| Abstract | Synchromodal transportation is a novel multimodal transportation concept. It builds on a collaboration of shippers and logistic service providers to enable real-time switching between transport modes and mode-free transport bookings, enabling more flexible and sustainable freight transportation. This paper summarizes the current state of research since 2010 by means of a systematic literature review. A comprehensive taxonomy consisting of five dimensions and 13 categories for both qualitative and quantitative papers is developed. The results reveal a mixed picture, with high consistency in geographical areas of synchromodal transportation implementation and suitable modeling of operational disruptions and uncertainties. However, compared to multimodal or road transportation, there is little alignment in the forms of collaboration, network organization, or the advantages of synchromodal transportation. Finally, the main fields for future research are identified, namely business, legal, technological, modeling, and awareness. |
