Identifying the derived utility function of transport services: case study of rail and sea container transport
The paper defines derived utility function of rail and sea container transport. Container transport refers to the transportation of goods in standardized re-sealable transportation boxes by rail and sea. The utility theory is mostly connected with the consumer and consumption theory. When thinking of transport services, demand (consumer) and suppliers influence the decision making process of transport. For this reason, authors have decided to derive the utility function of these transport services. Three key factors are identified: environmental efficiency, time and transportation capacity.
