Transport infrastructure is necessary for the proper functioning of the economy and performs a key role in its development. In this paper particular attention was paid to the development of a linear road transport infrastructure. The research is based on the analysis of statistical data from the databases of the Eurostat and the Polish Central Statistical Office (GUS). The values of road density ratios, which are expressed in kilometers of roads per 100 km2 of the surface area, point to the dominance of Małopolskie Voivodeship over the national average. In respect of annual increases in the length of motorways and expressways, Małopolskie ranks high among western voivodeships, and exceeds the average annual domestic increase by 0.3 km of motorway/expressway section. The density of railroads is high – in this aspect only south-western voivodeships rank higher than Małopolskie Voivodship. Water transport in this region was limited to the operation of one waterway. Air transport in the voivodeship is based on the operation of one regional airport in Kraków-Balice.

Air Freight

Air transport is currently one of the major branches of transport both in the national – and global – economies. It is one of the fastest, most expensive, but at the same time also most effective types of transportation. It plays a fundamental role in the global economy, particularly in the transcontinental carriage of goods and passengers. Its availability and quality constitute a powerful driving force for a country’s development. Air freight transport, both in Poland and worldwide, is seen mostly from the angle of long-distance passenger flights. Given that, one often tends to forget the role of this transport branch in the case of freight transport. Air cargo transport is a booming branch with great development potential. The development of air freight is the key for gaining a competitive advantage by Polish enterprises. This, however, is related to considerable experience and knowledge on the part of both the carrier and the owner of goods with regards to the technical capacities of a given aircraft, maintenance costs, and rule awareness. The objective of the paper is to present the volumes of air cargo shipments in Poland and to identify the hazards and obstacles to its development. The study authors endeavour to analyse air freight transport in Poland. To this end, details will be presented regarding air cargo transport at Polish airports based on the Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) and Central Statistical Office (GUS) data and air market reports.

Basic Purpose

In 1956 there was a significant step in international road freight transport – conclusion of Convention on the contract of carriage in international road freight transport (CMR Convention), the basic purpose of which was to unify the rules in the international transport of goods and thus promote the development of international trade. From a practical point of view, this was very important for both carriers and transporters. The Convention describes the most important document in the carriage of goods – the CMR consignment note.Recently, the term «neutralization» has been used in connection with the CMR consignment note, which is considered as an interference with the system of functioning of transport documents, which aims to obscure the actual movement of the consignment during transport. At the same time, neutralization of the consignment note is not so much contrary to legal norms as it can lead to undesirable consequences for carriers. For this reason, the question of whether it is possible to neutralize the CMR consignment note in accordance with the current rules and whether the neutralization of the CMR consignment note does not violate the functionality of the existing system is relevant. Therefore, the objective of this work is to study the reasons and methods for neutralizing CMR consignment notes, as well as options for handling neutralized consignment notes.Considering that neutralization of the consignment note has become a relatively common practice and means the exchange of original consignment notes or transport documents with other consignment notes or transport documents, canceling the actions of the first consignment note, in the article the authors, based on their own research, identified the possibilities of using the neutralization of the CMR consignment note in practice for certain types of goods, routes of the most frequent use, as well as the risks of these procedures in road transport.

The Impact

An efficient transport system is not only a pre-requisite for economic development but is also important to achieve the objective of economic integration in the world economy. Insufficient transport infrastructure results in congestion, delay delivery time, fuel waste, pollution and accident1 which built inefficiencies in the economy and costs the economy 4 to 6 percent of GDP each year [Shah (2006)and World Bank (2007)], which can be saved by investing in transport services. Realising its importance, the government of Pakistan has initiated National Trade Corridor Improvement Programme (NTCIP) in 2005 to improve logistic and transport infrastructure so that it can fulfill the demand of economy more efficiently. This five years programme includes all sectors that improve performance of corridor-high way namely, road transport, railways, airports, and ships etc. The objective of the programme is to reduce the cost of doing business and improve quality of services. The study quantifies the efficiency of transport sector by evaluating the impact of public investment to improve transport services on the economy in general and on cost of land transportation in particular; i.e., cost of freight and passenger movement and cost of externalities such as congestion, air pollution and accident. The outcome of the study depends on how improved facility is achieved, i.e., who bears the cost and who benefits etc. This paper assumes tax financed public investment that not only change domestic price and demand, but also welfare and poverty. The issue is analysed in computable general equilibrium framework taking into account inter linkages of transport sector with rest of the economy. First, a social accounting matrix (SAM) is developed with a detailed transport module. Then, a dynamic CGE model is developed around this SAM and simulations are conducted for short run and long run analysis of public investment in trans port sector.

