Objective
The central objective is to identify promising innovative directions for bundling networks, new generation terminals and terminal nodes for combined unimodal and intermodal transport in Europe. The main aspect of innovation in this field is the automation and robotisation of processes providing better price-quality ratios for transshipment, other node activities, and link-internal transport modalities other than conventional road transport. The general expectation is that these changes will make new bundling concepts (with more bundling, or with frequently transported smaller freight volumes) feasible. This will allow more complex and flexible bundling concepts.
A major aspect of the project objective is the integrated approach: its identification activities always focus on combinations of bundling networks and new-generation terminals. This identification includes feasibility studies. Development and implementation paths will be discussed, and public and private measures to support and encourage new-generation operations will be formulated.At its culmination, it should be possible to recommend certain terminal and terminal-node concepts for certain type of nodes in certain bundling concepts, or alternatively to specify bundling networks with node types and locations suited to certain terminal concepts, and to delineate the contours or a feasible development and implementation strategy. Identification conclusions will detail probable, promising and missing regions or transport corridors and the freight markets involved. The conclusions will be of special interest for actors in the field (such as transport operators or producers of transport equipment and infrastructure) in the medium and long term.
