Abstract
The growth of freight transport in Europe seems to be connected to the increase of the GDP. The uppermost of the freight growth is covered by road transport. Therefore the European Commission started some initiatives to promote intermodal or co-modal freight transport and related supporting mechanisms to either optimize or to shift road freight to other modes. A focal point is the implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems. But the market actors have heterogeneous requirements regarding the exchange and provisions of information. The chapter describes first approaches of intermodal transport chain development tools and gives an outlook about the necessary next steps.
