| Summary | We developed some models to simulate international and domestic maritime unit-loaded cargo flow and modal-sprit ratio in order to measure the impacts of international and domestic transport policy such as port investment, international strategic port policy, and so on. The model can reproduce the cargo flow of current situation and forecast future cargo flow under the situation of undergoing some port policies. |
