Station and Yard Layout in A Kind of Piggyback Transport System
Currently,China lacks a comprehensive equipment system for piggyback transport standards,resulting in frequent transportation,stuffing and unstuffing operations,low transport efficiency,high transportation,and labor costs.In this study,QT1 and QT2 transport vehicles were taken as important carriers to analyze the general layout,main design parameters,as well as railway and road transport flow line organization in the piggyback transport logistics base.Furthermore,an adaptation analysis of the loading and unloading track capacity of the railway stations at the logistics base was conducted to obtain the operation capacity of the loading and unloading track's effective length in different series.Layout standards,advantages,and disadvantages,as well as the layout of piggyback transport stations and yards,were also studied to form a standardized and modularized layout of the piggyback transport stations and yards.The outcomes can be applied to piggyback transport design projects to reduce social logistics costs and boost the development of China's comprehensive transportation system.
