Abstract:

The resumption of shipping in the section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal north of the Yellow River can facilitate an economic route for driving the regional connection between the north and south, which is instrumental for adjusting and optimizing the industrial structure. Based on this background and considering the characteristics of the regional freight structure, this study uses a production curve and an allocation rate model to estimate the possible traffic volume that will be induced in the Liaocheng-Dezhou section after shipping resumption between 2025 and 2039. Results show that after shipping resumption, the average annual growth rate of freight transport will be 15.9%, the canal will be capable of undertaking 18.20% of the regional freight transport, and freight transport via the canal between the two cities will reach 783.78 million tons by 2039.

Key words: Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, volume of freight traffic, resumption of shipping, inductive traffic volume
