    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Modern transport and freight distribution system all over the world are tending towards the&lt;br&gt;
adoption of best practices those are reliable, timely and cost effective. Multimodal transport&lt;br&gt;
between road and rail, also known as combined transport, has received a large interest in recent&lt;br&gt;
years as part of a possible solution for a sustainable and efficient transport system. Hence, this&lt;br&gt;
study focuses on the model development and analyse the model validation of the potentials of&lt;br&gt;
integrated rail-road freight transportation of Ethiopia from Djibouti port to Addis Ababa and&lt;br&gt;
other major cities. Much of the primary data is obtained through the administration of a&lt;br&gt;
questionnaire specifically designed to gather information on the cost involved, distanced&lt;br&gt;
covered, area coverage, amount of tonnage during import and export, problems during loading&lt;br&gt;
and unloading and time taken to deliver cargoes to consignees. The respondents that are selected&lt;br&gt;
systematically for this study are traffic officers of major transport companies. Secondary data&lt;br&gt;
sources were obtained from the interviews of major transport companies operation, technical and&lt;br&gt;
marketing managers such as from Trans Ethiopia PLC, Ethiopian Railway Corporation,&lt;br&gt;
Ethiopian Shipping Lines and Logistics Enterprise and from Ministry of Transport&lt;/p&gt;</description>
