Résumé anglais Ten years after being highlighted, the concept of trinomial of interconnection relating to integration of the transport systems in Europe deserves a development insofar as such the amount of research on the interconnection processes and the number of trinomial knew of multiple development. The article first of all reconsiders the nature of the conceptas a place of articulation of heterogeneous networks, its structural components and its essential elements of tionality, bases of distinction of the two types of trinomial, one complete and the other integral one. It then tries to understand the reasons of the emergence of such intermodal nodes, the factors of explanation concerning economic, territorial or institutional logics. But, in front of the extent of the field of research thus traversed by several teams and vis-a-vis the diversity of the studies undertaken on the topic of the interconnection, necessary realignments as well as the integration of the concept in a widened corpus are essential then. Passing finally from the local scale on a European scale, the author endeavours to peel the process of diffusion of this innovation, in his diachronic dimension and his spatial extension, using some maps, by identifying the elements of the process, by breaking up the forms of the propagation and by describing phenomena of barrier.
