Appearance of Integrated Transportation Hub

Hongqiao Integrated Transportation Hub, Shanghai

Super station: connecting airport, high-speed railway,

maglev train, subway and bus

External transport throughput in 2020: 600,000

Main Problems

Railway and inland-waterway have developed

behind highway, and excessive transport

committed by vehicles

High quality transport service scarce

Integrated intermodal transport

develops slowly

Lack of sustainable capital support

Priorities of Development

1. Forming perfect integrated transport

infrastructure networks

2. Developing efficient, economical

integrated transportation corridors

3. Improving integrated regional

transportation system

4. Building modern logistics and

distribution system

Priorities of Development

5. Putting more priority in urban public traffic

6. Developing inter-city railways in region and

urban agglomerations

7. Building perfect regional layout of integrated

passenger transportation hubs and logistics hubs

8. Strengthening the way of transport going

green and environmental protection

Integrated Transport Planning in Region of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province

Connectivity of transport infrastructure

Suitable transport structure

More convenient transport service

Public transport plays a leading role

3 Prospects for Development of Intermodal Logistics Service in China

Building Complete Logistics System

• Coal

• Crude oil

• Iron ore

• Grain

• Steel

Integrating Resource along Transport Chain

• Develop integrated multi-modal transport, establishing relative law, policy and standards

• Integrate dispersive cargo resources and transport enterprises based on internet

Integrating Resource along Transport Chain

• Integrate container transport between railway and

waterway, with transport volume approaching to 2

million TEU per-year now

• Six major container seaports are inspired to

develop integrated container transport

• More attention are paid to build railways

connecting ports

Constructing Basic Urban Logistics Network

• Form fine layout of logistics parks and distribution

centers in city

• Avoid excessive trucks into urban areas

• Improve management to reduce stress on

transport safety and environment raised by

express transportation

Constructing Basic Rural Logistics Network

• Build rural distribution center network

• Support comprehensive use of kinds of

infrastructure in commerce, post and agriculture

• Extend functions of rural passenger transportation

hub to logistics service
