Research on Transportation Organization Modes for China Railway Express

In recent years, some cities in China have opened container rail lines to Europe. But their performances gradually show some problems, such as less supply, low frequency, high logistics cost, high no-load rate of backhaul, high financial subsidies of government and other issues. In order to solve these problems, we focused on the topic of how to improve the transportation organization scheme for China Railway Express. In this study, we firstly did a literature review on the China Railway Express. Then, we respectively described the two modes of transportation organization, and further analysed the advantages and disadvantages of the two modes. We concluded that the two modes have both advantages and inevitable disadvantages, and the operators of the China Railway Express should apply different modes according to different supply structure of goods, in order to improve the transport efficiency.
