The efforts of academic researchers over recent years to model modal-split in the freight market have not yet been fully rewarded. The study, reported here, was one which endeavored to look beneath the surface of aggregate data concerning the volumes, distances, unit-loads, frequencies and costs of freight transport in the UK to explore the important underlying factors influencing choices of mode. The conclusions confirm the need to study modal choice in the freight market at a highly disaggregated level in view of the widely differing requirements for transporting, storing, transhipping and delivering goods across the full range of commodities carried. The basis of effective competition between modes, largely confined to road and rail over longer ranges of haul-length, is determined as much by the attitudes of consignors to the service provided by each mode as by their published or quoted freight rates.
