The current state of Synchromodality: an application of a synchromodal maturity model on case studies

The transport sector is vital in today’s global economy. It is continuously
under pressure to transport goods more efficiently, and effectively, from
origin to destination. The pressure originates from different directions.
Congestion on road networks has a negative impact on the environment
and makes travel times unreliable. Moreover, expected increase of oil
prices, road toll, and legislation aimed at achieving greenhouse gas
emission targets for 2050 (European Commission, 2011), make it
economically profitable to use transport solutions that use fuel more
effectively.
