Multimodal transport system challenges & prospects in Ethiopia
https://doi.org/10.46684/2023.2.7
Abstract
The article examines the importance of transport for the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, and also characterizes the existing state of the main types of land transport: road and rail. The article defines the territorial location of the industrial parks of Ethiopia, on the basis of which possible directions of multimodal transport corridors, existing, under construction and promising railway and road transport facilities are assigned. The external and internal factors influencing the formation of variants of the multimodal transport network scheme based on the methodology of designing the
integrated development of a multimodal transport network are determined. This will be used to develop the scheme of the multimodal transport network of Ethiopia. The scheme will become the basis for the formation of a variety of possible strategies for gradually changing the appearance and capacity of multimodal transport network facilities and calculating options for the required freight and passenger flows along multimodal transport corridors.
