Abstract
The paper presents an evaluation model for the location decisions of road-rail intermodal freight hub. The problem of optimizing individual freight actor´s benefits is addressed in the model which comprises four different modules. Each of the modules represents a hub user, a hub owner or operator, a transport network infrastructure provider and the affected local community. The model is aimed at providing comprehensive operational, economic and environmental criteria for location evaluation decisions pertinent to every stakeholder involved.
