“…Thus, the capacity estimation based on compression of subsequent train paths closely together (with time supplements added to secure quality of operation) gives various results, depending on length of the chosen line section-see the 2nd edition of UIC Code 406 Capacity [25]. Positive influence of overtaking tracks on railway capacity was demonstrated, for instance, by Gašparík et al [26]. However, utilization of such tracks in operation should be verified-ideally by microsimulation, as shown byČamaj et al [27], so that investment in an additional track can be justified.…”

Freight rail transport plays key role in the transition to sustainable development. However, on European mainlines, freight trains have to cope with busy passenger operation—mostly in the form of (integrated) periodic timetables. Freight trains are characterized with very diverse parameters, so scheduling pre-arranged periodic freight train paths (PFTPs) on the basis of one sample freight train does not meet the needs of most freight operators. This article introduces new detailed framework process for hierarchized construction of differentiated (segmented) pre-arranged PFTPs. The process considers fluctuations in demand for capacity from freight rail operators, so the quality of a freight train path in terms of number of stops is related with its construction priority. This way, the process enhances competitiveness and decreases energy consumption of freight railway, as a factor for sustainable development. Correctness of the framework process is tested on the example of the Prague—Dresden mainline, in the context of prospective (denser) model passenger timetable. Results show that above 70% of real freight trains from the available historical data can fit into the proposed PFTPs. As a conclusion, the authors recommend reduction of service of the least frequent stops of regional trains to reduce number of scheduled stops for freight trains.

The article is focused on detailed framework process for hierarchized construction of periodic freight train paths (PFTPs) – allocation of pre-arranged railway capacity to freight rail operators. The framework process considers fluctuations in demand for capacity from freight rail opera-tors, so the quality of a freight train path is related with its construction priority. Introduced framework process aims to offer freight rail operators attractive train paths, with low number of scheduled stops, and this way enhance competitiveness and decrease energy consumption of freight railway as a factor for sustainable development. The proposed generic process is in-tended for all time horizons of capacity allocation. Correctness of the framework process is tested on the example of mainline Prague – Dresden, in the context of prospective (denser) mod-el passenger timetable.

“…These studies were of both theoretical and applied regional nature. From theoretical studies of international transport corridors, we first note the definition of their structure with an emphasis on transport infrastructure facilities serving transportation [1] and an analysis of the role of international transport corridors in the formation of a single transport space between the countries through which they pass [2]. Applied research on international transport corridors is of more versatile nature.…”

Features, problems and opportunities for the development of transport corridors in the Eurasian Economic Union

International transport corridors are a manifestation of transport links between states with the goal to expand economic contacts and develop transit traffic between them. International transport corridors ensure the coordination of transport systems of the participating states for the implementation of prompt, safe, large-scale and cost-effective supply of goods on a regular long-term basis. International transport corridors within the EAEU countries unite various types of transport routes, transport infrastructure facilities, vehicles and transport authorities. The decisive factor in the development of international transport corridors within the EAEU is the spatial localization of this integration grouping in the center of Eurasia between the European Union and China as the two main economic poles. Such location of the EAEU countries determines their opportunities for the transit of goods through their territory. However, the transport complex of the EAEU faces a number of problems that can be minimized through the implementation of promising projects for the development of transport and logistics infrastructure based on attracting investments and coordinating management decisions in the field of regulation of mutual transportation. This study examines the features of international transport corridors passing through the territory of the EAEU countries, analyzes the potential and problems of their development, and identifies opportunities for the implementation of large transport and logistics projects.
