The potential field concept is introduced to the modeling. Two categories of potential fields: circumstance potential field and individual potential field are defined to provide access to model the passenger decision process influenced by facility arrangement and interference among passengers. Three kinds of latent effects during pedestrian movement, including deterrent effect, guide effect and rejection effect are considered as major factors in the definition of individual potential field. Fundamental diagram test experiment and bi-directional walking experiment run for the model validation and coefficient performance verification. The experimental results show good performance of the model on reflecting collective behavior and behavior under particular circumstances. The presented model is effective in capturing and generating the passenger walking behavior in complicated environment. Keywords-passenger behavior; potential field; simulation model; transport hubsI. I NTRODUCTIONUnban transport hubs are important nodes in the urban transportation network, which are also necessary public places in citizens’ trip process. Most of the transport hubs experience very high levels of pedestrian density. Thus, study of passenger behavior in the hubs is significant for public safety, and also for hub operation efficiency improvement.Existing representative pedestrian models include Benefit Cost Model[1](Gipps&Marksjo,1985), Cellular Automata Model[2-7](Blue&Adler,1998), Social Force Model[8-10](Helbing,1995), Lattice-Gas Model (Hardy), Gas-Kinetic Model[11](Hoogendoorn,2000) etc.. These models provided effective method and tool for pedestrian group behavior[12-17] study. But for the passengers in hubs, existing models can’t be directly applied. Thus, study of model dedicated for passengers in hubs considering passengers behavior characteristics is necessary.Potential field[18-20] concept and methodology has been introduced to the grid-based pedestrian modeling[21]in recent years. Burstedde[22] presented Floor Field Model using static field and dynamic field to model pedestrian movement. The dynamic field generation is mainly based on pedestrian’s guiding effect. These kind of models are mainly used on simulation of evacuation movement[23, 24]. Potential field cooperation method is presented in this paper,introducing description of hub circumstance and pedestrian latent interactions to model the passenger behavior.II.P ASSENGER B EHAVIOR I NTERACTIONC HARACTERISTICSince there are time-space attributes of hub circumstance, and self-organization attributes of passenger movement, passengers behavior in the hub shows several characteristics different from other circumstances.First, passengers belong to different teams with different targets. The paths of different teams vary with dedicated regularity related to the infrastructure and capacity of facility.Second, details of passenger behavior depend on not only the common rules but also the facility limit.Third, attribute diversity of passengers influences the group performance.Fourth, passenger behavior depends on not only subjective desire, but also circumstance and effect from other passengers.These characteristics make it difficult to describe passenger behavior with common modeling methods. Thus, passenger behavior modeling has to consider the description of interaction from circumstance and other passengers.III. P ASSENGER B EHAVIOR M ODELThree inducements of passenger behavior are considered here: the individual will, circumstance of hub, and interaction from other passengers. On the basis of potential field theory considering latent effect, circumstance potential field and individual potential field are introduced to describe the effect of passenger will, hub circumstance and interaction among passengers. Tendency proportion is defined to integrate the effect of these two potential fields. Thus, passenger behavior of direction choice, adjustment and moving can be triggered.A. Basic DefinitionAccording to the ergonomics theory[25], human body can be regarded as an elliptic basic unit (61cm ×45.6cm). The model is based on a two-dimensional system with a square of cell grid as the underlying structure. The cell size, 0.45 m on a side, partitions the lattice at the individual passenger level (Fig. 1). The cell can be empty, or be occupied by a single passenger, or be occupied by hub facility. Passenger movement can be performed by continuous update.Figure 1.Passenger and movement spaceThere are several attributes of passenger behavior, including passenger target in hub (such as transfer), instant speed and instant direction. Passenger behavior is triggeredby cell attributes setting and changing. Cell attributes includepotential field value of three potential fields: circumstance potential field, waiting potential field and moving potentialfield. The last two can be regarded as individual potential field. Cell attributes are shown in Table Ι. Definition of these two kinds of potential fields are introduced in following chapters.TABLE I.C ELL A TTRIBUTE(,)x y occupyCQ ,C wE ,C mEB. Hub Circumstance Modeling1) Circumstance Potential Field DefinitionCircumstance potential field is defined to model the hub circumstance: there is a potential field in an arbitrary circumstance for passenger movement, which influences the passengers with dedicated target or motive. The