Investigation of solutions for interoperability between intermodal transport terminals
Abstract
The poorly developed network and the low level of interconnection between sea and land terminals along the North-South and East-West corridors in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) have a negative impact and are a major obstacle to the international competitiveness of these corridors. In order to respond to this challenge, three new high-tech intermodal transport centers have been formed in Lithuania along the trans-European (TEN-T). These centers are designated to respond flexibly to the needs of local and international markets, taking advantage of intermodal transport. The main aim of the article is to explore the attitudes and interests of intermodal transport terminal managers, and other decision makers and experts to use the East-West and North-South international corridors as well as their intentions to develop interoperability between terminals. Based on the research, an innovative model of synchronization transport flows between major intermodal terminals have been proposed.

Įvairiarūšio transporto terminalų tarpusavio veiklos sprendimų tyrimas
Santrauka
Silpnai išplėtotas tinklas ir žemas jūros ir sausumos terminalų tarpusavio sąveikos lygis išilgai Baltijos jūros regiono (BJR) Šiaurės–Pietų ir Rytų–Vakarų transporto koridorių yra didelis kliuvinys siekiant didinti tarptautinį šių transporto koridorių konkurencingumą. Siekiant atsiliepti į šį iššūkį Lietuvoje transeuropinių (TEN-T) Šiaurės–Pietų ir Rytų–Vakarų koridorių kryptimis, yra suformuoti nauji modernių technologijų įvairiarūšio transporto centrai. Šių centrų paskirtis – lankstus reagavimas į vietos ir tarptautinių rinkų poreikius, naudojant įvairiarūšio transporto teikiamus privalumus. Svarbiausias straipsnio tikslas – ištirti įvairiarūšio transporto terminalų valdytojų ir kitų sprendimų priėmėjų bei specialistų požiūrius ir interesus naudotis Rytų–Vakarų bei Šiaurės–Pietų tarptautiniais transporto koridoriais, taip pat jų ketinimus plėtoti tarpusavio kooperavimąsi. Remiantis atliktais tyrimais pasiūlytas inovacinis transporto srautų sinchronizavimo tarp pagrindinių įvairiarūšio transporto terminalų modelis.
Reikšminiai žodžiai: TEN-T koridoriai, įvairiarūšio transporto terminalai, sąveikumas, sinchronizavimas, modeliavimas.
