摘要
An overview is given of the EU transport policy in the area of freight and logistics. The current state and shortcomings of international intermodal transport are illustrated. Then, the concept of a "Virtual Warehouse System (VMS)" is proposed. assuming fast. frequent and predictable freight services by rail in shuttle trains along the European main corridors. and multifunctional terminals integrating warehousing functions. Within a VWS. rail freeways act as catalysts for an integration of warehousing and distribution into an intermodal logistics network.
