About

Intermodal transport is a research field and operational concept within logistics and transportation science that investigates the coordinated movement of goods using multiple modes of transport (e.g., rail, road, sea, air) where the cargo remains in the same loading unit (such as a container or swap body) throughout the entire journey. This approach focuses on optimizing system efficiency, reducing handling costs, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing the seamless integration of different transport networks.
