Current Challenges for Intermodal Freight Transport and Logistics in Europe and the United States

Abstract

The current issues and challenges related to the large-scale implementation of intermodal freight transportation systems in the United States and Europe are addressed, and open research issues and challenges are identified. As congestion and environmental impacts continue to worsen, intermodal transportation will continue to increase in importance. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a research agenda for an in-depth study of intermodal freight and logistics issues in the European Union and the United States.
