Document Summary
Speed, capacity, mode of technology: operational. Speed limits , safety conditions, operating hours. Beneficial when transportation modes complement each other in terms of cost, speed, accessibility , frequency , safety , comfort etc . Intermodal transport systems connect global markets improve connectivity: different transport markets. Modes can give different levels of access to a city. E -g . rail transportation for freight and road transportation for passengers: different levels of service. Modes will offer different services based on market priorities. One mode will prioritize cost and one mode will prioritize time. " one reason to using one mode over the other includes distance travelled , shipment quantity and the value of the shipped product. Transportation costs road per unit l l i. Maritime most consistent in pricing across all distances. Road transportation offers cheapest cost function at shorter distances. Road cz = rail cs = maritime.