circumstance potential field act on the passengers by the relative potential energy. Circumstance potential field value of each cell can be valued by the energy cost (time, distance etc.) for moving to the reference point[26](final target cell). Thus, passengers move from cell with high potential energy to those with low.2) Circumstance Potential Field GenerationCircumstance potential field is supposed to model different time and space circumstances in the hub by the setting of field generation time and mode.a) Field generation time periodPre-generated circumstance potential field is fixed according to the facility arrangement. Instant generated circumstance potential field is set and adjusted with the train arrival/departure or the change of passenger organization strategy. Fig. 2 shows a case of instant generated circumstance potential field for train alighting/boarding position in metro station.b) Field generation modeDifferent circumstance potential fields are generated for passengers with different targets. For example, in the ticket area, there are two categories of fields: one for passengers with tickets (Fig. 3(b)), who are going to the paid area. And the other is for passengers without tickets (Fig. 3(c)), whodoordoorCircumstance potential field value(b) Circumstance potential field for boarding passengersBoarding passengerdoordoor door(train departure and boarding not permitted )doorFigure 2. Circumstance potential field generationFigure 3. Environment potential field subdivisionC. Passenger Interaction Effect ModelingThere are several latent effects during pedestrian movement. Three of them are considered as major factors in the modeling. Deterrent effect performed on the opposite passengers which may trigger preventing collision behavior (Fig. 4(a)). Guide effect performed on the passengers at back which may trigger following behavior (Fig. 4(b)). Rejection effect performed on the passengers around which may trigger bypassing behavior (Fig. 4(c)).Figure 4. Passenger latent effectsIndividual potential field is defined to describe the latenteffects in a dedicated effect area Ωr p among passengers[27].The individual potential field performs by setting value tocells according to special rules. Individual potential fieldsimulates positive and negative effects from otherpassengers, guiding the individual to act under a simulateddecision. The individual potential field is composed of twoparts: moving field generated during walking period, andwaiting field generated during stopping period(Fig. 5).

S IMULATIONA. Fundamental Diagram ValidationSimulation experiments run on a circular lattice[2] of22.5×22.5m, which permits experiment under fixedpassenger density. Passengers with initial speed 1.35 m/s are distributed randomly in the lattice of cells. Fig. 9 shows comparison of presented model, CA modeland Fruin[29] data of speed-density relationship under 10density levels.Figure 9. Fundamental diagram (speed-density)Fig. 10 shows comparison of presented model, CA model and HCM[30] data of flow-occupancy relationship under 5occupancy levels.Figure 10. Fundamental diagram (flow-occupancy)Fundamantal diagrams show good performance ofpresented model on reflecting basic relationship.B. Sensitive Coefficient PerformanceBi-directional experiments run on a circular lattice of 22.5×22.5m. Two groups of passengers with equal scale take bi-directional walking with average speed of 1.35m/s. Performance of sensitive coefficients β2 and β3 is estimated when decay coefficient and diffusion coefficient are both 0.5.Fig. 11 shows instance status of simulation test.(a) 23:0:1ββ= (b) 23:1:0ββ=Figure 11. Bi-directional walking test (density=1.5 p/m 2)The results show that: β2, as sensitive coefficient of moving potential field, mainly effects on following and preventing collision behavior. β3, as sensitive coefficient of waiting potential field, mainly effects on bypassing behavior in high density area. Tendency of lane formation is easier with larger β2. Tolerance degree of stopping status decreases with larger β3. Average speed is at highest level when β2: β3=1:1. Deceleration happens for high density caused by excessive lane formation with larger β2. And also happens for high interference between two groups caused by less evident lane formation with larger β3.V.C ONCLUSIONThe presented simulation model captures individual characteristics and group behaviors which were once difficult to model. Deterrent effect, guide effect and rejection effect are considered as latent effects in passenger interaction modeling.Circular lattice experiments show perfect performance of the presented model on capturing collective behavior traits with the comparison of classic model and experience data. Bi-directional walking experiments denote that the presented model shows various performances under the condition of different sensitivity coefficients. The modeled passengers appear to exhibit reasonable intelligence and diversity, including response to the circumstances and effects from other passengers.The model provides effective methods and tools for passenger organization and safe design practices in transport hubs. Further research has to be done to perform more observations and extend the parameter calibration and validation.A CKNOWLEDGMENTThis work was sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China (60674012).

