TY - JOUR TI - The Cost of risk evaluation in intermodal transport – variant analysis AU - Lorenc, Augustyn AU - Kuźnar, Małgorzata TI - The Cost of risk evaluation in intermodal transport – variant analysis AB - In the article, the impact of monitoring systems on the possibility of lowering costs and improving the flow of information in the transport chain has been analysed. For the analysed transport chain, tree variants have been taken into consideration: variant I – without using systems for monitoring location, variant II – container transportation with using systems for monitoring location, variant III – container transportation with using location monitoring and cargo parameters. The conducted tests made it possible to confirm the benefits of implementing this type of system, especially for high-value goods. In the article, a simulation for 50,000 cases of container transportation was done. The simulation and cost analysis has shown that it is possible to reduce the cost of risk significantly.
