Research on Price of Railway Freight Based on Low-Carbon Economy

Abstract

Transportation is one of the major energy consumption and carbon emission industries. Railway transport is a typical low-carbon transport. To accelerate the green low-carbon transportation development and improve the railway market share, this paper defines the concept of carbon saving profit to study the price of railway freight after the government functions were separated from railway enterprise management. First, taking full account of market factors and on the principle of utility maximization and maximum likelihood method, the sharing ratio model of transportation modes is established. Then consideration is given to both the profit of railway enterprises and social benefits, and income maximization model of railway freight based on low-carbon economy is established. The model can scientifically guide the transportation users who prefer to use resource-saving and environmental-friendly transportation modes, optimize transportation structure, and comprehensively improve the efficiency of transportation system. Finally, case analysis is conducted to verify the rationality and validity of the model, and reference for the rail freight pricing is provided.

Freight Railroad Corporations: Basics and Analysis of Sample Stocks

“…One research in economics introduces the concept of carbon saving profit, and derived new market equilibrium under the current competition model. It found out that with respect to environmental costs, freight rail transport should have a lower price and a higher market share (compare to other transportation methods like highway) [3]. This finding aligns with the economic model of positive externalities, where goods with higher positive/ lower negative externalities will have lower price and higher quantities.…”

Customized Approach to Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculations in Railway Freight Transport

“…Since 2019, the rate of emissions growth has continued to decrease, with transport emissions to be reduced in the near future. Feng et al [26] defined a concept of carbon-saving profit for studying railway freight prices and discussed a maximization model of railway freight based on an established low-carbon economy. Kaewunruen et al [27] mentioned the importance of efficient and feasible approach development for recovering and recycling wasted rolling stocks.…”

Innovation of Urban Circular Economy Growth Path Based on Neural Network

“…Due to the deterioration of the global ecosystem and the frequent occurrence of resource crises, countries all over the world regard the growth of circular economy as the outlet of their own economic growth to varying degrees. The core issue of urban circular economy growth is the establishment and evaluation of urban circular economy index system (Feng et al 2016). Only through a series of index evaluation can we measure the degree of urban circular economy growth, and it is also the premise for urban circular economy growth to enter the operational research stage from the theoretical stage (Xu et al 2021).…”
