Objective
The main objective of IMPREND is the improvement of pre- and end-haulage at terminals, achieved by defining and testing a number of formulas on how to improve pre- and end-haulage. The project consists of four phases. In the first, the present situation with regard to pre- and end-haulage will be analysed. In the second, a number of formulas on how to improve pre- and end-haulage will be defined and discussed in meetings with (potential) users of Intermodal Transport. These formulas will be tested at a selected number of terminals. After identification of the most successful formulas, they will be made applicable for implementation at terminals throughout Europe.
The deliverables are the following:
1 a report with an overview of the intermodal structures (terminals, players, routes) in the corridors between the terminals involved; an overview of present methods of working with regard to pre- and end-haulage at the selected terminals; and a listing of the most important bottlenecks in pre- and end-haulage at the terminals studied as well as examples of solutions in Europe and the USA.
2 an overview of formulas for the improvement of pre- and end-haulage and of the outcomes of the various users meetings organised in participating terminal regions.
3 a report on the results of the demonstration projects.
4 the final report, including recommendations for transport companies, for terminal operators and for other organisations in the field of intermodal transport. It will also highlight implications for future government policy as well as recommendations for policy makers (both at a national and EU level).
Specific intermodal objectives:
IMPREND aims at enhancing the efficiency of terminals as an integral part in the intermodal transport chain.
