Proposal for Evaluating a Connection Quality within Transport Networks

Abstract

Abstract. The paper deals with a proposal of the connection quality evaluation on a particular transport network within passenger transport. Currently, there is no relevant methodology for a comprehensive evaluation of timetables in general and no selected indicators for evaluating the connection quality on a transport network. The aim of the paper is to outline the way to evaluate the timetable in passenger transport in terms of connectivity and connection. From a passenger's perspective, it is necessary to evaluate the availability of opportunities to travel between selected locations on a railway network. The transport offer from the place A to the place B basically affects the transportation time, the number of transfers and the number of travel opportunities. This represents the starting point for designing a set of criteria in order to evaluate the overall connection quality.

Capacity of Main Railway Lines – Analysis of Methodologies for its Calculation

“…This argument is also proven by the formula in which we put into equality formula (5) and formula (8). Subsequently, we put formulas (6) and 7into a formula (8) and simplify the resulting formula (9) to (10). Special attention should be paid the the unit…”

“…Definition of the process (problem) represents the first step of creating the flowchart. Definition of the relevant tasks of the process: monitoring and understanding the accurate records of process represents next step [9][10][11]. Figure 2 shows the graphical representation of selecting the criteria for measuring the customer satisfaction [12].…”

Multi-criteria Evaluation of Railway Transport Using Evaluation Method

“…It is important that the criterion in the sum of the column reaches 100% -at the end of the selection of the carrier in the evaluated area, the sums of the products of the assigned weight and the given criterion in% and assigned points in values according to how they were defined are then taken into account. The carrier with the highest total number of points for all criteria is the most suitable for the evaluated area [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Proposal international transport chain during the transport of tires

“…In road transport, the carrier is guided by the terms of transportation and is limited only by the ban on traffic during public holidays and on weekends or by the provisions of the European agreement concerning the work of crews of vehicles engaged in international road transport. [3,5,9] Table 4 shows the information of three out of five carriers.…”

“…To ensure further sustainable development, it is essential to create all necessary conditions, including a reliable railway infrastructure, flexible Services in accordance with customer requirements and an optimized terminal network. [3] Road transport provides such Services, because of which "door-to-door" transportation is ensured almost anywhere in the world. Road transport is flexible, with minimal administrative delays associated with loading, and the driver throughout the transportation controls the cargo.…”
