Abstract


The present study is aimed at exploring and analyzing the possibilities of optimizing freight transport and developing intermodal connections for a specific railway infrastructure.
A model has been proposed to identify the railway infrastructure potential in regions for their development through the establishment of intermodal terminals. The model enables comparability of the results obtained for the different options.
The expected outcomes are aimed at improving the planning, development and interaction of transport systems to achieve better connectivity between railway transport and other modes of transport.
