20 What is an intermodal bottleneck? An intermodal bottleneck is an actual or perceived negative characteristic of an intermodal door-to-door transport chain that makes intermodal transport less attractive than unimodal transport.

21 Where are intermodal bottlenecks located? Terminal 1 Border crossing Intermodal Terminal 2 Border crossing Origin Terminal Unimodal Destination Terminal

40 Conclusions 1. A well developed infrastructure is one of the main prerequisites for the quality of a business location. This is the highest priority in the European Transport policy 2. A transport corridor, which is on the highest standard of technical knowledge influences the whole prosperity of a region and provides an increase of the GDP. 3. The Danube Corridor under the rules of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region is the baqckbone of a business prosperiy and social cohesion in the whole region.

41 What are the expectations of the inland navigation sector towards the EU strategy for the Danube region? River Information Services (RIS): what are the additional benefits in Climate change: is inland navigation the only possibility to create sustainable transport? Climate change: is inland navigation the only possibility to create sustainable transport?
