Research on Multicriteria Decision-Making Scheme of High-Speed Railway Express Product Pricing and Slot Allocation under Competitive Conditions

Abstract

Scientifically and reasonably pricing products and allocating slots are key to improving the profitability and competitiveness of high-speed railway expresses. In this research, we focus on the freight transportation pricing and slot allocation of high-speed railway express companies in a competitive environment. The goals of this research are to make decisions on the pricing and slot allocation schemes of the high-speed railway express between sections through the method of multicriteria decision making, and then to test these changes in reality. This research innovatively takes the high-speed freight Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train as its research object and innovatively applies the revenue management theory to high-speed railway express research in a competitive environment, proposing a comprehensive decision-making model based on the sharing rate model. The results show that, by adopting the scheme proposed in this research, the income of high-speed railway express companies can be increased by 13.6%. In addition, the method proposed in this research also enriches the current theory on high-speed railway freight transportation, providing strategies for companies to expand their market and increase profit.
