The principle of co-modality requires that each type of transport has to be used according to its strengths and efficiency advantages in an environment of fair competition with optimally interlinked transport systems. With the increasing intelligent networking of vehicles and the digitalization in and around the vehicle, transportation and its infrastructure will change substantially.
