Abstract
One of the major goals of the European transport policies is the modal shift from road to rail transportation. However, especially regarding the wagonload transport, this goal is jeopardised (hard to achieve). Due to a reduction in the number of private sidings and public loading points, the accessibility of the rail network is reasonably reduced. Thus, a new approach to counteract the reduction, especially for small and medium-sized transhipment sites is required. This paper develops a list of requirements for small and medium-sized transhipment sites based on shippers’ demand. Further, based on these requirements, standard types of transhipment sites are defined. Additionally, for one of the standard type, a reference layout is also developed.
