COMPARISON OF OPERATIONAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF DIRECT ROAD TRANSPORT AND CONTINENTAL COMBINED TRANSPORT

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to compare economic and operational aspects in the transition from direct road transport to unaccompanied CT using intermodal road semitrailers. For the purposes of this comparison, data from actual transport orders were used on a route starting in the Czech Republic, going through the industrial Northwest of Germany and then to Belgium and the Netherlands.
