INTERMODAL CONCEPTION IN FUNCTION OF RENEWAL AND DEVELOPMENT OF RAILWAY SYSTEM

The intermodal transport chain deserves to be taken more seriously. As far as we can tell, after all, it is the only solution to the growing problem of transport infrastructure congestion. Because of the fact that road traffic threatens to come to a grinding halt, clearly other transport modes - especially railways, inland waterways and ocean shipping - will have to play a greater role if we are to avoid the chaos that looms ahead. To cope with the extra traffic prompted by economic growth, the different modes need to combine their services to create a sustainable and efficient transport system.
