摘要: Abstract In this paper a model is developed to analyse and compare the transport costs of intermodal inland waterway road-only-transport. The influence economies scale in terminal operations are taken into account analysis. defined related different conditions (e.g. share empty kilometres, capacity usage terminals, etc.) order sensitivity cost performance transport. By doing it possible what extent freight competitive with road-only terms specific (both shipping terminal). conclusions prove that roundtrips, drop & pick pre- end-haulage smaller containers (20 ft instead 40 ft) considerably improve competitiveness transport, while relative high small terminals reduce
