“…In some countries in Asia (China, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam), IWT plays an essential role in the economic development and welfare of people in rural areas; moreover, it can alleviate costs related to congestion, reduce accidents and noise and increase accessibility to global markets (Knapčíková and Kaščák, 2019;Vu 2011). Some authors, based on literature and statistics, recognize IWT as one of the safest means of transport due to its low number of fatalities or injuries (Koralova 2017;Rohács and Simongáti 2007).…”

Over the years, the demand for transportation has experienced a consistent rise, which has exacerbated a multitude of issues including environmental, visual, and noise pollution, congestion, land use conflicts, and various other related challenges. In this regard, the pursuit of alternatives aimed at mitigating these adverse effects stands as a priority for governments and policymakers. Consequently, inland waterway transport (IWT) emerges as an appealing solution, due to its advantages across the social, environmental, and economic considerations. However, in relation to IWT the concept of sustainable development is insufficiently investigated. The objective of this paper is to undertake a comprehensive review of how the concept of sustainable development is addressed and applied within the framework of IWT systems. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review was meticulously conducted, utilizing three academic databases (Scopus, Google Scholar, and EBSCO). The review process yielded a total of 51 papers that proved to be pertinent and relevant to the subject matter. The comprehensive literature review facilitated the delineation of the principal elements, factors, and characteristics of the IWT system, as well as the primary drivers for its sustainable development. However, the implications for further research were identified, such as a comprehensive examination of each case due to the distinct geographical, social, economic, and political conditions inherent to each individual basin. That is essential for understanding the unique barriers present within each context and for formulating viable solutions aimed at fostering and incentivizing the sustainable development of IWT systems.

“…International trade is currently growing significantly, and the volumes of goods being transported are increasing. The European Union has created an appropriate legal framework for the transport sector to facilitate the free movement of people and goods within the Union [1]. Any country has a strategic document establishing a model of actions with the view to achieve a global developmental goal.…”

The Current Status of East Slovakian Transhipment Points and the Possibilities of Their Further Development

The article discusses the possibilities of East Slovakian transhipment facilities, which, despite their relatively strategic location and the possibilities they provide, are far from being used as much as their capacities allow. Growing requirements for green transport and reducing the carbon footprint create space for increasing rail transport as the most ecological option; on the other hand, the long-standing problems experienced by East Slovakian transhipment points put them in a competitive disadvantageous position compared to other countries. The opening of the Silk Road provides opportunities that East Slovakian transhipment points do not use or use very little. Therefore, the article points out the weaknesses of East Slovak transhipment centres and looks for ways to improve the current situation, it also draws attention to the possibilities of East Slovakian transhipment centres, especially Čierna nad Tisou, and makes suggestions for rationalization. The findings of the article point to the fact that Eastern Slovakian transhipment facilities have a potential that needs to be further developed, which, however, will probably not be possible without state aid.

“…To ensure the quality and adequacy of the data on transport terminals' functioning, the advanced data management systems are being developed [2], data envelopment analysis is being implemented [3], and complex network data models are being constructed [4]. For the purposes of comparative analysis and evaluation of the multimodal terminals' sustainability level, surveys are held [5][6][7] and the Analytical Hierarchy Process method is used [8].…”

“…The problem of the emissions' reduction is usually being solved at the macro-level-by studying the emissions' parameters at the scale of a region or a supply chain [5][6][7]16,17], but can also be considered as the sub-problem at the micro-level: the emissions-decrease measures may be developed for the given hub.…”

“…However, the technological parameters representing the duration of operations are also used as the objective functions for solving the optimization problems in multimodal terminals [4,26,35]. Recently, the environmental-related costs are considered in a number of publications [6,7,17,36] as the criterion of the transport terminals' functioning.…”

Optimizing Resources of Multimodal Transport Terminal for Material Flow Service

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Multimodal transport terminals are the elements of transport systems that ensure the interaction of enterprises of various modes of transport. The effective functioning of transport terminals significantly affects the efficiency of the material flow servicing in a supply chain and the sustainability of the whole transport system. The paper proposes an approach to determine the optimal parameters of production resources in multimodal transport terminals, based on numerical computer simulations of technological operations in a transport terminal for the given parameters of incoming and outgoing material flows. The practical use of the proposed approach is shown on the example of the Amur Harbor cargo area of the Dnipro River Port.
