The growing need for more efficient cargo and passenger transport systems and a healthier environment imply a shift of paradigm in mobility, transport, and logistics. Intermodal transport takes advantage of the strengths of different transport modes in one integrated transport chain, thereby improving the efficiency and economic performance of the system. Enhancement of both network sustainability and resilience is an important criterion for exploring trade-offs associated with intermodal freight and passenger transport. Scientific knowledge needs to be allied with further technical and economic studies to overcome barriers such as insufficient interconnectivity, lack of cooperation and competition between the modes, as well as the need for harmonized security and safety procedures.

This conference aims at bringing together talented researchers and industry practitioners from around the world to discuss and stimulate the exchange of ideas that can address problems in multimodal transport of passenger and freight and a special focus is put on maritime transport as currently worldwide there is a serious concern on how to address the disruption in the supply chain of goods with the increase of inequality.

Submission Guidelines

The congress encourages researchers and practitioners to submit their original contributions as:

• Full paper, (max 8 pages); peer-reviewed; accepted for presentation; published in the Congress proceedings; considered for journal publication. They can start submitting their abstract; however, on acceptance, the authors are required to submit the full paper by the camera-ready deadline.

Instructions, information, submission forms, and procedures are available on the MULTILOG 2024 website www.multilogs.eu. Each accepted contribution requires a paid registration.
