Use of horizontal transshipment technologies to improve multimodal cargo transportation

Abstract

Currently, the main direction of improving the technologies of freight transportation (especially long-distance, international and intercontinental) is the desire to reduce the costs of logistics services by optimizing supply chains. An effective solution that helps transport and logistics companies adapt their service offering to the needs of modern business is multimodal transportation using different types of transport, especially rail and road. Their combination optimizes supply chains in terms of time and is an effective alternative to long-distance unimodal road transportation.
