight transportation. The behavior of each mode (modeled as a carrier, resp.) is characterized by an optimization model with the objective of minimizing its cost by setting optimal basic freight rate and transportation deployment. A firm can use this method to compare the difference in the time value of the cargos and reduce the expense during the whole transportation process. Finally, the developed model is numerically evaluated by a case study of intercontinental transportation between Hefei (China) and Hamburg (Germany). The results show that deterrence effects largely depend on the deterrence objective, and the differential in the cost of two transportation modes tends to be stable with higher values in the deterrence objective. In the new intercontinental circumstance, the mode of railway transportation provides a new way to transport the cargos between China and Europe.

“…Figliozzi (2007) notes that four step models completely ignore the urban tours where vehicles make multiple stops. Another research stream of freight modelling is concerned with econometric models where the interest is in predicting price and demand elasticities (Beuthe et al, 2001;Kremers et al, 2002;de Jong et al, 2004;Rich et al, 2009). Both these research streams deal with aggregated flow of commodities, often 0966-6923/$ -see front matter Ó 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.…”

a b s t r a c tTo address the underreporting of freight from a transport geography point of view, we present a novel analysis of the time and spatial characteristics of disaggregated commercial vehicle activities. The activities were extracted from raw global positioning system (GPS) data collected in South Africa over a sixmonth period for more than 30,000 commercial vehicles. The analyses of the activity chains provide useful characteristics such as activity and chain durations, number of activities per chain, and the spatial extent of the activity chains. Key results indicate that about 60% of activity chains have between 5 and 15 activities per chain while 25% of the chains have 4 or less; 89% of the chains have a duration of 24 hours or less; and approximately 75% of all activities start between 08:00 and 17:00. The paper's contribution is twofold: it firstly demonstrates a methodology to extract and evaluate vehicle activities and activity chains from raw GPS data. Novel results and characteristics about transport geographies in Gauteng, the economic centre of South Africa, are presented. We also report on the sensitivity of the analyses to certain parameters. Secondly, we introduce new metrics to evaluate a geographical area's economic productivity based on commercial activity.

Aunque el transporte de carga por carretera presenta muchos inconvenientes en Colombia, no existe un estudio que demuestre cuáles son las variables que influyen en la elección de un modo para transportar carga, para saber si realmente sería útil un ferrocarril para una determinada región. En este estudio se realiza una investigación cualitativa a través de las técnicas de grupo focal con las empresas importantes de una región, ilustrándose la metodología con el caso de Antioquia; de esta manera, se logran conocer las variables que influyen en la elección de un modo de transporte por parte de las empresas que exportan e importan mercancías. Estas variables serán importantes para futuros trabajos de estimación de la demanda.