Now imagine planning the same event but not knowing when or where it will take place, how many spectators will attend or how many athletes will compete. The near impossibility of this task gives some insight into what humanitarian logisticians are up against. What's more, logistical shortcomings and oversights in the humanitarian context may result in serious consequences for the victims of disasters and could literally mean the difference between life and death. So they have to get it right, and fast.Emergencies test the reactivity and capacity of humanitarian agencies, and often overwhelm them in the first few days. During an emergency relief operation private sector partners can assist the humanitarian agencies with readily accessible assets and skills to meet demand in the field. This may be pro bono or at cost, helping to keep the overall expense of the operation down and enhancing speed in the first few days of a response. This is where this book comes in...The authors are grateful for the support of the INSEAD Social innovation Centre in the development of this book.

Chapter 1 Why China Works中国是今年唯一呈现出重大发展的主要经济体(economy),由于它通常是唯一敢于打破经济教科书中每一条例的经济体。
事实上,中国不像其他五大经济体那样发展缓慢的主要原因是,它宏观调控的能力(its capacity for macro-economic control)。
为什么中国市场经济体系奏效?(market economic system)目前,欧美等国正通过银行及汽车业国有化及金融业实施新的有力规定(regulations),走向宏观调控。
但问题更加紧迫(the question has a new urgency)。
中国看上去最能驾驭(navigate)七十年内最糟的经济滑坡(downturn)。
在危机中,中国官员既能吸取像西方同行(counterparts)的传统市场工具,也能吸取中国市场经济体系的积累经验(arsenal)。
去年早期,由于房地产市场(housing market)过热,中国官员仅命令银行削减房贷(cut back on housing loans),然后随着房屋销售量下降(fall),他们提供类似更低的房屋购置税(lower taxes on home purchases)。
最近几周,他们展开类似西方的经济救援行动(launch economic rescue efforts),其中包括价值6000亿的大计划以增加政府开支和大幅利率削减(ramp up government spending)(big interests cuts)。
但同时,他们也发布在西方国家眼里是不合理的干涉的命令,例如,上周中国官员召集包括钢铁建筑等行业的国有行业并购(buy up)国内外新资产(at home and abroad)以积极(actively)发挥在经济中的作用。
曾把中国宏观调控视为不成熟经济的弊病(immature economy),现在是稳定的保障(bulwark of stability)。

U10The alchemists of finance金融魔法点石成金May 17th 2007From The Economist print edition(本文由ECO论坛dtchengxc翻译,原文版权归经济学人集团(The Economist Newspaper Limited)所有,译文版权归译者所有,未经授权,不得转载,谢谢合作!)漫画作者玛丽亚•吉夫斯(Maria Jeeves)Global investment banks are taking ever more risk, and are devising ever more sophisticated ways of spreading it, says Henry Tricks. Is that reassuring or worrying?亨利•特里克斯(Henry Tricks)说:“全球的投资银行正承受着越来越大的风险,也在设计着越来越复杂的分散风险的方法。
”这究竟是会让人放心还是让人担心?AT LEAST since 1823, when Byron's Don Juan described “Jew Rothschild, and his fellow Christian Baring” as the “true Lords of Europe”, investment bankers have inspired awe, envy and, rightly or wrongly, a measure of disdain. Exactly 100 years ago the undisputed patriarch of the modern industry, J. Pierpont Morgan, stemmed the Panic of 1907, a financial crisis caused by unregulated trusts (the hedge funds of their day). Acting, in effect, as lender of last resort from his Wall Street office, he was briefly feted before Americans realised the danger of having such power vested in one man. Cartoonists then mercilessly mocked him. After his death in 1913 the Federal Reserve was set up.不晚于1823年——那时拜伦(Byron)在《唐璜》(Don Juan)中将“犹太人罗思柴尔德(Rothschild)和他的同伙基督徒巴林(Baring)”称为“欧洲真正的主宰”,投资银行家们博得了敬畏、羡慕以及一定程度的蔑视——不管这正确与否。

international logistics英文教材全文共10篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hiya everyone! Today, let's talk about international logistics! Who knows what logistics means? Well, it's like a big puzzle that helps things get from one place to another. So when we talk about international logistics, we're talking about moving things between different countries.First off, we need to think about how things actually get to us from other countries. Have you ever seen a big ship in the ocean? Those are cargo ships, and they carry lots of stuff like toys, clothes, and food across the sea. Pretty cool, right?But it's not just ships that help with international logistics. We also have airplanes that fly things all over the world in no time at all! And let's not forget about trucks and trains that help move things from the ports and airports to our homes and stores.Now, when it comes to international logistics, there are lots of things to consider. We need to think about customs, which are rules and regulations that countries have about what can comein and out. We also need to think about tariffs, which are taxes on goods that are being imported or exported.And let's not forget about things like packaging and labeling. We need to make sure that everything is packed up safely so it doesn't get damaged during its journey. And we need to make sure that the right information is on the labels so people know what they're getting.So, next time you see something in the store that says "Made in China" or "Made in Italy," remember all the work that went into getting it there. International logistics is like a big team effort to make sure we can all enjoy things from all over the world. Pretty impressive, right?篇2Title: Fun and Easy Guide to International LogisticsHi friends! Today we are going to talk about something super cool called international logistics. Sounds fancy, right? But don't worry, it's actually really fun and interesting once you get to know more about it.So, what is international logistics? Well, it's like a huge puzzle where we need to figure out how to move things fromone place to another, but not just any place – we are talking about moving stuff between different countries!Imagine you have a toy that you want to send to your friend who lives in another country. How do you make sure the toy gets there safely and on time? That's where logistics comes in! We need to plan the best route for the toy to travel, make sure it's packed properly, and arrange for transportation – whether it's by ship, plane, truck, or even a combination of different methods.But wait, there's more! International logistics also involves things like customs clearance, where we have to make sure the toy (or any other item) meets all the rules and regulations of the destination country. We also need to track the toy's journey and make sure it reaches your friend's doorstep without any hiccups.So, next time you see a package being delivered to your house from a faraway land, remember that it's all thanks to international logistics! It's like a big adventure where things are constantly moving and people are working together to make sure everything arrives safely and on time.Hope you had fun learning about international logistics with me today.

