Sažetak
Inter-modal transport represents freight transport ˝from door to door˝ using at least two branches of transport without the change of freight unit. Recently in inter-modal transport there is a greater use of radio-frequency identification – RF-ID technology that enables electronic monitoring of inter-modal freight during the entire transport time, loading trucks or wagons with freight, loading ships with the same freight to the port of unloading and transport continuation to the destination. The results of its use for private companies are reflected on monitoring the flow of freight and the higher market delivery speed, higher productivity and efficiency (which inevitably causes production process improvement), while for the countries it is important to improve national security, reduce traffic congestion etc. With regard to given facts, this paper shows the importance of RF-ID technology for the development of inter-modal transport and it answers some of the crucial questions regarding its application.
