Description of the research topic:

a./ Antecedents: Nowadays the globalized markets faces newer and newer challenges, where the backbones of the market supply are the freight transport networks. The financial, environmental and social sustainability are growing and inevitable aspects of macro-level freight transport models, although the are only few theoretical approaches how to get a grip on this issue, to investigate and analyze the problems, and to draw solutions for improving the overall efficiency of global freight markets.

b./ Aim of research: The general objective is exploring and evaluating the current macro-level freight models in the globalized markets, setting up new factors in the models for improving the sustainability aspects, and critically reviewing the conditions of real implementation in practice.

c./ Tasks to be performed, their main elements, time requirement:
1. Literature review, setting up the state-of-the-art, even in theory and in practice – 1 year.
2. Elaborating theoretical background of globalized freight transport processes from sustainability point of view. – 1,5 year.
3. Verification of the new approach, analysing requirements of implementation – 1,5 year.
