“…In the first part of the survey, respondents confirm the existence of problems that are identified in the literature (Cruz et al, 2017;Idris et al, 2009;Jog et al, 2015;Poliak et al, 2020;Wiśnicki and Dzhuguryan, 2019;Ivić et al, 2020). This mainly concerns the insufficient number of parking spaces, especially according to people living in multi-apartment buildings and commuting by car.…”

The aim of the article is to identify problems and public expectations regarding parking and the application of different parking solutions. Based on the results of a CAWI questionnaire survey, an evaluation of selected parking solutions is presented. Among others, vertical parking has been taken into account, the use of which is associated with a reduction in the area required for parking and an improvement in environmental performance characteristics at the use stage. This study is part of the search for sustainable solutions in city logistics. The results of the study serve as an initial insight into the opinions of one group of users in the life cycle of a car park. They can be used as an introduction to the eco-design of parking solutions and to compare different parking systems. The study was carried out as part of a project entitled: “Analysis of the environmental impact of a vertical parking solution using life cycle assessment at the design stage” carried out at the Silesian University of Technology.

“…Some proposals for a sustainable European transport system are published in [39]. The assessment of the effects of transport infrastructure on road freight transport performance also needs to include the provision of transport infrastructure with car parks and appropriate equipment for drivers' rest in accordance with social rules, which are still being tightened up [40].…”

Research on the Relationship between Transport Infrastructure and Performance in Rail and Road Freight Transport—A Case Study of Japan and Selected European Countries

et al. 2021

Transport is key for our economy and society, as good transport infrastructure helps to improve the mobility of citizens and the flow of goods. The European Union intends to maintain support for the development of transport infrastructure in the individual Member States. The aim of this study was to use correlation analysis to compare selected parameters of the road and railway infrastructure of Japan and selected EU countries. The significance of the correlations between various parameters characterizing the transport infrastructure of Japan and selected EU countries was tested. Correlation analysis is not typical in transport-oriented research. Several studies have employed such analysis; however, the majority of them have focused on passenger transport and correlations concerning the behavior of the customers of this mode of transport. The aim of this study was to answer the following research question: is there any correlation between transport performance and infrastructure or investment in infrastructure in relation to the mentioned countries, and, if so, is there a connection between the selected countries where this correlation occurs? Greater investment can also be expected in the construction of high-speed railways, given the decisions of some EU Member States not to resume national air transport where there is good railway infrastructure, even after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…The provisions of Regulation that place emphasis on weekly rest periods may bring some favorable response from potential candidates for this profession [14]. Study also shows that it is not possible to meet the requirements of social law and that the current state of freight vehicle parking is unsustainable [17]. More than 15% of all drivers spend the night next to the highway with no comfort, no toilets, or the possibility to wash [24].…”

The social legislation is a current and political issue in the field of road freight transport. Working conditions for drivers in the EU (including Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland) are governed by Regulation (EC) No 561/2006. Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 - known as the Driving Time Regulation - lays down rules on driving times, breaks and rest periods for drivers of lorries and buses to improve working conditions and road safety. A number of new amendments to this regulation were adopted on 15 July 2020. The aim of this paper is to present the most important changes adopted compared to the previous version of the Regulation. The paper deals with the adopted changes in the following areas: weekly rest periods, secure parking areas, vehicles which are transported by ferry or train and exceeding driving time which may jeopardize road safety. The main purpose of this paper is to summarize and inform researchers, practitioners and all interested parties about the adopted changes in the Regulation, as well as the transport companies responsible for planning and scheduling the working time of drivers and also for preventing unpleasant experiences resulting from possible compliance with the conditions of the Regulation. The adopted changes in Regulation are also illustrated in the figures and table to better understand the differences.
