Overall railway infrastructure effectiveness as a quality factor for Serbia railways

Following the liberalisation of the railway infrastructure, the non-discriminatory approach to each railway undertaking is necessary, including the issue of the train paths provision in terms of the railway infrastructure capacity. Expression and provision of the throughput capacity of the railway network by absolute number of train paths appear to be inadequate and inaccurate at first glance. There are many ways of calculating the capacity of rail infrastructure, as well as several ways of expressing it. The paper describes the testing of the railway infrastructure capacity in a computer based simulation model, which provides results for further research in the area of this issue. Two hypotheses oriented towards the research on the linear dependence of capacity on the number of train paths as well as towards the need for capacity estimation for a whole track or for only one block section are tested.

“…Therefore, an assessment of possible air and noise pollution along the Belgrade to Novi Sad Railway Corridor is indispensable for the successful implementation of appropriate countermeasures. Construction and operation of railways can also lead to alterations in water resource dynamics due to changes in hydrological patterns, an increase in stormwater runoff, and the risk of contamination (Nikolić et al, 2016). Manipulations of natural drainage systems can elevate surface runoff and soil erosion, transporting pollutants into proximate water bodies and impairing water quality and aquatic ecosystems (Table 1).…”

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of environmental susceptibility associated with the development of the Belgrade-Novi Sad Railway Route in Serbia. Fostering socio-economic growth through transportation infrastructure necessitates an acute awareness of potential ecological implications, a nexus often overlooked in the haste of progress. Accordingly, a broad spectrum of environmental parameters such as land use, air and noise pollution, water resources, and biodiversity were systematically assessed. The employment of Habitat Equivalency Analysis facilitated the discernment of potential environmental detriments linked with the railway project. Significant findings from this investigation offer critical insights for policymakers, urban planners, and environmental conservationists, thus enriching the understanding of ecological consequences attached to the expansion of the specified railway corridor. These findings, serving as a tool for informed decision-making, are pivotal in striving towards a balanced approach between the exigencies of transportation infrastructure enhancement and the indispensable goal of environmental preservation. Ultimately, the goal of this study is to promote an enhanced understanding of the reciprocal relationship between infrastructure development and environmental impact, thereby contributing to the ongoing discourse on sustainable practices beneficial for current and future generations.
