运输管理

章节摘录

版权页：插图：In general, aggregate demand for transportation is inelastic. Freight rate reductions will not dramatically increase the demand for freight transportation because transportation costs generally represent, in the aggregate, less than 4 percent of a product's landed cost, and the demand is a derived demand (to be discussed later). Substantial rate reductions would be required for a meaningful increase in the demand for the product and, consequently, the demand for transportation of that product. On the other hand, if weconsider specific modes of transportation or specific carriers, the demand is generally elastic or price sensitive. The modal share of the aggregate demand is, in part, determined by the rates charged. Reductions in rates charged by a particular mode will usually result in increases in the volume of freight by that mode, other things being equal. This assumes that the mode that reduced the rate is physically capable of transporting the freight.For example, long-haul transportation of new automobiles was dominated by motor carriers in the 1960s and into the 1970s. The railroads developed a new rail car specifically designed to transport new automobiles. This new rail car enabled the railroads to imprve efficiency and reduce the rates that they charged for hauling automobiles and also improved some of the service characteristics of the movements. The percentage of new automobiles hauled by railroads increased with the introduction of the new rail car and the lower rates, and the share of intercity ton-miles of new automobiles trans- ported by motor carriers decreased. Today, motor carriers are usually used primarily to transport new automobiles shorter distances from rail yards to dealerships. Also, when plant locations are close to the points where new cars are needed or where dealers are located, motor transportation is frequently used. So for shorter distances and for movements from the rail freight yard to the dealer the motor carrier is dominant; for the longer hauls, railroads are hauling a larger share of the traffic than previously.
