A plausible strategy for reducing the freight transport-based negative influence on the physical infrastructure is to develop a more resource efficient way of prioritizing and handling of freight. By using the preferences and demands from the customers it is possible to create an opportunity to classify, or segment, the shipments according to the characteristics and demands of the goods and the current load on the transportation network, transport resources and physical infrastructure. The project involved two studies, one that explored the viability of the freight segmentation concept and one that explored the resource utilization of Logistics Service Providers. The conclusions of the project are that there is a lot of potential for improvement, but that it is not possible to implement the freight segmentation concept with the current level of information system and technological support that Logistics Service Providers have. Efforts have to be taken to improve information- and communication aspects of their operations first.
