Studies have shown that short-haul airline passenger traffic (less than 500 miles) is decreasing nationwide. This decline may be attributed to legacy airlines' rising costs (especially fuel), increased airport congestion, and increased travel time due to post-September 2001 TSA security screening. Previous studies tended to look at the substitution of high-speed rail and other transportation modes for air travel, especially as travel times shorten. Substitution usually takes the form of collaboration or competition between competing modes and competing carriers. This chapter presents an alternative view – with a discussion of the proposition that air carriers may benefit more from collaborative arrangements that allow them to “own” at least a portion of the intermodal passenger experience rather than shifting or transferring passengers to competing non-air modes. As we believe that this proposal has merit and is worth consideration, we conclude the chapter with a research agenda designed to empirically test the proposition.

Air travel routes and high speed rail connection between Milan and Rome after the Alitalia crisis This paper analyses the first available data about changes in passenger traffic and air/rail fares after the Alitalia crisis and the substantial reduction of the travel time between Milan and Rome, due to the improvement of high speed rail on this connection. As recently happened in similar cases within Europe, the rail has gained a significant share of traffic previously attracted by air transport services. Apart from that, a real price competition is prevented by a number of inefficiencies which are mainly due to the monopolistic position of the new Alitalia on the route Milan Linate-Rome Fiumicino and problems of accessibility affecting our airports, and partly our rail stations too. The role of the various authorities potentially involved is burdened, in the last instance, by infrastructural deficiencies.

Passenger Traffic

To study the problems and opportunities for implementation of high-speed railway (HSR) projects, as well as to confirm the potential demand for highspeed transportation services, the authors studied public opinion regarding three of the potential HSR lines as well as the experience of foreign countries in implementation of projected passenger traffic, financing of construction of high-speed main lines and assessing their impact on the general economic growth of regions.When conducting the study, the authors used the methods of a questionnaire sociological survey, analysis, comparison, induction.The main results of the study have shown that in development and implementation of expensive highspeed rail projects, it is of particular importance to identify the demand of passengers for high-speed transportation, the general attitude and readiness of the population of countries to use such main lines. The article has studied the dynamics of demand for passenger transportation by branded and non-branded trains on key directions, which made it possible to identify several of them as the most promising for development of high-speed lines. The sociological research carried out by the authors, using the method of questioning in social networks, made it possible to reveal the attitude of the country’s residents towards the most potentially promising for high-speed rail projects directions: Moscow–St. Petersburg, Moscow– Kazan and Moscow–Rostov-on-Don. According to the results of the survey, Russians have a positive attitude to development of high-speed railways in the country, most of the respondents intend to use them when it is necessary to make interurban trips, especially on Moscow–St. Petersburg route.The authors present the external economic effects and risks of development of high-speed railways in Russia. The effects comprise the growth of the population’s transport mobility. The potential risks of developing high-speed rail projects are associated with complexity of ensuring reliable operation of rolling stock and infrastructure of these main lines under difficult climatic conditions in Russia, as well as with high cost of travel for Russians, which negatively affects demand. To overcome the latter risk, it is important to form a positive image of projects by modelling public opinion.

This paper analyzes the trends of high-speed and high-speed passenger trains on the railways of Ukraine on the basis of market research and analysis of passenger traffic plying the effectiveness of conventional and high-speed passenger trains within the existing operating model railroad network. The analysis of changes in the competitiveness of rail transport in the passenger transportation market in the implementation of high-speed and high-speed rail passenger traffic. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of most profitable running of passenger trains normal speed (speed up to 120 km/h ) and passenger trains new Hyundai and Skoda (speed up to 160 km/h), which began to run from 2012 on the railway network inUkraine. We prove the efficiency of high-speed railway passenger transportation to Ukraine on the basis of an extensive network of specialized upgraded lines on which trains are capable of speeds up to 180 km/hwith the possibility of partial interaction with conventional network.

Passenger Flows

The article is devoted to methodological features of forecasting intercity passenger flows under the conditions of transformation of the transport system of Russia, namely, the emergence of a new type of rail transport which is high-speed rail. The objective of the article is to present the authors’ methodology for forecasting passenger flows and to prove its higher efficiency relative to the methods used in Russia today. The article considers the historical aspect of forecasting passenger flows, analyzes strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches to forecasting and modelling passenger flows. The authors argue that it is impossible to simulate the number of trips with changes in transportation parameters only on the basis of patterns identified by retrospective data series (the most common approach to forecasting passenger flows in Russia). The article proposes an alternative methodology based on the calculation of passenger’s total costs of a trip, which depend on cost of travel, loss of time, frequency of departure of vehicles and their comfort, as well as considering the dynamics of key social-economic indicators. The technique allows minimizing measurement errors arising from the lack of primary information about some types of passenger transport, as well as calculating the induced demand for trips arising as a result of improved transportation characteristics. The authors identified and expressed in quantitative terms the main factors of redistribution of passenger flows to newly introduced types of transport. The article discusses the experience of forecasting passenger flow according to the proposed method at the example of four itineraries where movement of high-speed trains of Lastochka type started. The forecasted results are compared with the actual volumes of transportation, on the basis of which conclusions are drawn about the effectiveness of the forecasting method and its applicability in modern realities of the Russian transport system. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed approach to forecasting passenger traffic, as well as the possibilities of its implementation and further development in Russia are identified.

Transportation Modes

The coexistence of high-speed rail (HSR) and airline in a busy transportation corridor generates competition between the two transportation modes. An unfair competition between HSR and airline not only reduces both revenues, but also triggers a series of social problems. Based on generalized costs, this paper proposes combining an improved gray prediction model, modified gravity model, and Logit model to predict the average passenger flow, induced passenger flow, and transfer passenger flow. According to the predicted results, we establish a game model that considers different stages of the HSR development. For demonstrative purposes, the approach is applied to an empirical study in China, that is, the competition between Beijing-Shenyang HSR and airline. Malignant fare war will make both parties lose out. Either mode that improves service quality will generate more revenue. If both parties improve the level of service, all incomes of the HSR, airline, and community increase. Results show the HSR contribution is greater than the airline in the case study.
