Multi-Modal Transport Systems

Multi-Modal Transport Systems involve using different types of transportation modes—such as trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes—working together to move goods or people efficiently from one place to another. This coordinated approach optimizes each mode's strengths, reducing costs and transit times while minimizing environmental impact. For example, a cargo shipment might travel by truck to a rail terminal, then by train across the country, and finally by truck again to reach its final destination. Seamless integration, standardized infrastructure, and effective planning are essential to ensure smooth transitions between the different modes.
