Nowadays, a major safety challenge in rail transport is to manage the incidents and emergencies most efficient possible way. The current contingency plans tend be based on static procedures not taking into account how real-time conditions affect them. Consequently, decision-making process may well suffer delays possibility of occurrence for human mistakes could raise since required measures are...

The development of transport infrastructure is associated with risks, expressed in the likelihood harm to road users’ health during accidents and their consequences. risk management process aimed at reducing influence factors that contribute occurrence an accident increase consequences’ severity after it. This article proposes a methodology within five stages: identification, analysis evaluatio...

This paper shows a scheme of urban transport management aimed at solving the externalities due to road trac. In this scheme both private and public transport modes are managed by a planning authority having control of some decision variables: road pricing, transit ticket prices, and the service characteristics of transit. The multimodal transport system is subject to some constraints: physical...

Any use of energy in industrial productive activities is combined with various environment impacts. Withintransportation, this fact was not only found among land transport, railways and maritime transport, but also in the air transport industry. An effective climate protection requires strategies and measures for reducing all greenhouses gas emissions, in particular carbon dioxide, and must tak...

A large number of passenger information systems for public passenger transport exist in Europe at national level but their trans-national interoperability is very limited. A passenger information system depends on many underlying heterogeneous information systems; ranging from management of transport infrastructure network, public transport infrastructure objects, public passenger transport ser...
