Introduction This report examines air-to-surface access integrated ticketing in support of one of the Department for Transport’s (DfT) six policy objectives in the proposed new avia- tion strategy – “Helping the aviation industry work for its customers”. Integrated Ticketing is defined as the incorporation of one ticket that includes sur- face access to/from an airport and the airplane ticket itself using one transaction. Integrated ticketing may consider surface access journeys both to the origin airport and from the destination airport. We recognise that some of the methods of inte- grated ticketing might not be truly integrated (such as selling rail or coach tickets on board the flight), but such examples were included in the report to reflect that these exist and that the customer experience in purchasing is relatively seamless.

  • Die Hohe Kunst Des Fahrplans
    Themendienst Faktor X oder: Die hohe Kunst des Fahrplans Wie in nur 18 Monaten aus rund 65.000 Verkehrsanmeldungen von über 400 Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen Jahr für Jahr ein robuster Netzfahrplan entsteht (Frankfurt am Main, Dezember 2016) Letztlich interessiert den Reisenden doch nur eines: der Zug soll pünktlich am Bahnsteig vorfahren und ebenso im angegebenen Zeitfenster sein Fahrtziel erreichen. Gleiches gilt für den Endkunden im Güterverkehr, dem daran liegt, dass sein Transport rechtzeitig abgeholt oder bereitgestellt wird. Eigentlich ganz einfach – so scheint es… Damit der Bahnverkehr bundesweit konfliktfrei, in hoher Qualität und möglichst nahtlos ineinander greifend funktioniert, arbeiten hinter den Kulissen etwa 140 Konstrukteure im Netzfahrplan der DB Netz AG daran, dass auf dem rund 33.300 Kilometer langen Schienennetz für jeden der täglich 40.000 Personen- und Güterzüge ein passender, freier Abschnitt gefunden werden kann. Diese Aufgabe erinnert mitunter an die Quadratur des Kreises. So sollen etwa lange Wartezeiten vermieden und Fahrtzeiten möglichst kurz gehalten werden. Die Umsteigedauer hingegen ist ausreichend lang zu bemessen. Zudem muss der Fahrplan neue oder weiterentwickelte Infrastruktur, Forderungen des Gesetzgebers, Baumaßnahmen und Kapazitätsengpässe abbilden. Bei alledem soll er Taktverkehre und Anforderungen des Güterverkehrs integrieren und so robust sein, dass bei Verspätungen einzelner Züge nicht die gesamte Pünktlichkeit leidet. Um all diese Faktoren bis zum Fahrplanwechsel am Tag „X“ unter einen Hut zu bekommen, brauchen die Fahrplaner einen vergleichsweise langen Vorlauf. X-18: Eineinhalb Jahre vor dem Fahrplanwechsel wird die verfügbare Infrastruktur festgeschrieben. X-17: Bahnunternehmen werden über Planungsprämissen im neuen Fahrplanjahr informiert. Dazu zählen beispielsweise Baumaßnahmen. X-10: Diese Planungsprämissen werden bei Bedarf noch einmal angepasst.

  • Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments Lobyrev, Vitaly and Tikhomirov, Andrey and Tsukarev, Taras and Vinokurov, Evgeny Eurasian Development Bank, Institute of Economy and Transport Development 10 May 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/86705/ MPRA Paper No. 86705, posted 18 May 2018 16:33 UTC BELT AND ROAD TRANSPORT CORRIDORS: BARRIERS AND INVESTMENTS Authors: Vitaly Lobyrev; Andrey Tikhomirov (Institute of Economy and Transport Development); Taras Tsukarev, PhD (Econ); Evgeny Vinokurov, PhD (Econ) (EDB Centre for Integration Studies). This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.

  • Long Freight Trains in Poland, What Is the Problem of Its Usage?
    PRACE NAUKOWE POLITECHNIKI WARSZAWSKIEJ z. 111 Transport 2016 Krzysztof Lewandowski _"G#"G+@V"G @Y"*" LONG FREIGHT TRAINS IN POLAND, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM OF ITS USAGE? The manuscript delivered: April 2016 Abstract: The article presents an analysis of possibility of usage of long freight trains in Poland for connection with the modern Silk Railway to China. The desire to use freight trains with a length of more than 600 meters in Poland encounters several problems on the existing infrastructure. Limita- tions of usage are found here. Also, it presents possible ways for long freight trains. Keywords: long freight train, limitation, usage, Poland 1. INTRODUCTION The first step to create a new connection to China was made in 1990 just before collapsed the Soviet Union. In next year, 1991, many countries retrieved the independence. The idea of reviving east – west trade on the old Silk Road was raised by the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the USSR, Eduard Shevardnadze in September 1990 at the Vladivostok Interna- tional Conference.