Like, maybe toys from China need to go to America or cars from Germany need to go to Japan. It's like a big puzzle figuring out how to get everything where it needs to go!First, there's planning. You have to figure out what needs to be moved, when it needs to get there, and how it's gonna get there. Maybe by boat, plane, truck, or train! Then you have to make sure everything is packed up nice and safe so it doesn't break on the way.Next, there's transportation. This is when the things actually start moving! Big ships take things across the oceans, planes fly stuff through the sky, trucks drive on the roads, and trains chug along on the tracks. It's like a big adventure for all the things to get to their new homes!After that, there's tracking. This is like keeping an eye on where all the things are. With technology, we can see exactly where a package is at any time. It's like magic! We can make sure everything is going smoothly and on time.Finally, there's delivery. This is when the things arrive at their new homes. It's like a big celebration when everything gets there safe and sound!

It takes teamwork, planning, and lots of care to make sure everything gets to where it needs to go. It's a super interesting and important part of how the world works! Let's keep exploring and learning more about the amazing world of international logistics!篇4Title: Let's Learn About International Logistics!Hey there, kids! Today, we are going to learn all about international logistics. Wow, that sounds like a big word, doesn't it? But don't worry, we'll break it down and make it easy to understand.So, what is international logistics? Well, it's all about how things get from one place to another all around the world. You see, when we buy toys or clothes that were made in another country, they have to travel a long way to get to us. That's where international logistics comes in!First, let's talk about transportation. There are many ways things can travel internationally. They can go by ship, by airplane, by train, or by truck. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, ships can carry a lot of stuff, but they are slower than airplanes. Airplanes are fast, but they can't carry as much as ships. Pretty cool, right?Next, we have to think about storage. When things arrive in a new country, they need a place to stay until they are ready to be delivered. That's where warehouses come in. Warehouses are like giant storage rooms where all the things are kept safe and organized until they are needed. It's like a huge game of Tetris, making sure everything fits just right!Finally, we have to consider customs. Customs are like the gatekeepers of a country. They check all the things that come in to make sure they are safe and legal. Sometimes things can get held up at customs, which can cause delays in the shipping process. But it's all for our safety, so we don't mind waiting a little bit longer.And there you have it, kids! International logistics isn't so scary after all. It's like a big puzzle, with lots of pieces that need to fit together just right. So the next time you see a package from another country, you'll know all the work that went into getting itto you. Cool, right? Now, who's ready to learn more about the world of international logistics?篇5International logistics is like a big game of shipping and receiving stuff all around the world. It's super important because it helps make sure that things get from one place to another in a safe and timely manner.First off, let's talk about what international logistics actually means. Basically, it's the process of planning, coordinating, and managing the movement of goods and materials across borders. This includes things like transportation, warehousing, and customs clearance.One important thing to know about international logistics is that it involves a lot of different players. There are shipping companies, trucking companies, airlines, and freight forwarders, just to name a few. All of these players work together to make sure that goods get to where they need to go.Another important aspect of international logistics is documentation. When goods are being shipped from one country to another, there are a ton of forms and paperwork thatneeds to be filled out. This includes things like bills of lading, customs declarations, and import/export licenses.One of the biggest challenges in international logistics is dealing with different rules and regulations in different countries. Each country has its own set of laws and requirements when it comes to importing and exporting goods. This can make things really complicated, but that's where logistics experts come in to help navigate all the red tape.Overall, international logistics is all about making sure that goods can move freely around the world. It's a complex and dynamic field, but it's also super interesting and important. So next time you order something online and it shows up at your door, remember that it's all thanks to international logistics!篇6Title: Let's Learn About International Logistics!Hey there, friends!

