INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF CREATION LOGISTIC PARK

One of the main trends of modern economic relations is the transition of priorities from the producer market to the buyer market.In this regard, the ability to combine production, the planning system with individual purchasing preferences is becoming a decisive factor in competition and the economy of the future. As a result, rapid changes in buyers' preferences, their requests for quality of delivery lead to the need to reduce delivery times and volumes, and to reduce reserve stocks of time and materials. Perhaps the second feature is the strengthening of integration processes among countries, particularly in the context of the expansion of the WTO, with the possibility of placing production in countries with cheaper labor and lower tax rates, and the development of international trade has opened up access to cheaper resources.One of the main trends of modern economic relations is the transition of priorities from the producer market to the buyer market.In this regard, the ability to combine production, the planning system with individual purchasing preferences is becoming a decisive factor in competition and the economy of the future.

Evaluation Index System for Railway Hub Logistics Base System Layout Planning, Taking Hefei Railway Hub in China as an Example

The construction of a railway hub logistics base system has many influencing factors and a high construction cost. There is an extremely important social and economic significance to the evaluation of its planning scheme. This study has obtained practical experience from a large number of existing railway hub planning schemes in China, using the analytic hierarchy process. Then, macro- and micro-level layout planning principles were analyzed. Moreover, 16 evaluation indicators were established at the macro and micro levels. The analytic hierarchy process and a comprehensive evaluation index method were used to deal with all indicators and give the score of the planning scheme. Lastly, Hefei railway hub in China was taken as an example to test the theory above

Promoting Intermodal Connectivity at California’s High Speed Rail Stations

High-speed rail (HSR) has emerged as one of the most revolutionary and transformative transportation technologies, having a profound impact on urban-regional accessibility and inter-city travel across Europe, Japan, and more recently China and other Asian countries. One of HSR’s biggest advantages over air travel is that it offers passengers a one-seat ride into the center of major cities, eliminating time-consuming airport transfers and wait times, and providing ample opportunities for intermodal transfers at these locales. Thus, HSR passengers are typically able to arrive at stations that are only a short walk away from central business districts and major tourist attractions, without experiencing any of the stress that car drivers often experience in negotiating such highly congested environments. Such an approach requires a high level of coordination and planning of the infrastructural and spatial aspects of the HSR service, and a high degree of intermodal connectivity. But what key elements can help the US high-speed rail system blend successfully with other existing rail and transit services? That question is critically important now that high-speed rail is under construction in California. The study seeks to understand the requirements for high levels of connectivity and spatial and operational integration of HSR stations and offer recommendations for seamless, and convenient integrated service in California intercity rail/HSR stations. The study draws data from a review of the literature on the connectivity, intermodality, and spatial and operational integration of transit systems; a survey of 26 high-speed rail experts from six different European countries; and an in-depth look of the German and Spanish HSR systems and some of their stations, which are deemed as exemplary models of station connectivity. The study offers recommendations on how to enhance both the spatial and the operational connectivity of high-speed rail systems giving emphasis on four spatial zones: the station, the station neighborhood, the municipality at large, and the region
