Abstract
A proposal for evaluating the attractiveness of the first European ro–ro service based on traditional bogies is presented, to estimate to what extent its realization is able to influence distribution of freight transport, between the traditional road transport and the new alternative available, through the specification and calibration of a modal split model (Logit), based on random utility theory. For the scenarios analyzed, the model estimates that nearly 4% of the total shipments would use the ro–ro service, when its frequency is four journeys per day, and about 9%, in the case of increased frequency to ten.
