The Study on Hinterland Relevant to Container Port

摘要

This paper aims to study the hinterland relevant to container port to provide theoretical reference for macroscopically layout and scale building of port. First we analyze competition characteristic and actuality of container port and the relationship between port and its interrelated hinterland. Second, we dissertate the necessity to estimate hinterland range of port and discuss a serious theoretical argument about port hinterland, and then after analyzing actual each method of partition port hinterland, we calculate hinterland occupancy rate of each container port in Liaoning province in China based on p-choice probability and the optimal path-searching algorithm and analyze relevant result. As last we obtain the conclusion that container scale building should according as it's interrelated hinterland scale in the whole transport network, not any other factor, to avoid enormous invest waste that is brought by blind competition.
