“…A control point is determined for each factor, and so it is possible to compare the current state to its standard with the prescribed value. Within the railway undertaking interface, this is a percentage assessment using the change index over the previous period [10]. Finally, it is important to remove the root cause of the resource in order to resolve the problem and prevent its recurrence in the future.…”

Abstract. Customer satisfaction with the provided transport services is closely related to the ability of management to respond flexibly to process changes and maintain the required quality. QRQC is also considered as a method for troubleshooting and it can be applicable in many different areas along rail transport. The innovative qualitative approach QRQC highlights the principle of thorough analysis of the causes of problems. After a problem situation occurs in a traffic operation, it is necessary to proceed according to the specified sequence in order to reduce the undesirable influence in the shortest possible time. The article deals with the possibility of applying this method to rail transport processes.

“…Great emphasis is placed on the quality and high level of services provided, so the application of optimisation in logistics processes is a necessity. City logistics is a process of optimising logistics and transport activities, in which private companies participate with the support of advanced information systems in the city concerning the transport environment and its impact on congestion, security, and energy savings [1].…”

City Logistics as an Imperative Smart City Mechanism: Scrutiny of Clustered EU27 Capitals

In large urban agglomerations, various logistical problems arise due to high population density and deficient transport infrastructure. City logistics involves the efficient distribution of freight transport in urban areas and approaches to mitigate environmental impacts and traffic congestion. This paper aims to use a two-step cluster analytic approach to segmentation of EU27 capital cities based on their city logistics performance. To obtain primary outcomes, the log-likelihood measure in SPSS Statistics was used. The results can be used to identify the development and implementation of logistics measures in capitals across the EU. In addition to clustering, the statistical analysis evaluates the position of investigated cities concerning traffic congestions, and from an environmental point of view, the carbon dioxide produced from transport. The scrutiny delivers practical outlooks on how clustering can be undertaken and proves how the clusters can be used to plan city logistics and supply chain management. Finally, the paper deals with smart city indices from the perspective of sustainable mobility and examines its correlation with city logistics.

“…The use of net present value (NFC) technology and smartphones in toll collection has been proposed in recent years but there is a need for further research before it is implemented [9,10]. Smart applications are proved to have multiple economic and ecological side effects in urban and rural areas [11][12][13][14], not only in road transport but also in other modes of transport such as rail [15,16].…”

Assessing the Environmental and Economic Footprint of Electronic Toll Collection Lanes: A Simulation Study

Electronic toll collection (ETC) plays, as part of transport demand management (TDM) measures, an important role in preventing traffic congestion and improving the environmental conditions in urban and rural areas. An attempt is made in the framework of this paper to evaluate the overall performance of a toll station when a lane is dedicated to ETC. The case study refers to a toll station in the Thessaloniki Metropolitan Area, Greece. Scenarios considered specific traffic characteristics, variable toll booth setups, and different penetration rates of the ETC tag users for car and heavy vehicles. The tool used in the evaluation process was the PTV Vissim traffic simulation software. The operation of the toll station during a specific peak-hour period was simulated with the aid of the specific software. In total, 39 alternative scenarios were developed and compared to determine the level of penetration rate for which the ETC lane would be effective for different toll booth setups. Results showed that when the right lane of the toll station is converted to ETC lane, the penetration rate of this lane must be greater the 15% for the private vehicles and 20% for the heavy goods vehicles (HGV) to reduce traffic congestion and to improve environmental conditions. It was also found that when an additional ETC lane was introduced to the existing toll station set up, traffic congestion and the associated environmental conditions were much improved even for low penetration rates. It must be noticed that the results from the use of discounted cash flow methods like internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV) and benefit–cost ratio (BCR) showed that all economic indicators converge as penetration rate increases in all toll booth setups. Therefore, there is a specific penetration rate threshold above which the economic viability of the investment is secured. These findings can assist the design of an effective policy in terms of the optimized operation of a toll station and sustainable mobility planning.
