Multimodal Transport

Background: In a world where every municipality is pursuing the goals of more sustainable mobility, bicycles play a fundamental role in getting rid of private cars and travelling by an eco-friendly mode of transport. Additionally, private and shared bikes can be used as a feeder transit system, solving the problem of the first- and last-mile trips. Thanks to GIS (Geographic Information System) software, it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of such a sustainable means of transport in future users’ modal choice. Methods: Running an accessibility analysis of cycling and rail transport services, the potential mobility demand attracted by these services and the possible multimodality between bicycle and rail transport systems can be assessed. Moreover, thanks to a modal choice model calibrated for high school students, it could be verified if students will be really motivated to adopt this solution for their home-to-school trips. Results: The GIS-based analysis showed that almost half of the active population in the study area might potentially abandon the use of their private car in favour of a bike and its combination with public transport systems; furthermore, the percentage of the students of one high school of Palermo, the Einstein High School, sharply increases from 1.5% up to 10.1%, thanks also to the combination with the rail transport service. Conclusions: The GIS-based methodology shows that multimodal transport can be an effective way to pursue a more sustainable mobility in cities and efficiently connect suburbs with low-frequent public transport services to the main public transport nodes.

Multimodal Transport

Multimodal transport can bring the technical and economic advantages in different transportation modes into full play. While ensuring the level of service, it can reduce energy consumption and transport costs. Governments of most countries are actively promoting it. Therefore, it has become a research hot spot. Being a green, fast, and all-day transport mode, railways play an important role in multimodal transport. This article aims to analyze a multimodal transport service quality indicator system involving railways from the perspectives of customers, multimodal service providers, and governments. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were adopted to analyze the secondhand data of academic papers, government policy, and industry reports to clarify the quality characteristics of multimodal transport services. Using grounded theory and to analyze firsthand data from in-depth interviews with multimodal transport practitioners, 25 evaluation indicators of container multimodal transport service quality were chosen to be the evaluation index system. To test and improve the evaluation scale, 270 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 21.0 software, including reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. The results show that all the indicators meet the standard requirements and have good reliability and validity.

The role of multimodal transportation in the world market of transport services is defined in the article. Emphasis is placed on the significant pace of its development in a number of countries (first of all in the EU, the USA and China). It made it possible to minimize costs and increase interest to the countries in the international transportation system. It is established that development of multimodal (combined) transportation is considered to be promising in the growth of the transport system of Ukraine. International conventions and regulations of the world’s leading countries are analyzed. Typical features of multimodal transportation are singled out. Namely: implication of two or more modes of transport under one contract in the process of transportation; freight transportation under one document (through bill of lading); use of through tariff rate; presence of one of responsible parties – multimodal transport operator, that is responsible for freight from the moment of taking it under control up to the moment of its transfer to the consignee. Based on the study of the global trends in development of multimodal transportation, practices, which are of interest for further introduction in Ukraine, are defined. Namely: introduction of the effective transport policy in this field and creation of the regulatory base; development of multimodal transportation on the basis of the integrated approach, which provides for implementation of the relevant plans and programs; creation of multimodal transport system and new corridors; overcoming the infrastructural imbalance; construction of the modern multimodal logistic centers and their equipment; containerization of freight transportation; development of contrailer connections and expansion of the routes; improvement of services quality by introducing the latest innovative technologies for transportation process organization (use of electronic goods declaration; organization of digital transport corridors; electronic support of any chain of the freight delivery, use of the monitoring system for freight delivery control); implementation of the effective management system for risks arising in the process of multimodal transportation.

The purpose of this paper is to present a rigorous and critical review of an established cost/time-distance model. The model offers a perspective on the inter-relationships between transport modes, nodes, methods and cargo volumes, types and forms. Organisations can review their door to door supply chain costs by applying the model described in the paper. The reviewed multimodal transport cost model is based on a relatively simple framework but demonstrates that other existing models of modal choice, multimodal transport and inventory location all oversimplify the transport process. The critical components of the model are the transport from origin to destination, consignment loading/unloading, intermodal transfer and performance variability. Other activities such as storage, value addition and customs clearance can be added into the model as required. Several findings emerge from the development of the model and provide much greater clarity concerning the cost-structure of door-to-door multimodal transport services along economic corridors. The model is shown to be a useful tool for identifying theoretical alternative locations for facilities such as inland terminals. The relative unit costs of operating respective freight transport modes lead to a series of classic door-to-door cost profiles stemming from the modal mix, which varies according to shipment distance, volume, cargo value-density and other variables.

Despite the extensive transit network in Metro Manila, intermodal connections between public transportation services are still fragmented. In response, authorities proposed various multimodal transport terminals around the periphery of the metropolis. However, there is a need to understand how these proposed terminals will impact existing transportation infrastructure and services as well as the current travel demand. This paper proposes a method that quantifies the nearness of any subject to any metric of interest, or in this case, the location of the terminal based on its proximity to existing transit supply and demand at different points in the transport network. It involves a simple methodology that requires only the spatial distribution of relevant transport planning data (e.g., public transport services, public transport passenger activity). It was found that the spatial distribution of the transport terminals in the study area is more closely related to the transit supply. Using the same methodology, several potential locations in Metro Manila (e.g., central terminal, terminal along a major junction) were assessed to see whether these are viable sites for a multimodal terminal. One scenario configuration was found to be better integrated with where trips start and/or end, while another seemed to improve integration of the existing railways.

Multimodal transportation will not only increase the intensity of use of vehicles, but also reduce the passenger's travel time. The main task of organizing multimodal transportation is to maximally satisfy the demand of the population for transport services with the most efficient use of rolling stock. The problem of reducing the number of direct routes can b solved either by developing direct connections, or by switching to multimodal transportation with the condition of coordinating the time of transfer. The paper describes in detail the development of multimodal passengers transportation organization.

Abstract The main objective of organising multimodal transport is to meet the public’s demand for transport services as much as possible while making the most efficient use of rolling stock. In order to determine the efficiency of a transport system the paper proposes that it should be viewed as a collection of different local transport systems. The issue of organising multimodal transport is related to many aspects of passenger services and rail transport operations (forecasting passenger flows, developing combined train schedules, features of the TH (transfer hub) and station complexes, etc.). The article details the way multimodal passenger chains are represented in the form of graphical models. The goals of using the constructed graphs are defined: solving problems of visualisation and analysis of multimodal transport chains as well as solving the complex problem of optimising the scheduling and planning of vehicle stops at passenger transfer points. It has been shown that the main requirements for organising this type of passenger transport are to minimise the total travel time of vehicles in order to reduce management costs for operators and to maximise the number of passengers carried in order to better meet passenger demand.
