ABSTRACT

The railway is of great significance for port cargo to achieve collection and distribution. It is necessary to evaluate the coordination of the railway collection and distribution system scientifically in port areas. Based on the research that analyses factors that affecting the coordination of railway collection and distribution system in port areas and constructs a comprehensive evaluation indicator system, this paper innovates a comprehensive evaluation model suitable for studies of the coordination of railway collection and distribution system in port areas by combining the cloud model algorithm with the traditional expert scoring method. Then, this paper will verify the applicability and operability of the model we proposed by representing a case study of the coordination of the railway collection and distribution system in Caofeidian Port Area.
