Multimodal transport is the movement of goods using two or more modes of transport — such as road, rail, sea, and air — under a coordinated plan.
Combining modes lets logistics operators balance cost, speed, and emissions: long hauls might move by rail or sea while road handles first and last mile. Coordinating the handovers between modes is the operational challenge multimodal planning solves.
A routing engine that supports road, maritime, air, and rail lets planners build and price multimodal journeys in one place, with the correct network and constraints for each leg.
