Evaluation of Competitiveness of Rail Transport on Example of Connection Among Regional Capitals in Czechia The article is focused on evaluating the significance of rail passenger transport in transport contacts among regional capitals in Czechia representing the most important centres in the settlement hierarchy. The review of the particular connections works with the values of the year 2007 and is based on the relationship between supply and demand for rail passenger traffic. The evaluation is based on the number of rail links within the working day, while assuming that the supply is influenced by the location of the centre in the transport network and its position in the settlement hierarchy. Real demand data represent the number of tickets sold by the Czech Railways. Theoretical size of the interaction is obtained by application of the gravity model. Based on the final evaluation of indicators of supply and demand for rail traffic among regional capitals and their interactions, relations are described where demand is substantially below, respectively beyond the level of real supply and theoretical interaction, which is based on the importance of centres and their accessibility of the railway transport in time. In conclusion, the opportunities for the development of infrastructure in the selected connection in relation to transport planning are outlined, using the obtained results.

Abstract The study examines factors influencing the number of rail passengers in Poland. The subjects of observation were 62 cities with poviat rights. The main factors influencing demand are the number of connections and the speed of trains. Therefore, we developed an original indicator – weighted number of connections, which takes into account the number of rail connections and the speed of trains. The article can be divided into two main parts: an assessment of the diversification of transport offer and transport demand in spatial terms, and an evaluation of the relationship between the variables. Poland has a large spatial diversity in terms of public rail transport offer and passenger traffic. There are three levels of city hierarchy according to the passenger number indicator: [1] Warsaw, [2] the largest agglomerations [3] other regional cities. Transport offer was found to have a statistically significant impact on transport demand.

This paper presents and analyses the redefined Rijeka railway junction. The redefined concept of the Rijeka railroad hub in the context of port and railway interdependence dictates the need to find the accommodation of cargo transport to peripheral locations such as: Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Bakar, Ivani, Bršica and capacity for the island of Krk, while passenger transport would be implemented in the urban area. The most important projects related to Rijeka rail transport system are the construction of a new line of high efficiency between Zagreb and Rijeka, and a new railroad through the tunnel of Učka which will link the ports of Rijeka, Koper and Trieste. Together with the reconstruction of cargo stations Rijeka and Brajdica, an extension of the other tracks on the railroads Škrljevo-Rijeka and Rijeka-Opatija/Matulji should be performed as well as the construction of Krasica, Ivani, Tijani and Vrgljevo stations. The construction includes a multipurpose bridge to the Island of Krk and a railway line to the new container terminal as well as the new railway bypass to “elevation 200”.

For the description of spatial distribution of passenger traffic in transport network a correspondence matrix is usually used. The elements of the matrix are the volumes of passenger traffic between each pair of network vertices. The elements of the matrix can be calculated with the use of mathematical apparatus based on the transport gravity model. The correspondence matrix gained by the above mentioned method depends on network structure, model parameters and initial data on the number of incoming and departing passengers for each network vertex. Moreover, the dependence has significantly non-linear character and can’t be presented in explicit form. This complicates the research of common properties of correspondence matrix and forecasting its change at modification of transport network, shift in transport behaviour of passengers (it affects the gravity model parameters) and at random fluctuations of number of incoming and departing passengers for network vertices. At the investigation of the mentioned dependence scientists use various approaches on the basis of both analytical apparatus and approximate methods. The paper presents classic simulation modeling for the analysis of the correspondence matrix and the volume of passenger traffic for the linear transport network calculated on its basis. The use of the proposed approach allowed determining that at random distribution of volumes of incoming and departing passengers the passenger traffic is also a random value distributed according to the normal law. Moreover, the authors gained the dependence between the passenger traffic and the parameter of gravity model connected with the average trip length. Besides, the authors studied the dependence of passenger traffic from the network scale.

Abstract The introduction of tact timetable in rail passenger transport is currently a new evolving trend that increases the efficiency of rail transport. This article seeks to contribute in this area of the issue and thus to raise and improve this system of organizing transport in railway transport. The aim is to propose a methodology that assesses the level of stability of tact timetable based on operational and infrastructural factors. The methodology identifies operational-infrastructural factors that affect the stability and reliability of tact timetable. Using scientific methods, it presents the method of their quantification and determination of the weights of these factors, which evaluate the line sections and transport points of the examined transport path. From a practical point of view, the methodology is generally tact applicable to other European railway networks. In the final part of the work, this methodological procedure is applied in the form of model examples for various transport path.

Multimodal Transport

The carriage of passengers takes a significant place in the activities of transport organizations. Ensuring high quality passenger transportation is one of the main tasks of railway transport, which directly depends on the technical equipment and technology of servicing passenger traffic at passenger stations. The introduction of multimodal transport in passenger traffic can change the attitude to transport in general, it will allow: to pick up each passenger the optimal combination of modes of transport (price and quality); monitor the entire transport process and notify of further movements, to hold the carrier responsible for not fulfilling the stages of multimodal transportation. And the organization of the transport and transfer complex will optimize and streamline the process of passenger service. The study was carried out on the example of the transport hub of the station N. Station allows to transfer passengers from rail transport (long and suburban) to all types of urban transport, as well as taxis and personal transport. However, there is practically no interaction with other types of transport at the regional and federal level in this hub. At some distance from station N is a bus station for several long-distance destinations. Territorial location, concentration of several modes of transport, accompanying infrastructure, as well as the potential of this station N allow to organize a prospective transport and transfer complex and attract additional passenger flow, which in the conditions of competition with personal vehicles is important. To do this, all the necessary elements of the multimodal node, necessary for the operation of the transport and transfer complex, are calculated.

Realization of sustainable development of sea passenger transportation and overcoming negative influence of unstable environment are determined by the chosen course, which is the basis of strategic management. According to statistics, the sector of sea passenger transport shows a significant increase both in passenger traffic and the intensity of the work of the ships on the routes. Besides, there are observed changes of the routes of ferry lines, expansion of the fleet, as well as the role of sea passenger terminals is also changing. Ferry lines owners, striving to increase profits and their importance in ports, compete for passenger traffic. This circumstance calls for description of the principles and forms of organization of maritime transport networks, identification of patterns of construction and changes under the influence of the environment on the basis of choosing discrete values of the system states. The received models of marine transport network organization are intermediate stages of development, on the basis of which it is possible to determine potential of the transport network development, to evaluate possibility of the company's transition to a new level. To solve the tasks of strategic management, it is necessary to construct the objective function taking into account a large number of constraints and influence of the environment. The region of the Baltic Sea and the existing network of cruise and ferry routes have been chosen as the object of research. As a result of the analysis, there have been obtained schemes for arranging ferry and cruise lines, models of target functions for achieving transportation efficiency, which will enable to solve the task of strategic management at a qualitative level. The obtained results allow to increase the quality of modeling as well, since they are the initial data that are introduced into the simulation models for development forecast.

The methods in common use for estimating the distribution rate of passenger flow are distribution rate curve method and the function model method. Logit model method is adopted by comparison and selection. The solutions of eigenfunction in traditional model are improved. The utility function of transport product is applied instead of the traditionally used eigenfunction in the Logit model. The distribution rate of passenger transport demand for railway around operation of the passenger dedicated line in Shenyang-Dalian passenger transport market is 55.73% and 69.21% respectively, which is obtained by using improved Logit model. After the operation of the passenger dedicated line, the balance of supply and demand of railway transport product between Shenyang and Dalian can be solved combined with the investigation results of passenger flow.
