Abstract
The article deals with the problem of intermodal terminal designing for selected intermodal transport systems, determined by the type of intermodal transport unit. The purpose of the article is to present a comprehensive methodology for designing intermodal terminals, enabling the assessment of developed design solutions. Specificity of intermodal terminals due to the tasks carried out and their role in the integration of various modes of transport in freight transport was presented. In the following, the general principles and methodology of intermodal terminal design were characterized. Based on that, the conceptual project of the terminal was presented as a case study.
Highlights
The economic development of European Union (EU) countries determines the development of transport, which affects the improvement of economic systems and creates the possibility of moving from solutions based on the use of resources located near their production and consumption to solutions based to the greatest extent on specialization, i.e. the progressing international division of labor [15]
Designing intermodal terminals is a multi-stage process that takes into account a number of technical and technological requirements resulting from normative documents
The layout of the terminal and a technical equipment of the terminal is determined by the specificity of the intermodal transport units (ITU) and the technological processes
Summary
The economic development of European Union (EU) countries determines the development of transport, which affects the improvement of economic systems and creates the possibility of moving from solutions based on the use of resources located near their production and consumption to solutions based to the greatest extent on specialization, i.e. the progressing international division of labor [15].In this aspect, cargo shipments are more and more technologically advanced, so that supply networks are becoming more and more complex, covering more and more regions.In supply networks, transport plays a crucial role in ensuring the most efficient and effective flow of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products from the places of their shipment - sending them to the places of their collection - destination. The economic development of European Union (EU) countries determines the development of transport, which affects the improvement of economic systems and creates the possibility of moving from solutions based on the use of resources located near their production and consumption to solutions based to the greatest extent on specialization, i.e. the progressing international division of labor [15]. In this aspect, cargo shipments are more and more technologically advanced, so that supply networks are becoming more and more complex, covering more and more regions. This approach requires the efficient use of various forms of transport capacity of, and the search for alternative, environmentally friendly drive sources [5]
