DDD is the transport of a complete road vehicle, accompanied by the driver, using another mode of transport (for example ferry or train).[1] This form of intermodal passenger transport has been, and still is, relatively common in Europe, where accompanied road vehicles have been transported by air in the past, and are still frequently transported by either rail or water.

Between 1948 and about 1980, there were several routes in Europe on which accompanied road vehicles were carried by aircraft, initially with the Bristol Type 170 Freighter, and then with the Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair. [2]

Accompanied combined transport by rail[edit]

Introduction[edit]

There are three basic types of rail service on which accompanied road vehicles may be carried:

  • A car shuttle train is a train used to transport cars, or automobiles, and usually also other types of road vehicle, a relatively short distance while accompanied by their occupants. This type of rail service usually transports accompanied road vehicles through a rail tunnel connecting two places not easily accessible to each other by road.
  • A rolling highway (originating from the German designation Rollende Autobahn, also known as Rollende Landstrasse ("rolling country road"), abbreviated RoLa), is a combined transport system used to transport trucks or lorries by rail, accompanied by their drivers travelling in a passenger car with seats or beds.

The following examples of rail services involving accompanied combined transport are presently confined to car shuttle trains.

Up until the opening of the Gotthard Road Tunnel in 1980, there was also a car shuttle train through the Gotthard Rail Tunnel between Göschenen und Airolo. Following the catastrophic fire in the road tunnel on 24 October 2001, this car shuttle train resumed operations for a few weeks.[3]
