A study on the Evaluation of the Freight Train Network using High Speed Passenger Tracks

Recently, in freight transport, it is necessary to shift a transportation mode from trucks to railroad or marine transportation in view of environment and traffic problems. Additionally, special delivery and light cargo are increasing, so it needs to examine the modal shift measures. In this study, we proposed a modal choice method which considered road networks and schedule for railroad, marine transportation and airline, and freight departure time. Besides, we estimated each goods time value in freight transport. Furthermore, we suggested a new freight transport system which uses high speed passenger trucks and evaluated its impact on freight transport cost and CO2 emissions.
