While the operational realities of intermodal transport are
relatively well known, the institutional challenges are less well
understood. This book provides an overview of intermodal transport
and logistics including the policy background, emerging industry
trends and academic approaches. Establishing the three key features
of intermodal transport geography as intermodal terminals, inland
logistics and hinterland corridors, Jason Monios takes an
institutional approach to understanding the difficulties of
successful intermodal transport and logistics. Key areas of
investigation include the policy and planning background, the roles
of public and private stakeholders and the identification of
emerging strategy conflicts. Substantial empirical content situates
the theoretical and practical issues in real-world examples via
three detailed case study chapters (covering the USA, UK and
Europe), making the book useful to students as well as
practitioners desiring an understanding of how intermodal transport
and logistics work in practice. The identified challenges to
intermodal transport and logistics are used to demonstrate how
competing port and inland strategies can inhibit the necessary
processes of integration required to underpin successful intermodal
transport. The book concludes with a look at the future of
institutional adaptation that may enhance the capacity of freight
actors to engage with intermodal transport developments.
