Short Description
The IMONODE project contributes to the development of efficient intermodal transport systems in South-Eastern Europe as regards sustainable development. More specifically the IMONODE project aimed at studying the options and recommending solutions and actions that would enhance the greater use of, and the accessibility to the trans-European Corridors V and X for freight transport with priority on rail transport. In this context IMONODE focused its work on:

• Assessing available infrastructure and services at major terminals of the project area,
• Identifying problems and bottlenecks in terminal operations along the intermodal transport chains in CADSES and along TEN Corridors,
• Proposing solutions for terminal operation enhancement and development,
• Prioritising the existing and selecting new nodal points with potential for further development in the future to achieve increased intermodality and seamless operation,
• Performing case studies for successful terminal development by checking alternative types of involvement of private and/or public sector, and specifying requirements in technology implementation and logistics service operations.
