INVESTIGATING THE MARKET FOR INTER-MODAL FREIGHT TECHNOLOGIES. IN: TRANSPORT LOGISTICS

One of the main objectives of this paper is to assess the application of new intermodal freight technology that is under development for use in the U.K. 50 firms participated in the survey, the aim of which was to estimate the value manufacturers place on quality of service attributes in the transport of their goods. In addition to the quantitative results gained from the use of computer gaming techniques, qualitative information was collected regarding both the individual firms and the sector of industry of which they form a part. The results indicate that the current scope of intermodal services within Great Britain is quite limited. When the Channel Tunnel is opened, however, the picture is expected to change.
