Abstract

In this contribution a unified definition of a multimodal Level of Service for Cargo Transportation is proposed. By the use of novel Network Analysis (NA) methods a complex system of dependencies and interactions for four transport modes is generated for the purpose of cargo transportation. Based on the Level of Service (LoS)definition for passenger transportation and existing transport-mode specific LoS definitions a variety of further causal effects on transport quality have been identified, which are being defined by qualitative and quantitative indicators. With the creation of a multimodal semantic map the basis for highly sophisticated decision support in examining possible influences on transport quality and 2 negotiating service contracts for high priority Supply Chains (SC) is given.
