In this paper, we establish an appraisal of research on earthbound transport exchange systems in order to identify findings of interest for both goods and passenger transport. Closing the gap between these two fields of research could improve both research itself and the management practices in both fields. To meet this objective, we first sought to identify “missing issues” (subjects addressed in one field and ignored in the other). We then tried to test common hypotheses in case studies in the two sectors. We finally explored the transfer of methodologies from one sector to the other.
