This paper presents a methodology developed to evaluate the modal split of land transport of general cargo in Brazil and possible reasons for the prevalence of road transport over rail, using a market share model. No studies were found using the market share model for planning cargo transport, in spite of its generic nature which makes it readily a...
Adhesion level control is very necessary to avoid slippage of rail wheelset and track from derailment for smoothing running of rail vehicle. In this paper the proper dynamics of wheelset for velocities acting in three dimensions of wheelset and rail track has been discussed along with creep forces on each wheel in longitudinal, lateral and spin dir...
Although it is widely reported that rail transit has the potential to encourage higher density development, it remains unclear whether rail transit leads to more mixed urban development across station areas. This article provides rare quantitative analysis of changes in land use mix around the rail transit system in Tianjin, China through an invest...

... The matrix of a criteria comparison was made by transport expert's recommendations. The relevant external projects (Macura et al. 2012a(Macura et al. , 2012b can be international or domestic, infrastructure, ecological or social projects, etc. These projects are of great importance in transport project evaluation, since the transport networks are very dependent on their surroundings (including, not only the transport system in the considered country, but also in neighboring countries). ...
Strategic decisions, such as transport investments, depend on a number of factors of different relevance that are often changeable over time. Evaluation of transport projects is a complex and difficult task, but also crucial for a company's success in the market. We assume that certain relations of the system elements are functions of time, and thus we apply a dynamic approach – dynamic priorities in multi-criteria decision making. The topic of this paper is time dependent multi-criteria decision making in a transport projects evaluation. The model is tested on real data from the Serbian railway network.
... Multicriteria analysis overcomes all shortcomings of the CBA. Macura et al. (2012) developed a model for rail infrastructure selection. The main characteristics of the model are consideration of the exterior projects' impacts and defining the group of projects for investment. ...
The rapid development of civilization, population growth and constant increase in the resource consumption level had an effect on changes in methodologies and procedures for approaching the problem in many areas including the traffic engineering.The model of the transport projects selection is presented in this paper. The case study was the street reconstruction into pedestrian area in one city in the south-eastern Balkans. Authors wanted to compare results obtained by the Transportation Master Plan and multicriteria decision making method. The first analyse was based on the traffic parameters, but alternatives cannot be ranked clearly. The inclusion of more criteria, such as environmental parameters, costs, benefits and exterior projects influences, would require the application of some multicriteria decision making method.Authors researched whether the ANP (Analytic Network Process) as a multicriteria decision making approach may represent assistance in making a correct decision related to selection of transport infrastructure project. In this case study developed method favours alternative which provides the best result in terms of effectiveness.Results obtained by the conventional method were not enough to define final alternative rank. As a support, the ANP approach is suitable for the consideration of all aspects of transport projects’ effectiveness.
Nowadays the main transport project in Montenegro is Bar-Boljare motorway, the new infrastructure project. The 170km new motorway will connect Serbia to the north of Montenegro, and further south to the Adriatic Coast, and with the Port of Bar, as a major port in the Adriatic. This motorway will be part of Bar-Belgrade-Budapest European Corridor, linking Montenegro to Central Europe, and presenting the transport project with very high national and regional priority. After the main sections of the motorway have been defined the Montenegrin government should make final investment plans for realization in the future. The authors developed the multicriteria model using the Analytic Network Process – ANP, as a solution for analysing and ranking 5 sections of the Bar-Boljare motorway. The network structure of the problem leads to the application of the ANP.
