The total container throughput of each port is the sum of cargo operated at the port among the cargo from between a hinterland and a foreland. Although the total throughput of each port is influenced by various factors, this study considers the factors as a representative factor like a port popularity and suggests two factors ; a hinterland effect and a foreland effect influencing on the port's traffic. In the study, the foreland effect is explained by a oversea distance between a port and a foreland, and the hinterland effect is explained by a inland transportation cost between a port and a hinterland. The influence of the two effects on the port traffic is analyzed by a multilayer perceptron model. In the result, we find that the cargo flow between a hinterland and a foreland is splitted to each port by the foreland effect and the hinterland effect. The findings will make it possible to forecast the port traffic by more detailed research.
