Las terminales intermodales de mercanc\u00edas desempe\u00f1an un papel clave en el transporte multimodal. El tiempo de tr\u00e1nsito por estas terminales representa uno de los cuellos de botella m\u00e1s relevantes en las cadenas log\u00edsticas. Utilizan m\u00faltiples modos de transporte (ferrocarril, barco y cami\u00f3n) sin ning\u00fan manejo de la carga en s\u00ed al cambiar de modo (sin servicios de valor agregado).<\/p>\n
An intermodal terminal management system<\/a>, which is typically a <\/a>terminal operating system (TOS)<\/a>, supports terminal operators to manage their terminal(s) efficiently and cost-effective, e.g. from operational planning by loading\/unloading trains and trucks as well as vessels, running the gate operation and managing the storage<\/a> of cargo\/containers in the yard, etc. Apart from the waterborne (sea and inland waterways), air transport can also be integrated within an intermodal freight terminal.<\/p>\n
