ABSTRACT

The market share of freight transport via railway is quite small, which is below 1% compared to the total volume. Nevertheless, the future potential is quite large, due to the volume growth and government targets in various policy documents. This paper aims to analyze the potential of freight transport via rail in Java. This paper uses a quantitative method with secondary data processing the origin to destination of national travel and service areas of each PT KAI Daop. Analysis results of freight transportation, the largest potential is Daop 1, followed by Daop 3 and 6. The lowest potential is Daop 7, followed by Daop 4 and 9. Daop 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 have higher manufacturing potential, while in Daop 2, 7 and 9 agricultures has a higher volume. If this potential can be transported, the proportion of freight transportation via railway in Java will increase from 0.16% to 0.54% of the total freight transportation.
