Abstract

There has been significant growth in research on sustainability issues and intermodal transport in freight distribution since the 1990s. However, when it comes to sustainability literature in multimodal transport it seems that there are very few publications. The aim of the study is to analyze the studies that examine sustainability in multimodal transport, which is the most sustainable transportation system. Therefore, the three key phrases, “multimodal transport sustainability”, “intermodal transport sustainability”, and “combined transport sustainability” have been scanned in seven separate databases and the studies obtained have been analyzed by content analysis method. The analysis reveals that railway transportation has prominently been used in the intermodal combinations, which seems to have contributed to gaining sustainability. It is also observed through the analysis that most of the studies have used case study method to analyze the sustainability of multimodal transport activities. Still another point revealed is that the social dimension of sustainability seems to have scarcely been analyzed in the sustainable intermodal transportation literature.
