The organisation of an integrated chain for Combined Transport (CT) requires special information flow procedures for the different transport stages. At present, in the case of unimodal road haulage, distribution companies organise the information flow on their own account. In the case of CT operation procedures, however, logistic service providers expect CT operators to set up a seamless information chain. Of course, a wide variety of communication flows already exist between CT operators and their clients. Many of these communication activities adopt such modern technologies as computer-generated fax transmission, e-mail, and electronic data interchange.