When things cross borders from one country to another, they have to go through customs. This is where they check to make sure everything is allowed to enter the country. It's like a big inspection to keep everyone safe.And finally, let's talk about delivery. Once things have passed through customs, they are on their way to their final destination.

Today we're going to talk about something super cool - International Logistics! Sounds fancy, right? But don't worry, I'll break it down in an easy and fun way for you to understand.So, what is International Logistics? It's basically how stuff gets from one place to another place in different countries. Like, how do the toys you love so much in China end up in your local toy store? That's all thanks to International Logistics!First, let's talk about transportation. There are different ways to move things around the world - like ships, planes, trucks, and trains. Ships are used to carry really big and heavy stuff across oceans. Planes are super fast and are used for urgent deliveries. Trucks are great for moving things over short distances, and trains are perfect for moving stuff across land.Next, let's talk about warehouses. These are giant buildings where goods are stored before they are sent somewhere else. Imagine a huge room filled with shelves of toys, clothes, and gadgets waiting to be shipped out to different countries.Then, there's customs. This is like a security check for goods entering or leaving a country. Customs make sure everything is allowed to go in and out, and they check for things like taxes or illegal items.Finally, we have tracking. This is how we keep an eye on where our goods are at all times. With tracking, we can see if a package is stuck in traffic or delayed because of bad weather.International Logistics is so important because it helps businesses sell their products all over the world. It's like a big puzzle where everything needs to fit perfectly to make sure goods get to their destination safely and on time.I hope you guys learned something new about International Logistics today.

Keep exploring and learning, and who knows, maybe one day you'll be a logistics wizard too!篇9International logistics is like a big game of moving stuff all around the world. It's all about getting things from one place to another, like toys from China to America, or bananas from South America to Europe. It's super important because without it, we wouldn't have all the cool things we do.First, let's talk about the different ways things can move in international logistics. There are planes, ships, trains, and trucks. Each one has its own pros and cons. Airplanes are super fast but can be expensive. Ships can carry a lot of stuff but they're slow. Trains are good for moving things long distances on land. And trucks are great for getting things to your door.Next, let's talk about all the people involved in international logistics. There are the suppliers who make the stuff, the manufacturers who put it all together, the distributors who send it out to stores, and the customers who buy it. And let's notforget about all the people who work in transportation and customs to make sure everything gets where it needs to go safely and on time.There are also a lot of rules and regulations in international logistics. Each country has its own laws about what can come in and out, how things need to be packaged, and how much tax you have to pay. It can get pretty tricky, but that's why we have experts called logistics managers to help figure it all out.So, next time you see a toy that says "Made in China" or a snack that says "Imported from Italy," remember that international logistics made it all possible. It's like a big puzzle with lots of pieces, and it's pretty cool how it all comes together to make our world a more connected place.篇10Hello everyone! Today we are going to learn about international logistics. International logistics is all about how things get from one place to another around the world. Sounds exciting, right?First, let's talk about what logistics actually means. Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the movement of goods and services from one place to another. Ininternational logistics, the goods are moving between different countries, which can make things a bit more complicated.One important thing to remember in international logistics is customs. Customs are rules and regulations that each country has about the things that can come in and out of the country. This means that when you are sending something to another country, you have to make sure that it meets all the customs requirements.Another important part of international logistics is transportation. There are different ways to transport goods internationally, such as by plane, ship, train, or truck. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs.Now let's talk about some key terms in international logistics. Freight is the word we use for goods that are being transported. Freight forwarding is the company or person that helps to arrange the transportation of goods.

