Synchromodality pilot study: Identification of bottlenecks and possibilities for a network between Rotterdam, Moerdijk and Tilburg

Abstract

ln 2011, TNO performed a study 'Roadmap Synchromodaliteit' for the Dutch Ministry of lnfrastructure and the Environment. In the work plan for this study, support for a pilot study on topics around Synchromodality was also included. The goal of the synchromodality pilot study is to research the possibilities of implementinq a svnchromodal transport svstem on the corridor from Rotterdam to Tilburg and identify bottlenecks and challenges and if possible also practical solutions for these bottlenecks. Svnchromodal transport is defined as constantly tuning inside and between good chains, transport chains and infrastructure so that given the aggregated transport demand, and at any moment in time, the best modality can be chosen. Key aspects to synchromodal transport are mode free booking, joint planning and coordination for a network of chains and not for individual chains. This asks for good information infrastructure and flexible operations. The goal is to make optimal use of available capacity on the network.
