| Policy measure and plan | Comments |
|
| The rail freight rate policy [5] | To examine the impacts of the rail freight rate policy in Korea in terms of three impacts as follows: (i) on regional economies, (ii) on modal choice, and (iii) on CO2 emissions |
| There is no trade environmental quality for economic efficiency |
|
| The construction of a new railroad transportation-centered logistics system [6] | To examine the strategic alternative plan of a modal shift for the construction of a new railroad transportation-centered logistics system for environmental-friendly logistics, targeting cargo owners and multimodal logistics businesses in South Korea |
| Companies’ recent high interest in environmental-friendly transportation and awareness of green energy caused by the recent rapid increase in oil prices and foreign exchange rate work as positive factors for the modal shift to railroads |
|
| Subsidy, tax, pricing, services, strategic planning and operation, and infrastructure [7] | To examine the impact of policy measures on promoting a modal shift in South Korea |
| The variables of subsidy, tax, and pricing (0.228), services (0.279), and infrastructure (0.528) have a direct effect on the promotion of modal shift |
|
| Policies which encourage the use of intermodal freight transport system [23] | To estimate the trade-off relationships among logistics cost, time, and CO2 emissions of the freight transportation system of Korea |
| The logistics costs were minimized when the mode share of the rail-based intermodal system was 35%, and total travel time in the network was at the minimum when the shared ratio of highway was 99% |
|
| Containerization [22] | To calculate the logistics cost of new devices for containerization as a policy measure; using the new device was more economic than using previous transport packaging |
