Environmental Comparison of Different Transport Modes

Abstract

The paper describes the energy consumption and GHG production comparison of three transport modes-road, rail and waterborne. The calculations are done according to the legislation in force-standard EN 16 258:2012 Methodology for calculation and declaration of energy consumption and GHG emissions of transport services (freight and passengers). The results have high informative value because they take into account energy consumption and emissions from primary and secondary consideration. The calculation is done by real fuel consumption values (road and waterborne) and by simulation of energy consumption (railway). The energy and emission coefficients from the standard EN were used for estimating the results according to the well-to-wheels and tank-to-wheels principles.

Application of Specific Mathematical Methods in the Context of Revitalization of Defunct Intermodal Transport Terminal: A Case Study

“…List of these objects, in which intermodal transport is currently carried out, their operators and the annual transshipment volume are summarized in Table 1. Nowadays, the Metrans company is being the fastest growing operator of intermodal transport, which operates its terminals even in Slovakia, Hungary, as well as in Austria, and in 2017, it expanded to the Polish market as well [26][27][28][29][30][31]. As for the investigated city of České Budějovice, the closest terminals are located in Prague-Uhříněves (approx.…”

Porovnanie Výšky Nákladov Za Prístup Na Dopravnú Infraštruktúru v Cestnej a Železničnej Nákladnej Doprave Na Vybraných Úsekoch v Podmienkach Slovenskej Republiky

“…Úlohou regulačných orgánov je zabezpečiť spravodlivý a nediskriminačný prístup na železničnú sieť a k železničným službám a overiť, či sa náležite uplatňujú zásady poplatkov a prideľovania kapacít. Nariadenia predpokladajú koordináciu medzi všetkými zúčastnenými stranami a krajinami najmä v prideľovaní cezhraničnej kapacity, časových plánoch investícií, normách infraštruktúry a stanovení poplatkov za prístup na trate (Gnap et al, 2019), (Skrúcaný et al, 2018). Biela kniha, Plán jednotného európskeho dopravného priestoru -Vytvorenie konkurencieschopného dopravného systému efektívne využívajúceho zdroje určuje víziu aj v oblasti spoplatnenia používania dopravnej infraštruktúry až do roku 2030 a niektoré úlohy smerujú až k roku 2050 (Biela kniha, 2011).…”

Time Availability of the Public Terminal of Intermodal Transport Žilina with a Selected European Maritime Port

“…In order to decide on the mode of transport, it is necessary to take into account criteria other than the price for transport and transit times, but also the environmental impacts of individual modes of transport on the environment and energy effi ciency [17], [18], [29]. For the customer it is also important the monetary cost of transportation via rail freight.…”
