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