Item Efficient Transport System in Urban Environment(University of Zilina, 2013) Gogola, MarianMany cities are currently facing to problems with the functioning of their transport infrastructure resulting mainly from congestions and the increasing trend of individual car usage. The call for solving and proposing the efficient transport systems occurs due the fact of need to improve the mobility condition in the urban environment. Therefore, this paper deals with the topic of efficient transport system with accent to evaluation of single transport modes and their impact on the urban environment. The two parameters are proposed: the Capacity Index (CI) and the Vehicle Emission Pollutant Index (VEPI) that present how efficient the transport systems are in first case in the sense of transport infrastructure capacity, second in the sense of environmental issue.Item Evaluation of Effectiveness of Regional Airports in Central Europe by Data Envelope Analysis(University of Zilina, 2013) Stryčeková, Ivana; Tomová, AnnaIn the paper we evaluate economic efficiency of 20 regional airports in Central Europe (Bratislava capital airport including) within 2004 – 2010 using input oriented data envelope analysis (DEA) with constant return on scale to identify super efficiency score. The paper results contribute to airport economic benchmarking literature which is still insufficient just for airports of regional nature. Covering 12 economic inputs and outputs parameters our research revealed Bratislava airport as efficient all the period within the sample analyzed which may be subsequently used as a supportive argument when stating development strategy for Bratislava airport.Item Increasing the Safety of Railway Crossings(University of Zilina, 2013) Nedeliaková, Eva; Nedeliak, Ivan; Búda, MartinThis article is focused on improving safety at railway crossings and points of active and passive safety features. Following these general safety rules we can reduce or eliminate the risks that increasingly affect the right of railway crossings. The article describes redundant lock crossing time which unfavorably affects the rail crossing accidents and the solution which eliminates this factor. The paper is supported by the VEGA Agency by the Project 1/0188/13 ”Quality factors of integrated transport system in the effective provision of public transport services in the context of globalisation“ that is solved at the Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications, University of Žilina.Item SWOT analysis of the Slovak inland waterway transport(University of Zilina, 2013) Hricová, RomanaThe paper deals with SWOT analysis of Slovak rivers. Although Slovak Republic is situated in the Central Europe, waterways are relatively short and not branched. Inland waterway includes commercial, sporting and tourist navigations. Commercial navigation is limited by flow volume and length of floating period. For commercial navigation have Danube, Váh and Bodrog the best conditions. All three navigable rivers do not allow maximum stable immergence use of actual vessels during the whole year. Navigable conditions (curve radiuses, fairway width, navigable depth, flow rate, flowage) are changeable during the year.Item Transport and Communications - celé číslo 2/2013(University of Zilina, 2013)
