Het intermodale transportsysteem vergeleken met het unimodale wegvervoer

The intermodal transport sector faces several bottlenecks, whicli often prevent it froin operating as an alternative to unirnodal road transport. In this paper, the bottlenecks preventing a further growth of the inarket share of the inland watenvaylroad transport are identified in terms of both financial and quality related paraineters.

The intermodal transport sector faces several bottlenecks, whicli often prevent it froin operating as an alternative to unirnodal road transport. In this paper, the bottlenecks preventing a further growth of the inarket share of the inland watenvaylroad transport are identified in terms of both financial and quality related paraineters. The price of interniodal inland watenvay transport as compared to road transport is analysed. A critica1 threshold distance is identified for the location of inland terminals. The bottlenecks related to poor intermodal quality are identified through a survey conducted with 45 sectorial experts. A number of policy measures that could eliininate these bottlenecks are identified.
