  • Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments Lobyrev, Vitaly and Tikhomirov, Andrey and Tsukarev, Taras and Vinokurov, Evgeny Eurasian Development Bank, Institute of Economy and Transport Development 10 May 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/86705/ MPRA Paper No. 86705, posted 18 May 2018 16:33 UTC BELT AND ROAD TRANSPORT CORRIDORS: BARRIERS AND INVESTMENTS Authors: Vitaly Lobyrev; Andrey Tikhomirov (Institute of Economy and Transport Development); Taras Tsukarev, PhD (Econ); Evgeny Vinokurov, PhD (Econ) (EDB Centre for Integration Studies). This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.

  • Evaluation of Rail-Based Multimodal Transportation of Biofuels
    Evaluation of Rail-based Multimodal Transportation of Biofuels Behzad Kordnejad a, Sebastiaan Meijer a a Department of Transport Science, KTH Royal Institute of Technology SE-10044, Teknikringen 72, Stockholm, Sweden E-mail: [email protected], Phone: +46 (0) 8 790 88 17 Abstract This paper aims to analyse the internal and external factors influencing rail-based multimodal transportation of wood biofuel i.e. wood raw materials e.g. chips and branches that are used for production of energy. The analysis is conducted for the Swedish market and by using a bi-sectional qualitative framework. First, a STEEP analysis is conducted in order to analyse the external factors affecting railway transportation of biofuel. STEEP is an acronym for: Social, Technological, Economical, Environmental and Political and it is used as a strategic tool to analyse external factors that influence a business. Second, the internal factors are evaluated through the three main dimensions of sustainability: environmental, economic and social. In essence, it is the factors affecting rail transportation of biofuel and the inherent capability of the rail mode that are addressed. Albeit the two methods are to their nature qualitative approaches, the evaluation is complemented by quantitative analysis of the niche market as well as a case study. A main conclusion from the qualitative analysis is that rail transportation of biofuel faces a number challenges that in many cases are related to a relatively high share of fixed costs and operational inflexibility. The main drivers for it are commonly associated with economies of scale and the relatively low environmental impact. Estimates from the case study show that the break-even distance i.e.

    ANALYSIS OF TRAIN PASSENGER RESPONSES ON PROVIDED SERVICE Case study: PT. Kereta Api Indonesia and Statens Järnvägar (SJ) AB, Sweden ABADI DWI SAPUTRA Supervisor: Lars Haglund Service Science Program Karlstad University Spring 2010 ABSTRACT Railway is one of public transport mode on land transportation. Railways, as mass public transport modes, have unique characteristics. It has large capacity, high safety level, and free from traffic jam. Those characteristics make railway a primary public transportation. In fact, even railway transportation has a lot of benefits for society life but they still faced by the problem. Service quality level of Railways transportation is still low compared with other transportation modes. At present railways operation is still colored with the delay, limited condition vehicle, and unclear train travel information that often disadvantage passengers, and many other services offered fail to attract passengers. These conditions result in decreasing the quality of services and insufficient railways operation. The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between customer satisfaction towards provided service with the desire to do a complaint and to find the factor from service quality that has significant influences to customer satisfaction towards PT KAI services. From that data, and also comparison study between PT Kereta Api Indonesia and Statens Järnvägar (SJ) AB, Sweden, we can recommend the service standards design, service guarantee and complaint handling system that need to be adjusted
