“…Th e demand for specialists in technological and social sciences, their competitiveness in the labour market, prestige and payment as well as the popularity of these specialities among school-leavers have been changing considerably during the nineteen years of Lithuanian independence. Th e accession of Lithuania to the European Union made transport one of the most important branches of national economy (Prentkovskis et al 2008;Vasilis Vasiliauskas and Barysienė 2008). Presently, economic development is hardly possible without an effi cient transport system (providing both local and international transportation).…”

The accession of Lithuania to the European Union made transport one of the most important branches of national economy. Presently, economic development is hardly possible without an efficient transport system (providing both local and international transportation). The operation of industrial, construction and agricultural enterprises as well as work efficiency and a public opinion largely depend on the reliability and effective performance of transport systems which is not possible without qualified transport managers. The paper presents requirements raised for controlling the abilities and level of educating specialists in Transport Management and introduces employee assesment at student skills. Specialists in Transport Management are trained at vocational and higher schools of Lithuania. Experts in the field of Transport Management are trained at two university‐level higher schools in Lithuania (Bachelors, Masters and Doctors) including Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and The General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania (the introduced higher schools are located in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania). Although both study programmes taught at the above mentioned higher schools cover the area of Transport Management, they have some differences discussed in the paper. A brief survey of admission to Lithuanian higher schools is analyzed in the article. Some statistical data on the popularity of study programmes chosen by the applicants participating in the joint admission programme to Lithuanian higher schools is presented in the article. Also the popularity of the study programmes of Transport Management (competition, competitiveness indices and average competitive marks and motivation indices) available at two higher schools of Lithuania is described.

“…According to the welfare theory approach, the internalization of external costs by marketbased instruments may lead to a more effi cient use of infrastructure, reduce the negative side eff ects of transport activity and improve the fairness between transport users. Th e internalization of the external cost of transport has been an important issue for transport research and policy development for many years in Europe and worldwide (Vasilis Vasiliauskas, Barysienė 2008a;Jakimavičius, Burinskienė 2007). Nevertheless, there is no one common agreement on a technique of valuating external costs.…”

“…Customers are willing to pay for the quality of goods and services, i.e. the transportation system must work eff ectively to distribute those goods on customer's demand (Baublys 2009;Vasilis Vasiliauskas, Barysienė 2008a, 2008bMorkvėnas et al 2008;Kiisler 2008;Kabashkin 2007;Meirane 2007;Vasilis Vasiliauskas, Jakubauskas 2007;Meidutė 2007). Th erefore, larger and larger investments are spent annually to maintain and improve the transport system in the EU to benefi t passenger and freight transportation.…”

Abstract. Transport has always been and remained one of the main driving forces in the economical development of any country including Lithuania. Th e paper assesses a positive impact of transport on Lithuanian economy in the light of the analysis of the main indicators measuring the success of the transport sector: the share of transport and warehousing sectors to national GDP (%) and the share of the export of transport services in GDP (%). It is also widely acknowledged that transport is going to play a crucial role in economic development in the future, especially in transitrelated transport like the Baltic States. On the other hand, the growth of transport, particularly in road transport, has had a signifi cant impact on congestion, safety and pollution. Th erefore, the task of transport decision makers is to fi nd the key for sustainable transport development and reduction of a negative transport impact to sustain the transport sector as the engine of economy. Th e paper analyses both the positive and negative impacts of transport on economy and evaluates the possible ways developing the sustainable transport system.

The article presents a valuable concept seeking to solve the problem of demand uncertainty in intermodal transport. Regular traffic is quite important for moving containers, trailers and swap bodies. To keep regularity with uncertain demand means to have backlogs or empty space. Both of them are inefficient from an economical point of view. In practice, a day‐by‐day demand forecast is meaningful only for the next two or three days. This poses serious allotment management problems to freight forwarders and shippers since long‐term contract allotments need to be planned many months ahead. The article presents a stochastic dynamic programming model for a short‐term allotment planning a model that would be very valuable for implementing intermodal solutions. The presented model evaluates optimal cost policy based on the economic trade‐off between the cost of backlogged shipment and the cost of acquiring additional allotment.