国际货运代理专业英语,2009年版课文翻译
第一单元国际贸易1.定义及重要性国际贸易是很重要的。
国际贸易是资金,物品和服务通过国际边境或边疆地区的交换。
在大多数国家,它代表国内生产总值的很大份额。
然而国际贸易历尽昔日蹉跎,它的经济,社会,政治的重要性在最近世纪已经上升。
工业化,先进的运输系统,全球化,跨国公司,外包在国际贸易组织中都有很重要的影响。
渐增的国际贸易成为全球化继续进行的决定性因素。
国际贸易是任何一个被认为是世界强国的国家(地区)的经济利益的主要来源。
没有国际贸易,国家将会把货物和服务的生产制造限制在自己的边界范围内。
2.国际贸易与国内贸易间的区别国际贸易通常是比国内贸易更昂贵的。
理由是通常越过国有的边界涉及附加成本例如关税,由于边界的时间的费用拖延,与国家区别相关花费例如语言,法律系统,或一种不同文化。
国际贸易与国内贸易间的另一个区别是生产要素,例如,资本和劳动力等生产要素跨越国界,在一个国家内通常移动的更多比国家与国家之间。
因此,国际贸易主要限制在货物和服务贸易。
然后,在商品和服务贸易,可以作为生产要素的替代品贸易。
进口生产要素,而不是一个国家的进口货物,使生产要素的集约利用,从而体现了各自的因素。
一个例子是由美国从中国进口劳动密集型商品。
进口中国的劳动力,而不是美国从中国进口商品与中国劳动生产。
3.国际贸易风险在多边贸易中有一些风险。
他们主要包括经济风险和政治危机。
经济风险包括买主的破产的风险;支付数量的应得物的买主的故障的风险中在到期日后六月;出口的非更新的风险批准;战争冒险;征用或进口商的公司的没收的风险;一个进口禁令的强迫接受的风险在货物的发货之后;在一个进口商的公司上的政党的转移风险强迫接受。
4.世界贸易组织世界贸易组织最好地被描述为一个伞式组织正在来自多边贸易谈判的乌拉圭回合的协议哪个被收集。
世界贸易组织因此服务四基本功能:(1) 实施,管理,执行世界贸易组织协议和其附件,(2) 为正在进行多边贸易谈判按照一个论坛行事,(3) 为了解决争议担任一个仲裁法庭,(4) 查看贸易政策和成员的练习陈述。

物流外文文献翻译
外文文献原稿和译文原稿Logistics from the English word "logistics", the original intent of the military logistics support, in the second side after World War II has been widely used in the economic field. Logistics Management Association of the United States is defined as the logistics, "Logistics is to meet the needs of consumers of raw materials, intermediate products, final products and related information to the consumer from the beginning to the effective flow and storage, implementation and control of the process of . "Logistics consists of four key components: the real flow, real storage, and management to coordinate the flow of information. The primary function of logistics is to create time and space effectiveness of the effectiveness of the main ways to overcome the space through the storage distance.Third-party logistics in the logistics channel services provided by brokers, middlemen in the form of the contract within a certain period of time required to provide logistics services in whole or in part. Is a third-party logistics companies for the external customer management, control and operation of the provision of logistics services company.According to statistics, currently used in Europe the proportion of third-party logistics services for 76 percent, the United States is about 58%, and the demand is still growing; 24 percent in Europe and the United States 33% of non-third-party logistics service users are actively considering the use of third-party logistics services. As a third-party logistics to improve the speed of material flow, warehousing costs and financial savings in the cost effective means of passers-by, has become increasingly attracted great attention.First, the advantages of using a third-party logisticsThe use of third-party logistics enterprises can yield many benefits, mainly reflected in:1, focus on core businessManufacturers can use a third-party logistics companies to achieve optimal distribution of resources, limited human and financial resources to concentrate on their core energy, to focus on the development of basic skills, develop new products in the world competition, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.2, cost-savingProfessional use of third-party logistics providers, the professional advantages of mass production and cost advantages, by providing the link capacity utilization to achieve cost savings, so that enterprises can benefit from the separation of the cost structure. Manufacturing enterprises with the expansion of marketing services to participate in any degree of depth, would give rise to a substantial increase in costs, only the use of professional services provided by public services, in order to minimize additional losses. University of Tennessee in accordance with the United States, United Kingdom and the United States EXEL company EMST & YOUNG consulting firm co-organized a survey: a lot of cargo that enable them to use third-party logistics logistics costs declined by an average of 1.18 percent, the average flow of goods from 7.1 days to 3.9 days, stock 8.2% lower.3, reduction of inventoryThird-party logistics service providers with well-planned logistics and timely delivery means, to minimize inventory, improve cash flow of the enterprise to achieve cost advantages.4, enhance the corporate imageThird-party logistics service providers and customers is a strategic partnership, the use of third-party logistics provider of comprehensive facilities and trained staff on the whole supply chain to achieve completecontrol, reducing the complexity of logistics, through their own networks to help improve customer service, not only to establish their own brand image, but also customers in the competition.Second, The purpose of the implementation of logistics management The purpose of the implementation of logistics management is to the lowest possible total cost of conditions to achieve the established level of customer service, or service advantages and seek cost advantages of a dynamic equilibrium, and thus create competitive enterprises in the strategic advantage. According to this goal, logistics management to solve the basic problem, simply put, is to the right products to fit the number and the right price at the right time and suitable sites available to customers.Logistics management systems that use methods to solve the problem. Modern