Inland Water Transport

Sustainability of transport systems is a key issue in transport. The main question is whether high levels of road and railway transport in areas along navigable waterways is an effective solution for this issue. The Danube waterway is an example. Generally, it is not observed that traffic performance is not as high as on the Rhine. This paper deals with the revelation of the available capacity of this waterway based on approximation functions and their comparison with real transport performances. This methodology points to the level of use of waterways. The connection of this model with the production of fossil fuels creates a basis for a case study. The case study in this paper offers a possibility for a sustainable and environmentally friendly transition from road transport to inland water transport on the example of specific transport routes. The main contribution of this paper is a presentation of the application of sustainable models of use transport capacity to increase the share of environmentally friendly and sustainable inland water transport. The conclusion based on the case study and materials is that the available capacity of inland water transport on the Danube could support the transition of traffic performances to sustainable and environmentally friendly means of transport.

The paper deals with the importance of regional airport for economic development of the particular region with the possibility to cover also freight transport. In technical terms it is called the logistics centre or Freight Village. The special emphasis is given to the Pardubice airport and to creation of logistics centre on the Elbe river. The logistics centre would link four types of transport – railway, road, air and inland water transport. Terminal of the combined transport, which lacks in long term in the region, is also a part of the logistics centre.

Inland Water Transport

The article discusses communication facilities for transmitting corrections and ephemeris data, analyzes methods of calculating errors of satellite position finding, and gives results of field tests for determining accuracy of the location for Real Time Kinematic and Precise Point Positioning modes. There has been carried out a survey of the existing functioning differential satellite subsystems, satellite differential correction and monitoring systems. The methods of differential coordinate correction currently used on the inland water transport provide accuracy within 1-5 meters. As in the unmanned mode the given accuracy is not sufficient, there appears the need to develop methods for calculating location finding with centimeter precision. Precise positioning relative to the axis of the ship's course will make it possible to control the vessel in the unmanned mode, as well as to use robotic facilities on water transport capable of making safe voyages on a set of waypoints tied to geographical coordinates.
