ABSTRACT

With the proposal of the " the Belt and Road " strategy, China has opened a number of international railway transport trains from China to Europe, including "Chongqing-Europe", "Zhengzhou-Europe", "Chengdu-Europe", etc. The opening of Xi'an International Freight Train "Chang'an" has improved the gathering and radiating capacity of Xi'an inland port, by combining multiple transportation modes, reducing logistics costs and improving customs clearance capacity. In order to further improving the operation efficiency of "Chang'an", this paper makes a comparative study on the opening time, operation route, freight cycle, goods category and other indicators of Xi'an and Chongqing trains, to find the shortage of Chang'an tranis. Finally, we give the promotion countermeasures from the aspects of source organization, route improvement and customs clearance optimization.
