      <title>A Promising Co-operation Between Railways and Airlines</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/876829</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article proposes improvements to how the international supply chain receives high quality express freight services, which are currently provided by airfreight. The author notes that within the transport sector, airfreight, as the primary method for providing express freight services, shows both the highest growth rate (at over 10%) and 30% of total transport value. Within Europe, this growth rate is manifested in the various industries that support manufacturing operations by shipping spare parts within narrow time windows. To meet tight delivery deadlines, express freight services often use a Road Feeder Service method as part of an intermodal process involving both aircraft and trucks. An overnight shipment travels by air to a location where a truck then picks it up and carries it for a short distance (up to 250 km) in order to make next day delivery. The author notes, however, that the Road Feeder Service method often experiences operational constraints related to the airfreight portion (e.g., slot capacity, aircraft payload, airport serviceability due to weather) that cause logistical problems within the supply chain. These constraints are further compounded when restrictions are placed on overnight airfreight. The author proposes using high speed rail as a solution, observing that the express freight services market needs a high quality alternative to the present airfreight distribution system. Besides cost benefits, high speed rail would offer environmental benefits by reducing emissions (both carbon dioxide and noise) and fuel consumption. A discussion of an intermodal solution involving a combined high speed rail / airfreight distribution system, proposed by the European Intermodal Association (EIA), is also included. This discussion centers on the needs and expectations of all stakeholders (railroads, airports, airlines, freight integrators) in developing a sustainable and efficient supply chain based on inter-cooperation.]]></description>
