Study on Transport Scheme for Easing Congestion in and around Port - Take Colombo Port as an Example

Abstract:

Considering the traffic congestion happened on the roads around Colombo Port, this paper first analyzed the existing problems of Colombo Port. 3 schemes are presented to ease its congestion and comparison is made between them to get the best one. Through this comparison, the scheme that building inland container depots (ICDs) and dock rails is proved to be the best one. Finally, we roughly calculated the cost the road and railway transport in ICDs and draw a conclusion that constructing ICDs can save much money in near future operation.
