A decision-making support system for low-density traffic railway lines management
Pieriegud, Jana
2010 - anglický
In recent years, the issue of closing down or revitalisation of low-density traffic railway lines in Poland has become increasingly important. These decisions are usually taken without undertaking precise analysis, due to the difficulties inherent in cost calculation. Furthermore a distinguishing feature of this category of lines is that budget limitations and low profits are more critical factors than travel time and traffic frequency. The paper outlines the main assumptions for the establishment of a software-based system that will support the decision-making processes concerning the revitali-zation of existing low-density lines, its
maintenance and operation management. The system, which can be useful for infrastructure managers,
railway operators as well as local authorities, is currently being developed within the R&D project
undertaken in Poland in 2008.

Models of weather and transit demand in public city transit in Pardubice
Pojkarová, Kateřina
2010 - anglický
Demand in public transit is influenced by wide range of factors, weather is one of them. Citizens
of Pardubice make a lot of journeys every day. They can walk, ride their bicycle, motorbike or car, or they
can use public transit. Weather is important for their decision-making about their mode of transportation, because when it is frosty, windy or rainy some cyclists leave their bicycle home and prefer cover vehicles, as well as people, who in sunny days prefer walking. This paper researches the relationship between demand for public transit in Pardubice and weather and it
will show the correlation between variables.

Railway safety management system
Popov, Pavel
2010 - anglický
The article is devoted to the analysis of railway safety management system. It is clear that advanced railway safety management system is of great importance for a country. The fact is understandable as well as for the global community due to rail transport is a part of the logistics chain, which facilitates international trade and economic growth. In the article the author also examines the key components of safety management system and the requirements to it. Safety is regarded by the author of the article as a prime consideration in the successful performance of duties of railway managers. Management is specifically responsible for the development
and implementation of safe practices and procedures. It is pointed out that the objectives of the safety management system regulations are to ensure that safety is given management time and corporate resources and that it is subject to performance measurement and monitoring on par with corporate financial and production goals.
The author of the article stresses that it is important to railway safety management system that
company policy should sustain continuing programs designed to promote the health and safety of all
employees and to co-operate with organizations and associations devoted to safety research and education. Russia has 85,000km of railways, making it the second largest network in the world after the US. Rail dominates the freight transport network accounting for 42.7% of total turnover, according to the Federal State Statistics Service, and around 85% of total turnover, if pipeline traffic is not included. Rail has a competitive advantage due to the large distances between different production centers in Russia. The road network is currently insufficient in terms of coverage and quality of the roads, while the waterways freeze during Russia’s long winter. The major cargo types carried by rail are coal (23%
of the total) followed by oil products, (18%) and construction materials, (15%). That’s way railway safety management system is very important to RZD as to a railway company of any other country.

Urban mobility, demographical changes and accessibility and transport for elderly
Schmeidler, Karel
2010 - anglický
There are two dilemmas with the increased mobility Europe has witnessed over the last century.
On the one hand, mobility has become an essential condition for social emancipation and economic
development. Whilst on the other hand, the social differentiation of access to new transport technologies is serving to fragment and splinter social cohesion. This dichotomy presents a challenge since “personal mobility is key to independence”. Accessibility to the spatial opportunities in the built urban and rural environments is a hurdle for people with reduced mobility, such as disabled people, elderly people, families with young children, and the young children themselves. Society is changing, is getting older, and is more open to transnational
mobility patterns, including the growth of tourism and in-migration. Society is expecting more flexible mobility solutions, which need to be affordable also for people with low incomes.

Cost effectiveness of wayside derailment detection
Schöbel, Andreas; Maly, Thomas
2010 - anglický
Wayside train monitoring systems are an important issue of modern railway operation due to the fact that more and more stations will become remote controlled by an operation centre. Therefore
the task of monitoring fault states on moving vehicles has to be overtaken by autonomous sensor systems. Based upon the background of liberalized railway market it cannot be guaranteed that every vehicle is equipped with necessary sensors for fault state monitoring when passing the network
of an infrastructure manager. Therefore each infrastructure manager has to install wayside equipment to check passing vehicles for fault states occurrences. The worst case scenario of not recognized fault states in time is a derailment. If preventing monitoring systems are not able to detect derailment indications in an early stage, the derailment itself must be identified by dedicated devices e.g. wayside derailment detectors. For safety related usage in a whole railway network the number of necessary wayside installations has to be identified in context to financial feasibility. To solve these questions
a methodology was developed at Vienna University of Technology to estimate the potential costs
and benefits under consideration of operational boundary conditions. Costs are directly related
to the number of implemented derailment detectors, whereas benefit can be argued by reduced length
of destroyed superstructure in case of a derailment. The braking behavior of different trains and the points on a line are the boundary conditions for practical implementation of this approach.

Negative and positive effects of transport on environment
Švadlenka, Libor
2010 - anglický
The paper deals with negative and positive effects of transport on environment. The society,
as a bearer of costs on environment protection does not represents homogenous unit. In term of transport
costs allocation the society can be split on society sphere (environment protection costs especially bear public service organisations and civil service authorities) and on individual sphere (majority of costs on environment protection bear in essence individuals). Finally the paper deals with the trends of transport
in relation to environment including the problem of financing the external costs of transport.
The article is published within the solution of research proposal VZ-MSM 0021627505

Railway parts fatigue behaviour under influence of the inner imperfections
Švanda, Pavel; Schmidová, Eva
2010 - anglický
Contribution is devoted to the study of cracking of cast railway frog. In contribution are summarized of findings that were found during investigation of source of cracking. Material properties were investigated by mechanical properties of materials. Fracture area was study by macro and microstructure (fractography) and microstructure and structure defects of bulk material was study by optic and SEM microscopy. Initialization of crack was found in synergic incidence of initial heat cracks and stress concentration in sizable change of cross-section of cast. Main source of failure was found in technology of heat treatment of cast and/or not very proper design of cast.
