This article focuses on the assessment of the efficiency of the modernization of railway wagons intended for passenger transport. The modernization of railway wagons is an important step towards ensuring the safer and more efficient operation of railways. However, this modernization is not without risks and, in addition to its many positive effects, it can also bring new challenges in the form of breakdowns and technical problems. Failures in passenger rail vehicles are a challenge facing manufacturers and transport operators, and identifying the relationships between these failures can help to improve the design, manufacture, and maintenance of these vehicles. Passenger rail vehicle failures can vary in nature, whether mechanical, electrical, or inside the vehicle. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive view of the effectiveness of passenger rail car retrofitting based on the data collected and statistical analyses. The article further focuses on the description of selected rail passenger wagons, describes the analyses of the statistical data using the correlation between the selected rail wagon failures and their significance, in addition to whether the impact of modernization reduces the number of rail wagon failures. The results of this statistical analysis can be used to better understand the impact of modernization on different aspects of passenger transport and will help in making future investment and policy decisions in this area. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

“…The results indicate that, for business travelers, the proposed model provides satisfactory results, while the model overestimates the market share for private trips because of the parameter setting problem of the in-vehicle travel time variable. Gasparik et al applied the gravity model to evaluate the potential of rail transport by accounting for several factors, including population, travel distance, accessibility, if a sightseeing spot, business office or school is nearby, if the rail serves regional or intercity customers, and if the rail line parallels a highway segment ( 18 ). Cordera et al estimated the demand by nonlinear Poisson regression and gravity models ( 19 ).…”

The shares of the domestic market of public transportation systems in Taiwan have shown a significant change since 2007 when the high-speed rail (HSR) began operating. Specifically, the passenger demands of conventional trains operated by the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) have been shrinking in long-distance trips but increasing in short-distance trips after the operation of the HSR system. In Taiwan, passenger rail volumes are highly dependent on the integration conditions of both the HSR and TRA stations. To analyze the impact of station integration/connection conditions on rail passenger demands, random-effects panel data models were calibrated and validated to describe the relationship between rail ridership and a vector of influence factors. Using an 11-year passenger volume dataset of both the HSR and TRA systems, the empirical study results indicated that total employment and the number of daily trains have a positive effect on rail ridership. In contrast, in- and out-of-vehicle travel times are negatively associated with rail ridership. The developed models were applied to investigate the HSR station location problem for a southern extension segment in Taiwan. The results of the scenario analysis led to suggesting that the government establish the HSR Pingtung station connected to a TRA’s minor station to maximize the total revenue of both rail systems. When establishing a new HSR station, the proposed panel data model can be applied to determine the appropriate station integration pattern that maximizes the total volume, revenue of the rail service, or both.

“…This time is lower after the introduction of band express trains. The basic principle of the band service is shown in Figure 9, where the ''blue" line operates in the band A-B as an express train that does not stop anywhere, and it operates in the band B-C as a stop train, while in hub B, there is a transfer from the stop ''green" line [32,33]. A band type of service is usually planned in regional and tables.…”

Quality and efficient long-distance transport as a key system of public passenger transport could be the basis for the national and international comprehensive integrated transport system. Especially due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 disease, the demand for long-distance transport has significantly decreased since March 2020 in the Slovak Republic on the busiest long-distance line Bratislava–Žilina–Košice. It is, therefore, necessary to propose various measures in order to increase this demand and bring passenger frequencies to at least the level of values before this period. This paper analyzes the impact of the measures on passenger frequencies in 2020, examining the amount of their fall in individual months of the first half of the year 2020 on the long-distance route Bratislava–Žilina–Košice. Furthermore, the paper deals with the long-term concept of national long-distance passenger rail transport on the mentioned line in the period after the end of the pandemic. It uses scientific methods enabling to rationalize and optimize current train timetables. The benefits of these proposals will be to offer passengers better transport services, with their frequencies expected to increase in the coming years.
