1. Development of Small-Scale Intermodal Freight Transportation in a Systems Context
Abstract : An intermodal freight transportation system is characterised by the subsequent use of different transportation modes for moving goods stowed into unit loads from the consignor to the consignee. Typically, it involves a wide variety of activities, actors and resources, which implies a certain degree of technological as well as organisational complexity. READ MORE

2. Modelling European Combined Transport as an Industrial System
Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is twofold: developing a method for analysis of the European combined transport industry as well as utilising the developed method to describe and analyse the industry. The second part of the purpose could also be stated as verifying the method, but the description and analysis is carried out somewhat more carefully than just for the purpose of verifying the method.

3. Evaluation and Modelling of Short Haul Intermodal Transport Systems
Abstract : Conventional intermodal rail freight transport systems have proved themselves competitive and able to offer cost-leadership on long distances and in endpoint relations between two nodes. Several studies within intermodal transports have made contributions in finding the minimum distance, the “break-even” distance that an intermodal door-to-door shipment can compete with unimodal road.
