文摘

A detailed model allows to compare costs and times of all-road and MoS transport. The main factors affecting mode choice are analyzed trough a survey at trucking firms. Modal choice is affected in particular by monetary costs and travel times. MoS traffic is a small percentage of road traffic because of the low number of routes. The analysis, developed for an Italian case study, can be applied to other European scenarios.
