The System of Semi-Trailers Transportation by Railways and their Using in Logistics Chains

Abstract:

This paper is focused on systems which enables transportation of semi-trailers by rail. The selected systems are evaluated from the economical point of view. These systems which meets today's requirements, with simple technical solutions, suitable for existing infrastructures, free of constraints for users and requiring only limited investment. The main objective of this article consists of the operational costs calculating and their comparison. The selected systems are CargoBeamer, Modalohr, ISU and Megaswing.
