Serious problems and risks can be observed in European freight transportation development. However, the transport and logistics sector shows a lack of tradition in utilising systematic innovation management to overcome these problems. Hence, this volume puts forward a specific and comprehensive Systemic Migration-Oriented Innovation Management Method. Within the scope of this research, seven case studies of European freight transport innovations have been conducted using this method. They offer a broad, comprehensive and up-to-date view concerning different carriers, degrees of automation, and corridors across Europe. These case studies demonstrate how implementations of innovations may be performed successfully.

Introduction.- Significant aspects of the land-based long-distance freight market.- Systemic, migration oriented method of innovation management.- Detailed presentation of supportive tools.- Case studies - Part I: Innovative technologies in European freight transport.- Case studies - Part II. Innovations to improve the intermodal transport chain.- Case studies - Part III: Logistic service innovations.- Conclusions and perspectives.- Summary.- Bibliography.
