Driving forces Intermodal transport

• Fast accumulating congestion on Europes main
  motorways
• Traffic restrictions set by various European
  countries on international (cross border) road
  traffic, especially during the weekends
• (General) political and environmental concern
  over expansion European road transportation
• Liberalisation of the European railway market and
  the introduction of European Freight Freeways
• Security standards

Intermodal concept (1)

11
Intermodal concept (2)

• Combined road / rail transportation of cargo
  using rail shuttle services offers - fixed,
  predetermined configuration (block train) -
  fixed service schedules / routes
• - high volume capacity / high(er) frequency of
  service - adequate equipment availability (a.o.
  low chassis) - adequate customer information
• (Independent) shuttle operators provide for a
  range of flexible international shuttle services
  throughout Europe
• Dedicated operational team
• Combination with passenger train (Overnight
  Express) guarantees fast and secure transit time

Case example MKZ (FMD)...

• Due to an unexpected foot and mouth desease in
  severall countries in the EC, traffic information
  is more essential- daily issues about cross
  border- the road blocks- restrictions off
  areas
• A central traffic information database would be
  helpfull for transport

17
Better and in an early stage traffic information
leads to...

• Increase safety on rural and urban roads
• Reduce empty legs
• Higher reliability
• Quality improvement
• Efficiency in use resources and road/rail network
  capacity

18
Traffic Information linked to advanced
transportation management and fleet management
systems will enable optimalisation and efficiency.
Thank you for your attention.
