Transport systems solutions are being intensively employed for the satisfaction of an ever growing in both quality and sophistication demand, while pressures for greater efficiency and sustainability follow suit. Systems dynamics in the transport industry are hence meant to balance elements of market, society and environment altogether. The traditional segmentation of transport modes within strictly defined markets has been replaced by competition among the modes over same market segments, while societal and environmental aspects are increasingly equally addressed in transport policies. Demand decoupling for transport follows hence a “Systems to Systems ” reasoning, where all aforementioned aspects interact. Evidently, these complex systems portray the extent of evolution resulting from an impressive trade growth, with the latter being stimulated by structural changes occurring in the global economies. From an international trade point of view, transport systems respond to and link the deindustrialisation process of the developed world and the industrialisation process of the developing. The slow process of structural change may however conceal its inevitable impact on the transport industry
