"Based on different threat scenarios, this brief study outlines the effects on the transport modes road, rail and waterways and determines the resulting need for action for rail freight transport. The terminals for multimodal transport are of particular importance in this context. Possible measures such as the provision of reserve capacities and thus the pricing of risks when determining the optimal utilisation of the transport networks or the creation of emergency schedules for freight transport that can be implemented immediately will be critically reflected upon."
