Analysis of Advantages of Combined Transportation in Transport Corridor

Transportation modes in transport corridors include waterways, railways, highways, aviation, and pipeline. Each mode of transportation has its own characteristics and advantages. As the single transportation mode in the transport corridor has its own shortcomings, several modes of transport can be combined to address these shortcomings in an effective way. Firstly, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to analyze the related factors of transportation modes. Then, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each transportation mode, the factors of which include transportation speed, accessibility, reliability, security, flexibility, convenience, energy consumption, and transport costs. Secondly, the proper transport distance of each transportation mode in the transport corridor is analyzed. Finally, several commonly combined transportation modes are analyzed in, such as waterway-railway transportation, waterway-railway-highway transportation, and waterway-highway transportation. At the same time, we can make reasonable transportation programs under the conditions of transport distance and other transportation restrictions, thus providing a theoretical basis for transport corridor planning and construction.
