Characteristics of multimodal transport regarding economic factors
Multimodal transport refers to the use of two or more carriers of different options during the carriage of cargo. The basic reasons for their usage are the characteristics of each transport option, as well as the costs. Multimodal transport implementation allows connecting of the point of origin and the point of destination in an optimal way. Therefore, the use and popularity of multimodal transport have greatly increased and the costs have marked substantial fall in relation to other transport branches, significantly shortening the transport duration itself. The goal of multimodal transport is to maximize the efficiency in connecting the economic elements of various traffic branches, i.e. their operations related to transport and communications, thus positively reducing the inventories of raw materials, semi-products and end products with the aim of increasing the balance in the overall economic system of a country. The existence of an efficient market economy is inevitably accompanied by a developed traffic system. The development of multimodal transport and good organization of the traffic system make it possible to increase the existing and to generate new cargo flows that would result in positive effects on the import-export balance.
