Problems in defining and in terminology of intermodal transport

The terminology of intermodal transport has not been standardized and varies from country to country. Because of the differences in understanding certain terms used by the participants of combined, i.e. intermodal transport, the basic terms of intermodal transport are differently defined and used, and these often replace the terminology in practice and are added to the same system. The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT), European Union (EU) and the European Commission (EC) brought in 2001 a document entitled: ?Terminology on Combined Transport? with the aim of analyzing the definitions and standardizing the terminology. A special aspect of the problems regarding the lack of consistency in using the terminology of intermodal transport is the respective legal terminology. The lack of agreement and the lack of uniformity in using the legal terminology regarding intermodal transport can be seen in the legal acts of almost all branches of national and international traffic, which reduces the legal safety and causes problems in the communication of users, traffic experts and lawyers.
