| With the declining air quality in China as well as the frequent fog and haze,reducing carbon emissions has become the subject of common interest of the wholesociety. Meanwhile, the global energy crisis also forced the community to being aconservation-minded society; energy conservation and emission reduction is the onlyway to achieve the low-emission and energy-efficient development. Transportationindustry is the third most energy consumption sector of all the sectors in China, whichhas a huge volume of carbon dioxide emission. The container transportation betweenthe port and its hinterland is the main source of carbon dioxide emissions. Departurefrom the low-carbon perspective, this paper makes a research on the containertransferring cities in multimodal transportation of Shanghai port, inorder to improvethe container multimodal transportation network and adopt more environmentallyfriendly container transportation.This paper is divided into seven chapters, the maincontent is as follows:First, this paper introduce the composition and current conditions of thecontainer multimodal transportation network and container transferring cities. Theproblems about transport routes, layout of the container transferring cities are pointedout.Secondly, the study uses the carbon dioxide emission calculation model publishedby IPCC to measure carbon dioxide emissions and fuel inputs of the three types oftransport, road transportation, railway transportation and inland waterwaytransportation.Third, the necessity of the rational layout of container transderring cities inmultimodal transportation of Shanghai port is detailed analyzed. Then, this paperemploye the fuzzy C-means clustering analysis to re-layout the container transferringcities in the hinterland of Shanghai Port, divide the scale and scope of the containertransferring cities. Finally, based on the results of the container transferring layout,this paper compares the railway-sea transport and inland waterway-sea transport ofShanghai port in CO2emissions and energy inputs. It also analyzes the carbon taxeson the three types of multimodal transportation in Shanghai port. |
