External costs in transportation present an all the more present problem that requires actions for reduction. With that in mind this paper gives a comparative look into the differences between intermodal and road transport in terms of external costs. It gives an insight into the contributing factors of intermodal transport external costs.

Monitoring and management of complex logistics processes could not be realized without appropriate information and communications systems. A well-structured and technically safe information flow of valid data has come to form an essential element for designing and extending materials-flow systems. Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) plays an important role in supporting logistics and supply chain processes due to their ability to identify, trace and track information throughout the supply chain. The paper focuses on the technical characteristics of RFID systems, their opportunities, challenges, barriers and standards. Furthermore, the paper discusses the results of RFID application in the realization of logistics processes. The main goal of the paper is to stimulate further interest in this area by providing a comprehensive review of RFID application, which will be a good resource for researches interested in the RFID systems.

Logistički pristup u prometu znači novu poslovnu politiku, ekonomiju i vlasništvo, novu internu organizaciju, vanjsku i internu komunikaciju, drugu korporacijsku kulturu, upravljanje ljudskim resursima, znanstvenim metodama, osposobljavanje i obrazovanje, promjenjen tip rukovođenja i nagrađivanja, informatička znanja, komunikacijske vještine, elektroničko poslovanje i drugo. Brze tehnološke i društvene promjene zahtijevaju neprestano usavršavanje i dopunjavanje stručnih znanja te usvajanje novih znanstvenih metoda i vještina. To je bio osnovni cilj organizatora 1. Međunarodnog znanstvenog simpozija LOMI 2014.

This paper describes through several examples the latest logistic strategies in container shipping transport. When speaking of logistic strategies one actually speaks about the engagement of the leading world line operators in the logistic sector, i.e. about logistic services that are offered om the liner shipping market. It has been described in which way and how much the container shipping companies integrate logistics for the realization of the strategic goals and how much they are aware of the correlation between the logistics and the liner service. It can be seen that big companies develop their logistic strategies in the areas of economic development in order to strengthen the connections of liner services. The current projects of the biggest container shipping companies have been analyzed with the consideration of their logistic subsidiaries.
