THE DESIGN OF LOGISTIC CONTROL FOR INTERMODAL TRANSPORT CHAINS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

This paper is a short overview of a research that focused on designing logistic control structures for intermodal transport chains. The research questions are handled on two levels: the upper level focuses on the development of a method to design logistic control structures, and the lower level focuses on the application of the method to actually design logistic control structures. The inductive-hypothetical research strategy will be applied to reach the research objective. A short introduction is given for the first inductive case study, the underground logistic system.