Patent Landscape

The Law of Ukraine “On priority areas of innovation in Ukraine” expires in 2021. Therefore, the question of identifying new innovative priorities has been arosen. Transport and transport infrastructure represent an important part of GDP and jobs, the transformation of the transport sector provides huge business opportunities, and transportation services are necessary for the well-being and quality of life of citizens and the competitiveness of the Ukrainian economy. Transport infrastructure is a key element of the many United Nations sustainable development goals. Given all the above and the fact that the demand for transport services will constantly grow due to population growth, increased volumes of production and consumption of goods, transport has great chances to be included in the new list of priority areas of scientific and technological development in Ukraine. Therefore, the analysis of the technological development of this sphere is an urgent task of clarifying the future priorities of innovation in the field of transport in Ukraine. In the work the methodology of scientific and technological forecasting has been developed using the patent landscape and intellectual property analytics and on the basis of forecasting and analytical studies. Using this methodology and the Web of Science, Derwent Innovation and PatSnap and the International Patent Classification (IPC) databases, a patent landscape was built and world technological trends of the field under study were determined, in particular, digitalization, electrification, general mobility, autonomy, decarbonization, as well as the need for a new city planning. It is concluded that patent analysis, patent landscape and patent analytics make it possible to develop a forecast of technological changes, in particular for the transport, and the use of two patent databases increases the accuracy of the forecast. The results of the work make it possible to determine the scientific and technological priority areas for the transport system, and for business and innovation politic to respond in time to changes in development directions and conditions for the functioning of transport, take them into account when developing a transport strategy and get potential benefits and minimize the negative consequences of the events encountered and transport will collide.

Introduction. The active use of the institution of public-private partnership (PPP) allows us to distinguish PPP from the totality of financial and economic relations between the state and the private sector based on the principles of equality and freedom of PPP participants, stability of the agreement and its flexibility, responsibility of the parties, competitiveness, non-interference, incentive and guarantees, retribution.The research hypothesis. The algorithm for selecting and assessing the effectiveness of projects in the road transport market to select the most effective form of financing with the participation of the state and the private sector will create conditions for attracting private investment in the development of transport infrastructure on the basis of public-private partnership.The purpose of this article is to improve the system of public-private partnership in the market of road transport services.The methodology of the study: expert, statistical, comparative, factor and scenario analysis; empirical data analysis using grouping, generalization methods.Results. An algorithm for selection and evaluation of the efficiency of projects in the sphere of the road service market to select the most effective form of financing with the participation of the state and the private sector has been proposed and tested, in particular: four alternative options for project financing to select the optimal one (state order, life cycle contract (LCС) without extra-budgetary financing, LCС with extra-budgetary financing, concession agreement); clarification of the methodology for evaluation of commercial, socio-economic and budgetary indicators of the road service market.Conclusions. Theoretical provisions developing the methodological basis of public-private partnership were formulated, including: the concept of public-private partnership was defined and its main principles were highlighted; classification of PPP forms and models was proposed taking into account the existing world and national practice; methodological tools for evaluation of PPP projects efficiency were improved.

The article is devoted to describing the main trends of Eurasian transport corridors integration in terms of assessment of the participants’ risks. It shows that the format of the transport integration peculiar to the trans-regional alliances initiates risk synergy at the level of business profiles of the amalgamating countries, but not only in the sphere of the transport communication. Besides, the inconformity in the structure of the frights, carried in various directions in Eurasia, means additional financial burden to support the infrastructure and the rolling stock to meet the integration challenges. All these problems lead to impossibility of payback of the transport investment projects both at the level of a single country and any union of countries. Thus, the financial and economic risks of integration projects in transport, with respect to the structure of the energy balances of the countries uniting the transport corridors, request higher demands for the return of capital employed, and, consequently, they are translated into all related industrial sectors on the continent. Ignoring the integration risks in substantiating the projects of international transport corridors leads to increased expectations in regard to socio-economic and geopolitical consequences for international trade agreements, holds back on the volumes of foreign economic activity of the countries, leads to isolationist tendencies at the level of economic entities. As a measure directed to obtaining an effect of the scale sufficient to compensate the business risks of the transport integration, the article offers to organize the transport communication on the continent on the principle of “Management of United Corridor”, involving various types of transport, using the transport logistic hubs. This kind of principle of international cooperation in the transport is particular profitable for the Russo-Chinese relationships, with Russia being a provider of the transport services, and China being the place of origin of the major part of freights transported through international transport corridors.

Abstract Transport is considered one of the basic aspects of the movement of people, raw materials as well as goods from the place of origin to the destination. Moreover, in the wider sense, transport includes economic bodies that aim to achieve goals similar to those of businesses that produce a wide range of goods required by customers. Hence, the efficient operations of basic branches of the transportation system determine the entire national economy. Furthermore, transport is considered a basic factor of development, both on the macro- and microeconomic scales. The aim of the paper is to attempt the assessment of the road transport in Poland as an important element of macro logistics. Furthermore, one of the aims of the investigation was the explanation of its influence on the level of economic development in Poland. As the source of information, the research used the data drawn from the Central Statistical Office of Poland. The main methods implemented in this study were both classic and order synthetic measure construction. Further, these measures were used in econometric models as well as for the prediction of their values. The main result of the analysis indicates that the development level of the widely considered infrastructure is strictly correlated with the socio-economic development of particular voivodships. The study on the level of road transport development can lead to a better understanding of the socio-economic development of particular areas of Poland as well as the more efficient use of the support funds.
