New System

The development of the European economy requires an efficient transport system. The transportation of goods and freight today is mainly done by surface transport, i.e. road and railways. Air cargo within Europe is in general restricted to mail and parcels. This paper describes the current cargo transport system in Europe and compares road, rail and air transport with respect to energy consumption, land resources required, flexibility and cost of transportation. Based on this comparison, an innovative air cargo transport system will be developed. Three main elements are required for the new system: a specific intermodal cargo airport in every major industrial region of Europe, the design of a new container system and the design of a dedicated large cargo aircraft. A conceptual design for a large cargo aircraft will be shown which can meet the technical and operational requirements arising from the new air transport system.

Over the last few years, teams from several research centres have been working on the concept of Small Air Transport, filling the niche between a regular surface transport and a scheduled air transport – on the distances over 200 km, utilizing numerous, though low in volume, passengers’ streams – giving regions a chance to improve their communication capabilities. Small Air Transport’s tasks are performed on small aeroplanes, which take up to 19 passengers, with a flight time of up to 4 h and at a reasonable price for a mass recipient. An important feature of the Small Air Transport system is personalization, which is flexible adaptation of the transport process to the customer’s requirements and capabilities. This paper focuses on the selection and optimization of key parameters of aircraft fleet used in Small Air Transport. The research and analysis were based on the parameters of a reference aircraft selected for each individual class of small aircraft. Taking into account the data of currently used aircraft, the calculations were made to obtain the generalized transport costs per passenger kilometre. The generalized transport costs covers both – the total operating costs and value of time of passengers. As a result of minimizing these costs in terms of the variability of the key design factors of aircraft, the parameters of the recommended aircraft, in particular, classes were obtained. It was found that generalized passenger-kilometre costs for recommended Small Air Transport aircraft are only 20–30% higher than for regional aircraft (with the same load factor) and are more advantageous for Small Air Transport aircraft (lower cost) for small local passenger flows. Utilizing Small Air Transport aircraft, the profitability of air transport expands to significantly less intense passenger flows. The analysis allowed defining key design parameters of aircraft fleet in Small Air Transport in the initial phase of a project.

The global COVID-19 outbreak has demanded drastic actions and policies from the governments and local authorities to stem the spread of the virus. Most of the measures involve behavioural changes from citizens to reduce their social contact to a minimum. Thus, these actions influence individual activity patterns and transport systems in different ways. This paper studies the short-term impacts on the transport system caused by the different policies adopted by the Colombian government and local authorities to contain the COVID-19 spread. Using official and secondary data concerning the seven most populated cities in Colombia, we analyse the impacts on three components of the transport system: air transport, freight transport, and urban transport. Results show that national policies and local decisions have decreased the demand for motorised trips across the cities, diminishing congestion levels, reducing transit ridership, and creating a reduction in transport externalities. The country banned air transport for passengers and only allowed air cargo for medical and necessary supplies, which will have negative consequences for the economics of the airline industry. During the first three months of the COVID-19, freight was the most resilient transport component. However, freight trips diminished around 38%, affecting mainly the supply chain of nonessential products. During the pandemic, governments need to provide subsidies to maintain the system supply to avoid crowdedness and promote active transport by allocating less-used street space to cyclists and pedestrians. In the short term, transportation service providers will face a financial crisis, deepened by the pandemic, which will require government assistance for their recovery.

Transport Of Dangerous Goods

The aim of this paper is to examine the international law governing air cargo transport. The basic research problem concerns the application of the existing procedures in practice. The structure of the article covers three basic exploratory issues. The first refers to the general identification of the international law on air freight transport. The second concerns the classification of dangerous goods and special documents required for air transport. The third relates to the procedures for handling hazardous materials and special goods in air transport. The results of the research process are based on an analysis of the literature and self experience.

Green transport is a concept to build a comprehensive urban transport system, which aims to reduce traffic congestion and energy consumption, promoting a more friendly environment and saving building maintenance costs. From the perspective of urban design, this paper focuses on how to integrate green transport into urban design and discusses the implementation strategy of green transport.
