Promodi doit donner une image réaliste des modes de transport alternatifs aux chargeurs Les chargeurs disposent depuis hier d’un instrument de travail virtuel leur permettant de comparer l’utilisation de différents modes de transport pour un flux de marchandises donné avec celle d’autres chargeurs. Cet outil lancé par le VEV, l’Association des ports flamands (VHV), SAV, B-Cargo et Promotie Binnenvaart Vlaanderen pour aider les chargeurs à faire leur choix de transport s’appelle Promodi. Le but est également de confronter les chargeurs aux expériences d’utilisateurs, de sorte à ajuster la perception d’un mode de transport donné. Enfin, ils veulent aussi développer sur base de ces éléments un instrument de gestion de l’information avec conseils envers le gouvernement.
