Survey on shunting and last mile traffic

          

This survey is part of a project to investigate the potential of self-propelled freight wagons. It is being conducted by the Institute of Vehicle Concepts of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in the context of the DLR Project ProCo and the Europe's Rail project TRANS4M-R.

The purpose of this survey is to gain knowledge about the transport processes associated with the movements of freight wagons. The focus is on the wagon movements on sidings, branch lines, and last mile journeys, in relation to the wagons' movements on mainlines over longer distances.  Particularly for single-wagonload traffic, the survey should help in the conceptualization of new products which can simplify logistics and increase efficiencies in terms of material and human resources. 

A total of 16 questions are divided into 5 sections. If you have no exact answers to some questions, your best estimate or the nearest fit is preferable to no answer at all, however please feel free to skip any questions you would like to. 

The survey itself is anonymous, however you have the option to enter your contact information at the end of the survey, which will give you the option to have your dataset deleted before the end of the project if you wish, or also, if you agree, to be contacted for potential further exchange.

If you have any questions, please contact us at: david.krueger@dlr.de or benedikt.hertel@dlr.de
