Effects of Intermodal Transport in Environmental Protection

Intermodalni promet danas predstavlja veliku ulogu u zaštiti okoliša od negativnih utjecaja prometa i klimatskim promjenama. Zbog loše uporabe fosilnih goriva dolazi do temperaturnih promjena zato razvijanjem i ulaganjem u intermodalni promet pokušavaju se smanjiti emisije štetnih plinova pomoću raznih mjera za zaštitu okoliša. Svaka grana prometa ima svoje prednosti i nedostatke, a pri transportu robe pokušavaju se iskoristiti prednosti da bi utjecaj nedostataka na okoliš bio slabiji. Vrste transporta koje obuhvaća ovaj završni rad su cestovni, željeznički, zračni i vodni promet. Cestovni transport kao vodeći zagađivač okoliša predstavlja najveći problem koji je potrebno minimizirati, a moguće je to učiniti poticajem upotrebe intermodalnog transporta.Today, intermodal transport plays a major role in protecting the environment from the negative impacts of transport and climate change. Due to the poor use of fossil fuels, temperature changes occur, therefore, by developing and investing in intermodal transport, attempts are made to reduce emissions of harmful gases by means of various environmental protection measures. Each branch of transport has its advantages and disadvantages, and when transporting goods, they try to use the advantages in order to reduce the impact of the disadvantages on the environment. The types of transport covered by this thesis are road, rail, air and water transport. Road transport as a leading polluter of the environment represents the biggest problem that needs to be minimized, and it is possible to do this by encouraging the use of intermodal transport