Logistics normally be considered by the transport, storage, packaging, handling, processing in circulation, distribution and information constitute part of all. All have their own part of the original functions, interests and concepts. System approach is the use of modern management methods and modern technology so that all aspects of information sharing in general, all the links as an integrated system for organization and management, so that the system can be as low as possible under the conditions of the total cost, provided there Competitive advantage of customer service. Systems approach that the system is not the effectiveness of their various local links-effective simple sum. System means that, there's a certain aspects of the problem and want to all of the factors affecting the analysis and evaluation. From this idea of the logistics system is not simply the pursuit of their own in various areas of the lowest cost, because the logistics of the link between the benefits of mutual influence, the tendency of mutual constraints, there is the turn of the relationship between vulnerability. For example, too much emphasis on packaging materials savings, it could cause damage because of their easy to transport and handling costs increased. Therefore, the systems approach stresses the need to carry out the total cost analysis, and to avoid the secondbest effect and weigh the cost of the analysis, so as to achieve the lowest cost, while meeting the established level of customer se rvice purposes. Third, China's enterprises in the use of third-party logistics problems inWhile third-party logistics company has many advantages, but not many enterprises will be more outsourcing of the logistics business, the reasons boil down to:1, resistance to changeMany companies do not want the way through the logistics outsourcing efforts to change the current mode. In particular, some state-owned enterprises, we reflow will also mean that the dismissal of outsourcing a large number of employees, which the managers of state-owned enterprises would mean a very great risk.2, lack of awarenessFor third-party logistics enterprise's generally low level of awareness, lack of awareness of enterprise supply chain management in the enterprise of the great role in the competition.3, fear of losing controlAs a result of the implementation of supply chain companies in enhancing the competitiveness of the important role that many companies would rather have a small but complete logistics department and they do not prefer these functions will be handed over to others, the main reasons it is worried that if they lose the internal logistics capabilities, customers will be exchanges and over-reliance on other third-party logistics companies.4, the logistics outsourcing has its own complexitySupply chain logistics business and companies are usually other services, such as finance, marketing or production of integrated logistics outsourcing itself with complexity. On a number of practical business, including the integration of transport and storage may lead to organizational, administrative and implementation problems. In addition, the company'sinternal information system integration features, making the logistics business to a third party logistics companies have become very difficult to operate.5, to measure the effect of logistics outsourcing by many factors Accurately measure the cost of information technology, logistics and human resources more difficult. It is difficult to determine the logistics outsourcing companies in the end be able to bring the cost of how many potential good things. In addition, all the uniqueness of the company's business and corporate supply chain operational capability, is usually not considered to be internal to the external public information, it is difficult to accurately compare the inter-company supply chain operational capability.Although some manufacturers have been aware of the use of third-party logistics companies can bring a lot of good things, but in practical applications are often divided into several steps, at the same time choose a number of logistics service providers as partners in order to avoid the business by a logistics service providers brought about by dependence. Fourth, China's third-party logistics companies in the development of the problems encounteredA successful logistics company, the operator must have a larger scale, the establishment of effective regional coverage area, with a strong command and control center with the high standard of integrated technical, financial resources and business strategy.China's third-party logistics companies in the development of the problems encountered can be summarized as follows:1, operating modelAt present, most of the world's largest logistics companies take the head office and branch system, centralized headquarters-style logistics operation to take to the implementation of vertical business management. The establishment of a modern logistics enterprise must have a strong, flexible command and control center to control the entire logistics operations andcoordination. Real must be a modern logistics center, a profit center, business organizations, the framework, the institutional form of every match with a center. China's logistics enterprises in the operating mode of the problems of foreign logistics enterprises in the management model should be from the domestic logistics enterprises.2, the lack of storage or transport capacityThe primary function of logistics is to create time and space utility theft. For now China's third-party logistics enterprises, some companies focus on storage, lack of transport capacity; other companies is a lot of transport vehicles and warehouses throughout the country little by renting warehouses to complete the community's commitment to customers. 