碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 交通管理科學系 / 102 / This paper analyzed the economic and environmental impacts of the transportation of import and export containers in Taiwan using four scenarios and three different transportation modes: (1) road transportation, (2) rail-road intermodal, and (3) sea-road intermodal. The estimations included the fuel consumption cost, CO2 emissions, carbon emission cost and transportation cost, and two models of total cost minimization are used to evaluate the appropriate distance traveled by trucks, trains and container ships.
The results indicated that intermodal transportation shows more economic and environmental benefits compared to road transportation, and for long distance trips (400-600 km), sea-road intermodal is a better approach than rail-road intermodal with regard to both economic and environmental factors. In the models with and without consideration of time cost, the minimum total cost will occur when rail transportation and container ships are used at a ratio of 1:2 of the total distance travelled and container ships operate the whole route, respectively. If the share of road transportation in the intermodal forms increases, then the total cost will also rise. To sum up, short sea-road intermodal is an appropriate approach for long distances (400-600 km), rail-road intermodal is suitable for medium distances situation (200-400 km), and road transportation best for short distances (100 km or less). This paper thus suggests that minimizing the share of road transportation in intermodal forms, and encourages the transfer of more containers from road to short sea shipping or rail.
