Multimodal Transport. Concept and Suggestions of Application to the Situation of Romania. Combined railway-motor transport also referred to as multimodal transport, appeared as a necessity to the reduction of the pressure exercised by the heavy road transport (truck), from the terrestrial roads to the railway, which, in French geographic literature bears the name of “ferroutage”. Romania disposes of a dense railway network, but it does not own, at this present moment, a road network that would be adapted to the heavy road transport, which is found in an exponential development, and this issue arises with acuity. According to the Western model, we propose a series of sectors of roads which register high values of traffic and which can be relieved of the pressure represented by the heavy motor transport that can be redirected on the railway.

Keywords: “ferroutage”, roadrailer, multimoda transport, combined transport, the impact upon the surrounding and anthropogenic environment, the impact upon the population and upon the activities, the impact upon the economical activities, multimodal platforms.
