Intermodality has become a major component of the systems approach to business, which is an integral part of what is commonly called “logistics management”. Another benefit of intermodality has been the cooperation between government and private enterprise in reducing unnecessary documentation, enabling goods in transit to keep pace with demand, enabling an efficient and cost-effective use of the transport system through unbroken chain and customer oriented door-to-door services. The economic basis for intermodal transport is to display favourable economic and operational characteristics individually, can be integrated in a door-to-door transport chain in order to improve the overall efficiency of the transport system.
