Abstract: The optimal design or reengineering of supply chains using intermodal transportation is a very important part of the cost effective logistics system. Within the frame of this paper the author focuses on the optimal design of intermodal transportation problems. The first part of the paper shows the most important aspects of European and Hungarian transportation policies and strategies. The second part of the paper describes a possible model of intermodal transportation problems and focuses on a possible mathematical method based on cost functions. The author supposes a possible heuristic solution method, which makes it possible to find the optimal routing for containers using the possible transportation modes.
