Development of fast track systems in transportation has ensured the smooth flow of goods in case of intermodal transport. Security is one of the major concerns for shippers when it comes to transportation.

Many railroads have developed automated gate systems at intermodal ramps. AGS systems include optical character recognition, biometric identification, and high definition video imaging.

Such tools are developed to promote efficiency while maintaining safety and security. All these developments are facilitating the expansion of the intermodal transport market size.

Further, the FMCG sector prefers those transport services that bring products quickly to the market without incurring high costs. As such, this is another sector that has inclined toward the adoption of intermodal transport due to factors such as cost efficiency and eco-friendly transport mode. Increased utilization of intermodal is now a part of many organization’s supply chain strategies. Kimberly-Clark is one such well-known organization that stresses more on the utilization of intermodal freight transport in its supply chain.
