Sensitivity Analysis on Key Factors of Rail-sea Intermodal Transport System of Dry Bulk
With the growing demand of dry bulk in China, rail-sea intermodal transport gets more attention. In order to define the key factors of rail-sea intermodal transport of dry bulk, this study uses system dynamic and modeling software VENSIM to establish system dynamic model of rail-sea intermodal transport of dry bulk, and the case of rail-sea intermodal transport of dry bulk of Meizhou Bay Port in Fujian is simulated and verified by the model. The result shows that the model is feasible and effective. Finally, the key factors in the model are sensitively analyzed, and suggestions for promoting the development of rail-sea intermodal transport in Meizhou Bay have been proposed.
