Dynamic pricing analysis of railway freight transport under different carbon emission penalties

in order to better promote the transportation industry to reduce carbon emissions and improve the competitiveness of railway freight in the whole freight market, to achieve the “double carbon” strategy and promote the “transit rail”. In this paper, considering the dynamic pricing of freight volume and freight price, a two-layer programming model is established under the minimum social total cost of railway and road. The upper level considers the income of railway freight, and the lower level considers the total social cost of freight transportation, so as to realize the increase of railway freight revenue and the decrease of the general total expenditure paid by freight owners. Considering the transportation of bulk commodity freight from shandong to sichuan, it is concluded that the railway freight market has a good development prospect under the consideration of the total social expenditure such as carbon emission. Under the carbon emission charge, the appropriate increase of railway freight rate will not lead to the reduction of railway freight volume. As rail freight becomes more competitive under increasingly stringent carbon emissions penalties, the volume of rail freight will continue to rise even after appropriate increases in rail freight fees. At this point, rail freight companies can transport more goods and gain higher returns, slightly increasing the overall cost borne by shippers in a broad sense, and helping to reduce carbon emissions in the process of freight transport.
