Data on intermodal rail connections in Germany

This dataset contains information about intermodal rail connections in Germany and consists of 2 CSV files, which are also combined and available in 1 Excel file with 2 tabs. The data in the file "intermodal_railconnections_2022" describes the following features:
(a) stations and terminals along the connection, including the starting point, endpoint, and if applicable, sometimes a stopover, (b) NUTS classification at NUTS0 to NUTS3 levels for all connections, and (c) operational characteristics, including the operating rail operator(s) and the main rail carrier. The data represents a snapshot from 2022. The file "intermodal_rail_terminals_2022" provides information about the rail terminals in Germany that are served by intermodal rail connections in the data. This includes (a) geographical information classified at NUTS0 to NUTS3 levels, (b) information about the owner and/or operator, (c) infrastructure characteristics, and (d) operational characteristics. All information was obtained through public online research. The research will be presented at the BVL International Scientific Symposium in Dresden on June 20, 2023.
