Methodology for Determining Dry Port System Transport Network - Case Study Port of Rijeka - Zagreb

Abstract

One of the key elements for the efficient operation of intermodal terminals of a transport network with a certain number of ports is a high-quality dry ports system in their hinterland. In order to determine their optimal number, their technical and technological characteristics and their associated logistics subsystem must be viewed complementary in terms of infrastructure and performance. The methodology that was established for this purpose was made on a number of case studies of which the most important one is related to Zagreb as a dry port of the Port of Rijeka. The proposed methodology was evaluated based on the pre-defined technical, technological and economic criteria. In elaborating the presented methodology all the relevant research on this topic, both in Croatia and in Europe, have been used.
