Development of the general technology of piggyback transportation

Abstract

The modern piggyback transport and technological system is a synergistic use of road and rail transport in order to improve the efficiency of cargo transportation. The main principle of operation is the transportation of semi-trailers and swap bodies using railway platforms, which helps optimize logistics processes, reduce costs and shorten delivery times. The article discusses the key methods of organizing piggyback transportation, their classification, advantages and disadvantages. It also analyzes the issues of digitalization of logistics, monitoring of cargo transportation, the impact of the regulatory framework and safety requirements. Particular attention is paid to technical and organizational aspects, as well as the prospects for the development of piggyback transportation in modern conditions.
