The overall efficiency of intermodal transport is closely related to the productivity of intermodal terminals. However, the existing intermodal infrastructures and management tools cannot cope with the expected growth in freight transport in the short and medium term. One way to cope with the increasing demand and make the intermodal option a competitive alternative to road transport, is to implement new cost-effective ways of managing freight traffic flows based on the enhancement of terminal management and the integration of the existing telematics systems.
