LHOFT - Liverpool - Humber Optimisation of Freight Transport

LHOFT项目——利物浦——亨伯优化货物运输独特汇集了结合强度的主要货物所有者(联合利华)两个关键港口运营商两端的M62走廊(ABP亨伯和皮端口默西河)结合专家从铁路行业投入一项研究让赫尔大学物流研究所开发端到端旅程模型,促进贸易的转移从长途南北道路通往该国东部和西部港口的航线。这些货运旅程可以通过铁路的使用进一步优化，并为英国公路系统上的货运里程数量提供了巨大减少的潜力。该大学将开发的技术将使多个货主能够集中货物，以降低通过北部港口的新海运和铁路服务的风险，从而消除目前阻碍更多货物使用北部港口的风险障碍。目标流量包括前往欧洲大陆的渡轮服务，以及货物始发或目的地位于M62走廊的所有集装箱服务。

The LHOFT Project - Liverpool - Humber Optimisation of Freight Transport uniquely brings together the combined strength of a major cargo owner (Unilever) the two key port operators at each end of the M62 corridor (ABP on the Humber and Peel Ports on the Mersey) to combine with experts from the rail industry to input into a study lead by the University of Hull's Logisitics Institute to develop an end-to-end journey model that promotes the diversion of trade from long distance North-South road routes to ports on the East and West of the country. These freight journey's could be further optimised by the use of rail and offers the potential for a huge reduction in the number of freight miles on the UK road system. Technology to be developed by the University will enable multiple cargo owners to pool volumes to de-risk new sea and rail services through northern ports so removing risk barrier that prevents more cargo using northern ports today. Flows to be targetted include ferry services to the continent and all container services where the origin or destination of the cargo is on the M62 corridor.
