Methodology for Assessing the Quality of Rail Connections on the Network

Abstract

The role of the EU transport system is to provide a high degree of mobility where necessary, to increase its performance in terms of speed, comfort, and safety. Achieving a consistent, integrated, and efficient transport system currently requires connections linking all transport modes. The most important criteria from the point of view of passengers are the reachability of the destination and frequency. This paper assesses the quality of rail services by considering the supply of connections on the network. It proposes a methodology for evaluating the constructed timetable in passenger traffic for the assessment of the achievability of tariff points. We also present some results of a case study of a Slovakian railway network.

Methodology of Calculation of the Ticket Markers for Rail Passenger Vehicles

“…Single construction of door allow to entrance (or exit) only one passenger at the same time. In this type of vehicle we must located one marking machines by every door [3][4][5].…”

“…Based on this situation it is necessary located two marking machines at the door. Sets with this type of doors is provided on the regional trains, where is high frequency of passengers [3][4][5].…”

Estimation of Transport Potential in Regional Rail Passenger Transport by Using the Innovative Mathematical-Statistical Gravity Approach

“…More detailed methodology for transport quality assessment in regional transport is published in [5,27]. To ensure of connection quality is very important for timetabling process [28,29].…”

Using Statistical Model of Failure Mode Effect Analysis for Risk Factors in Industrial Logistics

“…In the article "Optimal capital structure as a tool of company competitiveness", Jaros et al (2014) emphasise the economic importance of using the econometric model as a competitive method for increasing enterprises value: "Particular models represent the support of liability management using mathematical and statistical methods, and they play a significant role primarily in terms of deepening theoretical and methodological site of the capital structure management" [15]. Gasparik, et al (2014) provided the statistical regression method for investigating the impact of specific criteria of the network connection. It was proposed in the methodology for assessing the quality of rail connections on the network [12].…”
