New technologies utilised abroad offer passengers a wide variety of options that can be adapted to passengers’ needs. The application of progressive ways of passenger handling requires the provision of integrated transport systems. Thanks to innovative technologies carriers can extend their offering of transport services with brand new services enabled with these technologies. The article presents the results of empirical research in railway transport passengers’ interest in the utilisation of progressive methods of passenger handling in the Slovak Republic.

“…Based on studies by various authors (e.g. Hensher, 2001;Seidenglanz et al, 2016), for those travelling daily by high-capacity intra-urban networks (metro, light railways, etc.) an acceptable time-accessibility to the nearest station is usually up to 15 minutes, which can also be applied to the territory of Bratislava.…”

“…Elsewhere (for example in British cities), the redevelopment of existing rail networks has been accompanied by a vast construction of new rail system (Edwards and Mackett, 1996). The development of rail systems in the environment of what was the former Czechoslovakia has recently been well documented by Seidenglanz et al (2016), who emphasise that the Czechoslovak metropolitan areas (including Bratislava) witnessed a considerable development of light rail systems (based on fast urban trams) typical for many other European areas.…”

“…Evidently, the greatest potential for the resident populations can be observed in Petržalka, where the potential expressed by population mass would be even higher than for the Central station due to the large concentration of high-rise apartment houses. Any improvement of the high-capacity rail link with the city centre would improve the transport accessibility of Petržalka (Seidenglanz et al, 2016). Similarly, the projected Vrakuňa station might potentially have a high attractiveness due to housing developments in its neighbourhood.…”

Population potential within the urban environment and intra-urban railway network opportunities in Bratislava (Slovakia)

Urban environments in post-socialist cities have generated new challenges for urban planners and decision makers. As one example, the transport infrastructure of Bratislava has not been adjusted with respect to increasing mobility and the transit problems of its intra-urban environment. An upgrading of the conventional railway networks within the city is one of the major opportunities which might considerably improve public transit capacities available for both intra-urban and regional (suburban) transport flows of passengers. Relevant studies on the population potential of residents supporting such upgrades are still lacking. In addition, a detailed database on population distributions within the intra-urban environments of Slovak citiesis not yet available. Therefore, this paper attempts to introduce one of the possible methodological approaches leading to an estimation of population potential as an elementary precondition of intra-urban railway traffic effectiveness, in a society where a detailed database on population distribution is not available.

“…In the last 25 years Bratislava has witnessed a considerable transformation, as demonstrated by vast suburbanisation processes unprecedented in Slovakia (Novotný, 2016;Tóth, 2012;Šveda and Podolák, 2014), although this transformation has not been accompanied by proper transformation of the urban transport infrastructure and capacities (Seidenglanz et al, 2016). As in other postcommunist cities (see Maryáš et al, 2014), these changes have certainly had huge effects on the urban retail environment (Križan et al, 2014).…”

Over the last twenty years or so, researchers’ attention to the issue of food deserts has increased in the geographical literature. Accessibility to large-scale retail units is one of the essential and frequently-used indicators leading to the identification and mapping of food deserts. Numerous accessibility measures of various types are available for this purpose. Euclidean distance and street network distance rank among the most frequently-used approaches, although they may lead to slightly different results. The aim of this paper is to compare various approaches to the accessibility to food stores and to assess the differences in the results gained by these methods. Accessibility was measured for residential block centroids, with applications of various accessibility measures in a GIS environment. The results suggest a strong correspondence between Euclidean distance and a little more accurate street network distance approach, applied in the case of the urban environment of Bratislava-Petržalka, Slovakia.
