AB It is well known that one of the most efficient ways of moving goods is the combination oftwo freight transport systems, rail and road. The purpose of this study is to evaluate factorsthat affect the competitiveness of intermodal rail-road transport (IRRT). Previous researchhas focused on the definition of a multi-criteria framework to identify and prioritize thedetermining factors. However, the assessments have been done before the coronaviruspandemic, but after the quarantine and post-quarantine period of the virus, the prioritizationof these criteria has definitely changed in the view of experts and customers. The appearanceof a drastic change in some of the influencing factors during this period, e.g. politicaldecisions that affect regulation and operations, as well as changes in technology and the useof infrastructure, have make it necessary to reevaluate the IRRT.In order to carry out this evaluation, a combination of two methods has been performed: (i)Laboratory-based hierarchical structure to test and evaluate the gray decision (gray-DEMATEL), and (ii) Network Analysis Process (ANP) to carry out the evaluation of theIRRT system in Spain. As a result of this work, an ex- ante and ex- post analysis of theevaluation of the criteria is shown, with respect to the evaluations made by decision makersduring the post-pandemic.This work shows how the importance and necessity of the criteria have changed as the worldhas changed due to Covid-19, and what factors have changed the priorities of customers,experts and operators based on the current situation. This research also provides theoreticaland managerial insights for policy makers and researchers in this field.
