Inter-/Multimodality
Intermodality and multimodality describe advanced transport concepts in which goods are moved using various modes of transport such as rail, road, and inland waterways.
What is Inter-/Multimodality Research?
Intermodality is characterized by the transfer of the loading unit (e.g., container, swap body) without handling the actual goods. Multimodality involves using different transport modes under a single transport contract. We develop solutions that enable efficient transshipment, seamless network integration, and the selection of the optimal transport mode mix while considering cost, time, and environmental factors.
