The article deals with a specific research study discussing the possibility to revitalize a specific non-functional intermodal transport terminal. The structure of the manuscript consists of five sections. The first part is focused on the analysis of the subject being investigated in important scientific publications. The second part of the article presents a brief analysis of the current situation concerning intermodal transport in the Czech Republic and emphasizes the need to build an intermodal transport terminal in the South Bohemia region. The third section describes the contemporary state of the Nemanice transshipment station, provides a calculation of the terminal transport potential, which is thereafter used in the next paper section in order to design individual terminal elements. The objective of this study is to propose an approach methodology regarding the terminal connection to railway and road infrastructure, necessary quantification of the transport potential, which subsequently defines the operational need for handling equipment, and other parameters of the terminal fundamental elements. This methodological guideline is based on variant recommendations to equip the terminal with various handling devices, which are then evaluated, applying the exact decision making methods. Such an evaluation is included in the fourth part of the article. Here, the authors try to find out which terminal equipment is the most appropriate in terms of overall terminal efficiency. The last part of the manuscript is devoted to the final discussion of the key findings and conclusion containing an insight into potential future projects or studies to be addressed.

“…There would also emerge a space on the siding for shunting more wagons intended for unloading. Through the implementation of this measure the empty wagons would not stay on the siding for a useless long time and they would not take the area needed for shunting of other wagons [6].…”

Optimisation of Transport Capacity of a Railway Siding Through Construction-Reconstruction Measures

AbstractRailway sidings in the Slovak Republic, despite their reduction, still do not lose their importance. In railway transport, a significant part of the realised performances is represented by transport on railway sidings and there is therefore a need to continuously develop and adapt the siding operation to the requirements of the transport market. The reason for the decrease of their number is nowadays mainly the financial demands on the construction of the new siding and its operation. In view of this fact, there are sidings in several companies in the Slovak Republic where the transport performances do not decrease and the performances realised on their railway siding are considered as dominant and economically advantageous. The aim of this paper is based on the analysis of the current state of the siding operation in the selected company in order to solve the problem with insufficient capacity of the siding due to the increase in the volume of processed materials. The problem with the capacity of the analysed siding will be solved through construction-reconstruction measures - namely by construction of a new handling track. This option is a solution to the problem of an insufficient capacity of the siding, which affects the current transport performances and costs of railway wagons staying at stations, too. The proposed measures to support the increase of a siding capacity will be economically evaluated and the pay-back period of these solutions will be assessed.

“…Modal split between transport subsectors was researched by [1], as well as [2,3], whose investigations concern the comparative analysis of subsectors. In Europe [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] investigated this topic. Albert and Tóth [12] researched this topic in a more detailed manner, arriving at an index number that is similar but based on a different approach, while [13] researched the topic from the management's point of view.…”

Ongoing competition between bus and railway systems in European (especially in the middle, south and east part) regional passenger transport is a current problem. Long term sustainability and efficiency in passenger transport requires a balanced transport policy. These subsectors need to be complement each other, not compete. The parallel bus and railway links can result in a competition. This research explores solutions to this issue for long term environmental and economic sustainability optimization. Some of the important factors include the number of inhabitants to be served, public transport availability, and efficiency in time of travel for vehicles and passengers. To ensure long term sustainability of the presented methodology, the effect of interventions was analyzed. The study compares Finland and Hungary in terms of the competition regional railway and bus links.