3, network problems There are a few large companies have the logistics of the entire vehicle cargo storage network or networks, but the network coverage area is not perfect. Customers in the choice of logistics partner, are very concerned about network coverage and network of regional branches of the density problem. The building of the network should be of great importance to logistics enterprises.4, information technologyThe world's largest logistics enterprises have "three-class network", that is, orders for information flow, resources, global supply chain network, the global Resource Network users and computer information network. With the management of advanced computer technology, these customers are also the logistics of the production of high value-added products business, the domestic logistics enterprises must increase investment in information systems can change their market position.Concentration and integration is the third-party logistics trends in the development of enterprises. The reasons are: firstly, the company intends to major aspects of supply chain outsourcing to the lowest possible number of several logistics companies; the second, the establishment of an efficient global third party logistics inputs required for increasing the capital; the third Many third-party logistics providers through mergers and jointapproaches to expand its service capabilities.译文物流已广泛应用于经济领域中的英文单词“物流”,军事后勤保障的原意,在二战结束后的第二面。

• With a poorly developed transportation system the extent of the market is limited to the area. • With the advent of inexpensive and readily available transportation services, the structure of the economy changes toward that of developed nations
• The logistics manager must consider a number of trade-offs when selecting a mode of transportation: • Cost versus speed • Packaging expense versus risk • Flexibility versus dependability.
Product Storage
• transport vehicles can also be used for product storage at shipment origin or destination, but they are comparatively expensive storage facilities. • A trade- off exists between using a transportation vehicle versus temporarily placing products in a warehouse. • If the inventory involved is scheduled to move within a few days to a different location, the cost of unloading, warehousing, and relating the product may exceed the temporary charge of using the transportation vehicle for storage.
Product movement
• The primary transportation value proposition is product movement up and down the supply chain. • The performance of transportation is vital to procurement , manufacturing, and market distribution. • Transportation also plays a key role in the performance of reverse logistics. • Without reliable transportation, most commercial activity could not function.
Pipelines
• Pipeline are primarily used to move petroleum, natural gas, and chemicals. • For suitable commodities, Pipelines are the most efficient mode of transport. • They offer a closed system with little risk of loss or damage to the products moved, and extremely low costs because minimal labor is involved in their operation. • However, they only offer one- way service, although product can move 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
Rail transportation
• Railroads offer the logistics manager costeffective, energy- efficient transport of large quantities of goods over long distances. • The railroad is basically a long hauler and slow mover of raw materials and of lowvalue/high-volume cargo like coal • Railroads also move a large number of containers in intermodal movement.
• The high- quality transportation can encourage both direct competition and indirect competition. • The high- quality transportation offers economies of scale • The high- quality transportation contribute to reduced product prices.

Importance of an effective transportation system
• Transportation is a vital component in the design and management of logistics systems. It may account for one-third to two-thirds of total logistics costs.
• The railroad service exists in two legal forms: • Common carrier: • Privately owned
Road transportation
• In contrast with rail, trucking is a transportation service of semi-finished and finished products. • More than half of the shipments by truck are ss-than-truckload (TLT) volume. • The inherent advantages of trucking are its door-todoor service such that no loading or unloading is required between origin and destination,as is often true of rail and air modes; its frequency and availability of service , and its door –to door speed and convenience.
Functions of Transportation
• Transportation enterprises provide two major services: • Product movement • Product storage.
