Design of integrated and co-ordinated multimodal transport systems – North Sea – Mediterranean corridor

The paper discusses the North Sea – Mediterranean corridor, part of the Trans-European transport network. A brief discussion on the aspects of multimodality and the possible modes of transport involved in transporting inland freight is presented followed by an introduction to main IT systems that ca...
