Abstract Planning the extent of transport services within a selected territory is a topical issue especially in the context of developing integrated transport systems. The objective of this research study is to design a sustainable system of public passenger transport that would be an alternative to expanding individual transport. The implementation of a quality and efficient transport service is a relatively complex process, since, currently, there are no generally applicable principles for its design. This manuscript presents general results of research aimed at solving the problem of transport service within a selected territory issue with a focus on rail transport as an efficient transport system representing a backbone of a transport system. The subject of the investigation is to compile a set of factors affecting the design of the transport concept. The output of the manuscript consists in a proposal of a generally applicable procedure including a calculation of transport potential and characteristics of the inputs. Subsequently, based on the resulting values, it will be possible to determine the extent of the transport services provided by rail transport in any territory, which will contribute to a more efficient and high quality theoretical graph of train running.

Topicality. The shipping policy macroeconomic level takes the central place in the management system of merchant shipping and investment activity according to the development efficiency criteria. The economy is characterized by the building-up of integration processes at the current stage. Increasing production internationalization and globalization leads to the internationalization and globalization of transport and logistics systems and distribution networks. These processes activate the intensity and increase the international freight traffic volume. At the same time, globalization has dramatically changed the volume and model of freight traffic and increased the requirements for both international and local transport systems. Aim and tasks. The central task of the investigations is the choice of a criteria-based assessment system of economic and investment decisions. The study is aimed at clarifying the regularities of the merchant shipping individual segments functioning and at developing recommendations for solving urgent current and future projects for the national shipping potential development. Research results. The transport system efficiency is the economy development important factor. The main transport potential feature is the need of high level of regulation by country. This is due to the fact that: the development of transit potential is a capital-intensive process, and requires long-term investments; it has the monopolistic nature of the elements of the transport system; it needs for a special functional and legal regime of work; it is the reason of environmental problems because of increasing volumes and traffic intensity; it is especially important for national security. Macroeconomic goals to ensure the export transport services development, to use transit potential more efficiently, to increase the consumer transport competitiveness on the transport services international market could be actualized by the integration technology strategy implementation. Conclusion. The implementation of transport potential according to the integration criteria is an important factor of the modern economic development of the country, as, first of all, it is growth of employment, business activity, investments and tax revenues, on the other hand, it assists in integrating the Ukrainian economy into the European and world economic systems. The making economic decisions theory in the maritime transport system in the shipping market globalization context should be taken into account during the urgent economic problems solution.

Digital transformations in various sectors of the national economy of many countries lead to an increase in demand for not only information, but also innovative technologies in general. Those current trends are fully manifested in largescale technological changes in the field of transport.At the same time, the contents of tasks reflecting the trend for innovation, the priority of their formulation, as well as implementation mechanisms are determined in the context of socio-economic systems and development strategies of each state, taking into account its geopolitical position, participation in regional associations and organizations, many other factors affecting the nature of decisions made, formation of the strategic management of the innovative development of transport systems.In Russia, the current public policy in the field of transport is focused on realizing the transit potential, improving the efficiency of transport services, and the level of economic connectivity of the territory through modernization and expansion of transport infrastructure. The solution of such problems, including, inter alia, increasing efficiency and safety of transport, requires introduction of fundamentally new technological solutions using the latest achievements of world science and technology.The objective of the article is to propose a conceptual approach to inclusion of magnetic levitation in the set of technologies that contribute to strategic development of the transportation system in Russia.In the context of an actively developing digital economy, the launch of a qualitatively new product on the domestic market, which is magnetic levitation transport systems (MLTS), will be a breakthrough solution in development of the country’s transport system, taking into account a number of key tasks it solves.

Background: In a world where every municipality is pursuing the goals of more sustainable mobility, bicycles play a fundamental role in getting rid of private cars and travelling by an eco-friendly mode of transport. Additionally, private and shared bikes can be used as a feeder transit system, solving the problem of the first- and last-mile trips. Thanks to GIS (Geographic Information System) software, it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of such a sustainable means of transport in future users’ modal choice. Methods: Running an accessibility analysis of cycling and rail transport services, the potential mobility demand attracted by these services and the possible multimodality between bicycle and rail transport systems can be assessed. Moreover, thanks to a modal choice model calibrated for high school students, it could be verified if students will be really motivated to adopt this solution for their home-to-school trips. Results: The GIS-based analysis showed that almost half of the active population in the study area might potentially abandon the use of their private car in favour of a bike and its combination with public transport systems; furthermore, the percentage of the students of one high school of Palermo, the Einstein High School, sharply increases from 1.5% up to 10.1%, thanks also to the combination with the rail transport service. Conclusions: The GIS-based methodology shows that multimodal transport can be an effective way to pursue a more sustainable mobility in cities and efficiently connect suburbs with low-frequent public transport services to the main public transport nodes.

Demand responsive transport systems such as paratransit could deliver services that collective transport simply cannot provide. Location-based services may be capable of bridging the divide between transport services without fixed routes, stops or schedules and their potential users. This chapter outlines how the integration of demand responsive transport and location-based services may help to deliver a flexible transport system that is sensitive to the needs of individual users in urban and rural areas. Such a system would have the potential to liberate urbanism from the need to orient spatial development on rigid transit lines.

The contemporary literature of the subject lacks explicit determination of the role performed in rail transport systems by certain major components and assemblies used in rail transportation. One typically perceives the technical solutions applied in railway engineering as an entire body of solutions or as a subsystem, without properly emphasising the impact of defects on the operating efficiency of the rail transport system and without the due regard to safety in this domain of transport. The switch point mechanism/switch point assembly is an important component of a rail transport system. This article is an attempt to identify the role and importance of this assembly in a rail transport system.

The Russian Federation is located at the crossroads of the trade routes of the Eurasian continent, where a significant volume of the transport flow of the world’s trade is formed. The transport potential of the territory of Russia, when implemented as an Integral Transit Transport System (ITTS), is comparable to the benefits from the traditional export of hydrocarbons and other raw materials. Analyzing the efficiency of transport systems, the key is the energy approach. The concept of ITTS is considered, based on all known and being developed transport lines, including high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation transport (VMLT). The fundamental problems are discussed being on the way to achieving the maximal speed, energy efficiency and throughput of VMLT. The preliminary findings are presented obtained from experiments on the test model of the VMLT route. It is concluded that there is a need for a deeper study of the properties of magnetic and superconducting materials in extreme high fields, power and speed regimes to search for fundamentally new technical solutions for the creation of VMLT

Despite the rapid growth of low-cost airlines in the U.S. and Europe, yet little is known about the feasibility of such services in developing and less developed countries. In such a region, hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate passengers’ preferences and willingness to accept low-cost air transport services. Accordingly, a choice experiment was applied to examine passenger choices associated with a bundle of service attributes applicable to low-cost air transport service. Results of multinomial logit models defined fare, frequent flyer program, food and beverage services, ground services, flexibility, frequency and punctuality as determining factors affecting passengers’ air transport choice in Iran. Results further demonstrated that passengers’ preferences and their willingness to accept low-cost air transport service are associated with their socio-economic characteristics and travel behavior. This study contributes to the relative body of knowledge through offering willingness to accept calculation as a strategic tool to assess the feasibility of low-cost air transport provision in a region where such services are yet scarce.
