Itroucto Ral-sea multmoal trasport meas cargo s trasporte by ral to the sea port for shppg or by shp to the sea port for ralway trasportato. The whole process of trasportato requres oe eclarato, oe specto a oe release. The efto of ry port s o the bass of sea port. The ry port evelope la area s hopg to expa la cargo for sea port, attractg trae a exteg busess [-2]. Ral-sea multmoal trasport s the ma trasportato a orgazato moe for ry port teractg wth sea port [3]. Some ry ports are also calle teratoal la ports, because of the fferetal fucto of mportg a exportg cargo la area by ral a roa [4]. Take Ngbo-Zhousha sea port as a example, the ry ports are postvely establshe to ope ral-sea multmoal trasport corror, brgg to crease of cotaer. Ngbo-Zhousha sea port alreay has twelve ry ports clug three out of local provce, whch are Xagyag, Shagrao a Ygta. Dry ports of Ngbo-Zhousha have fuctos of cargo orgazato, cotaer provso a supervso, la truck short barge a ral agecy, whch make great cotrbuto for ral-sea termoal cotaer. Ngbo-Zhousha port sets up a brach Jagx a work offce Xjag. The servce platform of ral-sea multmoal trasport s bult to coorate the orgazato of ralway trasport a promote the evelopmet of multmoal trasport of Ngbo-Zhousha port [5]. Ngbo-Zhousha port evelops ral-sea multmoal trasport wth Chogqg a provces of Zhejag, Jagx, Ahu, Hube, Schua, X'a a Xjag. Seve cotaer tras of ral-sea multmoal trasport have bee lauche, clug Shaoxg, Ywu, Jhua, Lax, Tazhou, Hefe, Yta-Shagrao oes. The Chegu-Chogqg cotaer tra wll also be set up the future [6]. I 205, the cotaer volume of ral-sea multmoal trasport of Ngbo-Zhousha port s 70,500 TEU, wth a crease of 26.2%. The growth rate cotues to rak avace of

For further evelopmet of Ngbo-Zhousha port, the extee costructo of ral-sea multmoal trasport eee to be stue, especally Chese wester areas. 2. Relate Works Nowaays the cocept of ry port s efe clearly a ts evelopmet s atoal we cover. I geeral, there s a stct graual stage a characterstc of ry port's evelopmet [7]. However, there s stll a strog teral a cosst logc urg the whole pero. The ma goal s ehacg the level of logstcs servces a servg the regoal ecoomc evelopmet [8]. The evelopmet of Chese ry port has goe through three stages. The prmary stage of ts theory a practce s from 2000 to Cha etere to the Worl Trae Orgazato December, 200. It rectly promote the evelopmet of Chese ry port. The key pot of ry port evelopmet s the coveece of customs clearace. May la ctes a coastal ports are ot the same customs terrtory. Ila cargo ees to be traste across fferet customs. Ths leas to low clearace effcecy a log clearace tme. Ths oes o help to shorte the tme of settlemet a tax rebate a crculate eterprse fu [9]. Therefore, the accesso to the WTO proves a goo opportuty for the evelopmet of Chese export-orete ecoomy, a puts forwar ew requremets for further mprovemet of port effcecy. Chese frst ry port project was set up October The start of ry port marke wth the cooperato betwee Taj port a Bejg's Chaoyag ry port. The further evelope stage of theory a practce of ry port s from 2006 to 202. The US subprme mortgage crss 2007 leae to outbreak of the global facal crss It ha egatve mpact o the evelopmet of Chese ry port [0]. Therefore, a large umber of teratoal logstcs ports were bult to meet the ees of the evelopmet of teratoal trae atoal we areas. It helpe to stregthe the logstcs frastructure costructo, accelerate the evelopmet of ral-sea multmoal trasport a mprove the capacty of teratoal cargo trast []. It helpe to spee up the evelopmet of teratoal logstcs to meet the ees of teratoal trast, procuremet, strbuto a etrepot busess [2]. The mature stage of theory a practce of ry port s from 202 to 206. Preset X Jpg mae a major tatve of Oe Belt a Oe Roa 203. It prove a excellet opportuty for evelopmet of Chese ry port. The key pot of trasport evelopmet s the key corrors, oes a projects of traffc frastructure [3]. Beses ths, the mssg sectos ees to be opee up avace a the roa bottleecks ees to be smoothe [4]. The roa safe a protecte facltes a traffc maagemet