Abstract
This study aimed to develop indicators and to establish a procedure that could be used in adjusting functions of a freight station based on many different characteristics of railway logistics Even though previous studies had drawn optimal models using mathematical algorithms there was a difficulty in applying those models Those studies were limited in that they did not consider many different characteristics of railway logistics but were based only on the volume of freight transportation This study established indicators and procedures by considering characteristics of railway logistics to increase the effectiveness in adjusting functions of the freight station and then analyzed changes in the freight transportation volume and efficiency according to function adjustment of the freight station As a result it was shown that the operating cost had decreased more than twofold compared to the transport income via function adjustment of the freight station
