However, to date, no concrete attention has been paid to decision problems arising in the allocation of security resources in a multi-modal transportation network. This is thus a research subject deserving much more attention from the academic world as well as from governmental authorities. 

In this work a model which can guarantee the security of a multi-modal transportation system facing... 

Since hurricane Katrina, the importance of evacuation planning has increased several folds. Now sophisticated techniques are used to incorporate multi-modal transportation networks. Military airlift resources are used to facilitate evacuating people out of the affected area. More complex evacuatiOTi planning is being considered, such as using elementary schools as rally points for evacuation.

Annex to include some additional soft rights (for example, ground handling) as well as some aspects of hard rights (for example, air cargo, non-scheduled and multi-modal transport). However, there is no global consensus at this stage on whether or how this would be achieved. Supra, note 3. 

Esveld et a/.81,82 developed a continuous dry media reactor (CDMR) for pilot-scale applications. It consisted of a multi-modal tunnel microwave cavity operating at a frequency of 2.45 GHz with a power range from 0 to 6 kW irradiated on a surface of 0.6 m2. Temperatures of up to 250°C were achieved. A web conveyor travelling at 17 cm min-1 transported the solid-phase reaction mixture to the oven in low, open Pyrex supports closely packed on a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated glass fibre. An open flat bed process was employed to facilitate easy evaporation.

One of the key factors of the chemical supply chain is multi modality i.e., the use of different transport modes, each having their own characteristics with respect to economic and environmental parameters, as well as characterized with safety and security mode-specific features. Multi-modd transportation indeed is very important and it is...