equpmet are also mprove to ehace the level of roa coveece. The whole a ufe mechasm of trasportato coorato are establshe a promote. It wll help to coect the teratoal customs, reloa a multmoal trasport. The compatble staar trasport rules a teratoal trasport facltato wll be realze. Port frastructure costructos are promote. The corror of multmoal trasport s clear. The cooperato of port costructo s promote. The govermet plays a gug role the costructo of ry port. The eterprses are the rvg force for promotg the evelopmet of ry port [5]. The cotaer hub port s cetere the ral-sea multmoal trasport. It coects wth rver port, feeg port, feeer port a ralway cotaer halg stato, helpg to expa the ma port's attracto of cotaer cargo a exte to the la hterla ceter [6]. Every ry port's freght stato wll attract sutable cotaer cargo to a certa extet. The cotaer freght stato a trasportato route are forme wth outwar raate ecoomc zoe lke pot-lear shape [7]. A complete ustral cha of cotaer trasport s forme for the evelopmet of graet logstcs corror. The meag of corror of cotaer ral-sea multmoal trasport shoul be aalyze from harware a software composto. The harware structure s the ecessary fouato of cotaer trasportato [8]. It clues frastructure equpmet, ralway etwork, harbor, corror, wharf, yar, etc. The software structure s the guaratee of staarzato, orer a tellgece of cotaer trasportato. It clues the relevat polcy guace, formato techology a platform, avace maagemet level, etc. Chese govermet carre out sx emostrate project of cotaer ral-sea multmoal trasport sce 20, clug areas of Dala - ortheast, Taj - orth a orthwest, Qgao - Zhegzhou a Logha earby, Layugag - Alataw Pass earby, Ngbo - east a Shezhe - south a southwest. Ths project takes avatages of ralway cotaer trasportato, clug eergy savg, evrometal protecto, large volume, less lmte wth weather cotos a we rage of strbute pots [9]. The combato of ral a sea trasport s powerfully to ehace the compettveess of shppg eterprses, allevate the trasportato pressure of port cty a mprove the qualty a level of port evelopmet. 3.

It s use to mata the ralway costructo a preservato. As for 20 feet staar cotaers, the geeral charge s RMB / TEU km. c) Ralway electrfcato cost Whe the tra travels to the electrfe secto, t s ecessary to a cost to fll the electrcty cosumpto of the electrfe secto. I ths paper, there s lttle secto of ralway electrfcato from Ngbo to southwest, thus the electrfcato cost s eglgble. ) Atoal fees Atoal fees cota share fee of ew ralway, ralway equpmet usage fee, halg fee, auxlary work a so o. These charges are use to meet the ralway operatg expeses a esure the ralway trasport wth certa proft Trasportato Tme (T) The trasportato tme s the sum tme cosume from eparture to estato. I practce, t cotas travel tme of each secto, cargo loag a uloag tme the trasfer stato a the storage tme. I geeral, the average spee of roa trasportato Cha s 90km/h. The average spee of ralway trasportato s 80km/h. The average spee of waterway trasport Yagtze Rver s about 3 kots (24 km/h). There s a rect relatoshp betwee the trast tme a the trasportato stace. Certa tme s cosume the trast or trasshpmet operato of cotaer trasport. The trasport tme s affecte by the resstace factors the trasportato. Geerally speakg, the key factor affectg the trasportato tme s stll the trasportato moe a stace Trasportato Qualty (Q) The evaluato ex of trasportato qualty s maly the goos loss a amage percetage. I the process of trasportato, heavy ra, typhoo, w, waves a roa cotos easly cause amage to the goos. The trasportato qualty s also cosere wth the factors that reuce the loss of goos a rsk of trast wth hgher qualty. The trasportato qualty Q s maly cosere wth the possblty of cargo amage the trasport. As for kow, the possbltes of cargo amage va roa, ralway a waterway are 5%, 3% a 2.6%. The formula of calculatg the possblty of cargo amage s as follows. j V = V + Vj + j + j (4), s the stace of trasport moe, stace of trasport moe j;, s the possblty of cargo amage of trasport moe, possblty of cargo amage of trasport moe j. 4.
