Strategies to Develop the Use of 4R Intermodality as a Combination of Rail Motorways and Motorways of the Sea

This paper introduces the concept of R4 (road-rail-ro-ro), a increasingly used in transport and logistics research circles that defines modern chain as it passes through intermodal use rail, road, ship via ro-ro. The integration new rail-road freight services into reference supply model allows us to define for design scenario on which evaluation is now focused terms service-mode demand shares network flows performance indicators carried out by demand-supply interaction models applied all available service-modes. strength-weaknesses-opportunities-threats analysis (SWOT) identification some strategies enhance improve current rail maritime corridors order attract more customers using different services, ultimately triggering involvement actors generating bigger better integrated logistic chains intermodality. SWOT series measures adapt, maintain, or exploit aspects arising from expert analysis.
