Inland Water Transport

Advantages of specific modes of transport can be best taken by employing various technologies of combined transport. In the up-to-date logistic schemes based on the “just-in-time” and “just-in-sequence” concepts, it is most appropriate to use railway service and inland water connection as the most environmentally friendly and effective modes designed and built for medium- and long-distance freight transportation. The development strategy of the Russian Federation’s inland water transport for the period until 2030 is aimed at providing conditions under which to improve the sustainability of domestic transport system with due regard to shifting the balance between transport modes by switching some portion of cargo traffic from overland modes of transport to inland water transport.

Lagos city has abundant navigable inland waterways which if fully harnessed would help minimise road traffic congestion, pollution and provide low cost means of long distance travel within the city. This study examines inland water transport services on Lagos lagoon focusing on Ikorodu-Ebutte Ero route. Primary data were obtained using structured questionnaires. While, secondary data were sourced from relevant government and private agencies. Data were analysed using descriptive techniques including frequency counts, tables and graphs. The results revealed an inadequate provision of terminal facilities and vessels in the area. It was also found that most (67.3%) of the trips via water transport in the were mainly for work purpose. In addition, low patronage was observed and it was found to be mostly due to comparatively high cost of fares and passenger safety concerns, as indicated by 67.4% and 58.7% of the respondents respectively. Furthermore, high income earners where found to patronise this mode than low income earners. The high frequency of use of water transport by the respondents (71.3% travel by water every day) indicates that, this mode has great potential of being widely adopted, if greater attention is given to its development by both the government and private sector. There is, therefore, a need for more investment in water transportation in the area through the provision of modern infrastructure and vessels.

Inland Water Transport

The article reveals and describes competitive advantages of the inland water transport of the Russian Federation in the context of the appointed government activities to modernize the infrastructure of integrated transport system. Integration into the world transport system is linked to the efficiency increase of transport services within the country, use of transit potential, meeting the needs of the economy and society in quality and competitive transport services. There have been considered the problems and factors of increasing the competitiveness of inland water transport as a part of the country's transport system. The analysis of the qualitative characteristics of inland waterway transport has been done. Besides, there have been studied the following characteristics: the cost of transportation, energy efficiency, energy intensity, capital investments into the infrastructure, the costs of maintaining waterways, environmental and safety parameters in water transport, all of these making the combination of competitive advantages. Today the main difference of Russian methods of assessment of the water transport advantages from foreign methods consists in taking into account environmental and safety factors. There have been analyzed the advantages of transport modes with the benefit of the cargo owner and society, identified criteria of choosing modes of transport in terms of its competitive advantages. There have been suggested the methods of increasing competitive advantages of inland water transportation: providing the shippers with modern services , developing instruments of engaging investors with relation to peculiarities of investing into transport infrastructure development. To reach the well-balanced transport system of the country there has been proved the need to develop and realize complex measures of the state policy of supporting the river transportation.

Inland Water Transport

The most important direction in the development of the country's transport system is to ensure a balance between modes of transport. This is stated in the strategic documents for the development of both the transport complex of the Russian Federation as a whole, and individual program documents for the modes of transport. First of all, we are talking about the existing imbalances in the pace and scale of development of various modes of transport. The consequences of the imbalance of the country's transport system in inland waterway transport are especially noticeable. The urgency of solving this particular problem is indicated in the «Strategy for the development of inland water transport of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030». The analysis of the development of the transport complex in Russia in recent years indicates that the dynamics of the transportation of goods and passengers by inland water transport since 2014 can be characterized as stagnation. This state of inland waterway transport was largely facilitated by the presence of limiting areas on a single deep-water system, a low level of fleet renewal, outdated infrastructure and a number of other factors. The way out of this situation for inland waterway transport is seen in the search for ways to increase its competitiveness based on the development of multimodal transportation and its inclusion in logistics chains with rail and road transport, as evidenced by the experience of European countries.

Inland Water Transport

Sustainability of transport systems is a key issue in transport. The main question is whether high levels of road and railway transport in areas along navigable waterways is an effective solution for this issue. The Danube waterway is an example. Generally, it is not observed that traffic performance is not as high as on the Rhine. This paper deals with the revelation of the available capacity of this waterway based on approximation functions and their comparison with real transport performances. This methodology points to the level of use of waterways. The connection of this model with the production of fossil fuels creates a basis for a case study. The case study in this paper offers a possibility for a sustainable and environmentally friendly transition from road transport to inland water transport on the example of specific transport routes. The main contribution of this paper is a presentation of the application of sustainable models of use transport capacity to increase the share of environmentally friendly and sustainable inland water transport. The conclusion based on the case study and materials is that the available capacity of inland water transport on the Danube could support the transition of traffic performances to sustainable and environmentally friendly means of transport.

The paper deals with the importance of regional airport for economic development of the particular region with the possibility to cover also freight transport. In technical terms it is called the logistics centre or Freight Village. The special emphasis is given to the Pardubice airport and to creation of logistics centre on the Elbe river. The logistics centre would link four types of transport – railway, road, air and inland water transport. Terminal of the combined transport, which lacks in long term in the region, is also a part of the logistics centre.

Inland Water Transport

The article discusses communication facilities for transmitting corrections and ephemeris data, analyzes methods of calculating errors of satellite position finding, and gives results of field tests for determining accuracy of the location for Real Time Kinematic and Precise Point Positioning modes. There has been carried out a survey of the existing functioning differential satellite subsystems, satellite differential correction and monitoring systems. The methods of differential coordinate correction currently used on the inland water transport provide accuracy within 1-5 meters. As in the unmanned mode the given accuracy is not sufficient, there appears the need to develop methods for calculating location finding with centimeter precision. Precise positioning relative to the axis of the ship's course will make it possible to control the vessel in the unmanned mode, as well as to use robotic facilities on water transport capable of making safe voyages on a set of waypoints tied to geographical coordinates.
