Study on the Grading System of Highway Freight Terminals

Abstract:

it's necessary to grade and evaluate the highway freight terminals to reduce logistics cost in China. AHP method was put forward to design the evaluation indicator system of highway freight terminals from 7 dimensions concerned with size, stability, integrity, service management capability, equipment and facilities, space adaptability, informatization level. Then, the empirical analysis on 6 highway freight terminals was conducted with the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. By performing weight analysis on relative indicators, the results show that terminal stability, integrity, and service management capability are the critical factors which influence the development of terminals, and should be firstly attended when evaluating and classifying different terminals.
