Abstract
Intermodal transport, as exemplified by numerous studies, is very important for sustainability development of the industry. Individual regions should strive to develop these transport technologies, which use physical resources of the region, geographic shape, communication routes, etc. This matches the concept of sustainable development of the region, particularly through the impact on the reduction of external transport costs. Thus, the purpose of the chapter is to identify and evaluate the criteria shaping the attractiveness of the near-border region from the intermodal transport development point of view. Modified Emerald model was used to study the region attractiveness and the evaluation was based on statistic indicators, description data and estimates of experts. The chapter is an attempt and introduction to wider studies concerning the regions’ attractiveness in the context of development of intermodal transport and determination of its maturity level in cross-border region TRITIA. Future plans involve performing studies within different near-border regions within the scope of TRITIA cooperation and verifying indicators subjected to evaluation.
