“…Lastly, in the social factor, previous researchers had pointed out that the implementation of rail transportation rather than road transportation to transport goods from the interface inland of the seaport could promote more effective port access and bring extensive social and environmental benefits (Roso, 2013; Hanaoka and Regmi, 2011; Henttu and Hilmola, 2011). Moreover, the increased usage of rail transportation reduces traffic congestion, resulting in lower demand for additional roadways, reducing public health problems related to noise as well as enhanced transportation safety and environmental effect (Dolinayova et al, 2016).…”

The Bukit Kayu Hitam Inland Port which situated at the northern border of peninsular Malaysia will be completed in 2022, and it is capable of handling an annual throughput of 200,000 containers, alongside warehouses and cross-dock facilities for cargo consolidation and container stuffing. However, the Bukit Kayu Hitam Inland Port will be complete in 2022, this means that the inland port is still in the process of development, so we cannot directly get the impact of the development of Bukit Kayu Hitam Inland Port. Therefore, we can collect data through the online questionnaires that contain both closed-ended and multiple-choice questions on the Kubang Pasu residents’ perception, which includes the environmental factor, economic factor, and social factor towards the development of Bukit Kayu Hitam Inland Port. Questionnaires are administered to respondents from Kubang Pasu residents by using a simple random sampling technique to ensure that every unit in the population has an equal chance of being selected. A total of 382 samples were distributed, but only 267 samples were received due to the COVID-19 pandemics. The data analysed using Pearson Correlation coefficients, Multiple Linear Regression, and Independent Samples t-tests. Overall, Cronbach's Alpha score was 0.819. As a result, the findings indicated that the environmental factor and social factor (p=0.000<0.05) can show a significant relationship with the perception of residents. Meanwhile, the economic factor (p=0.612>0.05) cannot show a significant result. Besides, there is no significant mean difference in the residents’ perception between gender (p=0.968>0.05) and there is no significant mean difference in the residents’ perception between the educational level of residents (p=0.602>0.05). Lastly, the outcomes of this study are expected to improve the development of the inland port in Bukit Kayu Hitam and let more Kubang Pasu residents know about Bukit Kayu Hitam Inland Port.

“…As a single track with no trackside security equipment, trains drive from one station to the next station. Between some stations there is an automatic block signal, which divides interstationary section into 2 block sections; it is situated mainly between stations which are in a large distance [8,9,10]. Another reason is that some of the railway stations have only 2 traffic rails to cross the trains, for example station Lehnice.…”

Abstract. At the end of 2010, RegioJet, a.s., succeeded in providing transport services on the Bratislava -Dunajská Streda -Komárno line and concluded a contract on transport services in the public interest with the Ministry of Transport and Construction of the Slovak Republic (MTC SR) in the operation of passenger transport on the Bratislava -Dunajská Streda -Komárno railway line. The new concept of regional rail transport on this major regional route has brought additional benefits for passengers -new and comfortable trains, more frequent connections and better passenger service. The goal of the contribution is to propose an optimal variation of train paths on a given track, with the possibility of modifying if conditions are improved, based on the current operating situation. It is also an effort to find, by analyzing the current timetable, places where critical points can be adjusted or removed, thus offering passengers better rail connections [1].

A Bibliometric Analysis of the Trends and Characteristics of Railway Research

et al. 2022

A retrospective bibliometric analysis of the railway sector covering the 20-year period between 2002 and 2021 was carried out to better understand the characteristics of the railway research. The Scopus database contained 1918 articles published with the keywords “Rail System”. VOSviewer software was used to create network maps from each of the variables studied. The results showed a huge increase in the number of publications over this period—notably, work written by Zhang, Y.T., who was found to be the most productive author. Engineering was found to be the most studied subject area of knowledge; Transportation Research Record was the journal with the highest number of publications; and China was revealed to be the leading country regarding this research field, Southwest Jiaotong University being the leading institution in this topic. Finally, there was a lack of research on the environmental impact and sustainability of railway systems, an area that could be opened up for future study.
