Thus, coal transportation is an important part of China's overall transportation system. In this system, ports are the vital transit nodes. This study considered coastal ports in China and analysed the evolution of coal transportation from 1973 to 2013. We focused on the spatial pattern of coal loading and unloading, and summarized the main characteristics and development of the processes. Then, we examined the volumes of coal transported and regional changes in these amounts using mathematical models and indicators. Finally, we analysed the specialized function and spatial differentiation of the ports involved in coal transportation to reveal their spatial relationship and temporal evolution. We found that the spatial pattern of coal transportation changed from "south input and north output" to "all input and north output". However, the prominent ports used for coal unloading are still concentrated in areas south of the Yangtze River. Coal loading is concentrated on the west bank of Bohai Bay. In addition, some ports around Bohai Bay, such as Dandong, Dalian, Yantai, and Qingdao, changed from traditional coal loading ports to unloading ports. This study further developed the theory of transport geography, and improved our understanding of China's coal transportation system.展开更多

With regard to the energy con- sumption and carbon emissions of transportation within an open-cut mine, this paper systematically compared the work and energy consumption of a truck and belt conveyor on a theoretical basis, and con- structed a model to calculate the energy consumption of open-cut mine transportation. Life cycle carbon emission factors and power consumption calculation model were established through a Process Analysis- Life Cycle Analysis （PA-LCA）. The following results were obtained： （1） the energy consumption of truck transportation was four to twelve times higher than that of the belt conveyor; （2） the C02 emissions from truck transportation were three to ten times higher than those of the belt conveyor; （3） with the increase in the slope angle for transportation, the ratio of truck to belt conveyor for both energy consumption and carbon emissions gradually decreased; （4） based on 2013 prices in China, the energy cost of transportation using a belt conveyor in open-cut coal mines could save 0.6-2.4 Yuan/（t kin） compared to truck transportation.展开更多

An effective optimiza- tion model is proposed to solve transportation and storage prob- lems for regional power coal allocation planning, which has inter- active effect on multiple participants, such as regional power plants, coal transportation companies, logistics centers, and coal storage centers. A case study illustrates that the model and algo- rithm are more reasonable compared with the classic transporta- tion model, and the sensitivity analysis improves transportation and storage strategies for regional power coal allocation planning. Results demonstrate that this model can not only satisfy more of the actual requirements of the integral system but also offer more information to the decision-makers （DMs） for reference in favor of exalting decision-making quality.展开更多

However, warehousing and transportation of CBM become one of the core factors that restrain its exploitation and utilization at present, due to the space-time character of natural deposit and modem utilization of CBM. In this paper, according to the character of CBM and the expanding trend of its utilization, the necessity of constructing the CBM＇s warehousing and transportation management system demonstrated. Index system that influence CBM＇s warehousing and transportation is established. And CBM＇s warehousing and transportation model is established by Voronoi diagram. In light of above research, CBM＇s warehousing and transportation management system based on Geography Information System （GIS） is designed, Using this system, CBM＇s warehousing and allocation center in one mining area is optimized. Research shows that to reinforce CBM＇s warehousing and transportation management is one of the key factors for coordinating the development of its development and utilization, thereby ensuring its sustainable development and utilization.展开更多
