“…Increasing the share of rail transport in transport chains [147][148][149] (intermodal transport; consultations in Poland are currently underway on the program "Directions of development of intermodal transport until 2030 with a perspective until 2040" [150]-its purpose is to identify the directions of development of transport and financing needs from the perspective of 2021-2027).…”

Convergence of Energy Intensity of the Export of Goods by Rail Transport: Linkages with the Spatial Integration and Economic Condition of Countries

et al. 2023

This article concerns the identification of connections between the energy intensity of rail transport and spatial integration (convergence processes in the EU and spatial proximity) and the economic situation of countries that are in international export–import trade relations. Three research questions are formulated in the article: (1) Does the improvement of the economic situation of the importing country reduce the energy intensity of the Polish export of goods by rail transport to the partner country? (2) Does EU integration contribute to reducing the energy intensity of the export of goods by rail transport? (3) Is there a positive spatial effect (convergence) of reducing the energy intensity of the export of goods by rail transport? This study concerned 14 geographical destinations (export destinations from Poland) during the years 2010–2020. A comprehensive study of convergence was used by building a spatial (club) and type β convergence model and using an unconventional method (panel stationarity analysis). It has been verified that there is a convergence in the energy intensity of goods exportation by rail transport in EU countries. The rate of spatial (club) convergence is 8.66% per year, while the period after which this convergence will be halfway between the initial state and the long-term equilibrium point is 8 years.

“…Trains are one of the transportation that plays an important role in the socio-economy of an area [3]. According to [4], railway transportation is an alternative to land transportation that has an important role in the logistics supply chain. The railway transportation system is able to transport passengers and goods in large quantities so that it is more efficient when compared to other land transportation [5].…”

This paper aims to identify and summarise available literature on railway infrastructure e-maintenance system as a report of the state of the art of research in railway infrastructure e-maintenance system by systematically classifying the published literatures in the period of 2000-2023. The author identify the aspects and elements which influence the railway infrastructure e-maintenance system as well as various approaches to optimize the railway infrastructure e-maintenance system. This paper identify the current research gaps in order to conduct the future prospect of the research. As results, it is observed that based on the study of the published literatures, the implementation of e-maintenance in railway infrastructure sector mostly focus on the use of the information and communication technology (ICT) itself and there is no proper integration between the managerial aspects (i.e. regulation, work breakdown structure, risk, and safety) with information and communication technology (ICT) to optimize the e-maintenance system.

“…One notable incident occurred on October 4, 2022, when the Babaranjang train, transporting coal from Tanjung Enim to Tarahan, Lampung, derailed, causing eight out of 60 carriages to leave the track (Prasidi & Rifni, 2020;Setiawan, 2022). The construction of railways for the transportation of goods, particularly for the production and distribution of loads, is a critical endeavor (Gholamizadeh et al, 2022).…”

Objective: The research aims to uncover the causes of train accidents in Indonesia beyond those identified by experts and proposes solutions for inclusion in the regulations and standard operating procedures of the Indonesian Railways Company. Theoretical Framework: The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), operating under the UN Economic and Social Council since its establishment in 1947, has introduced the Industry 4.0 concept, titled 'Increasing the Competitiveness of Transportation between Europe and Asia: European Union Rail R&I. This concept incorporates three crucial indicators known as ACT (Aging, Climate Change, and Technology), aligned with the Railway Sustainable Development Goals. Method: This research employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through in-depth interviews using purposive sampling. Interview reviews are presented in the results section. The study involved 28 participants, focusing on the cities of Palembang and Lampung, situated on the tip of the island of Sumatra, bordering the island of Java. Results and Conclusions: The study identified seven themes for inclusion: The development of Railways in Indonesia; Organizational strengths and weaknesses; Human resources; Infrastructure; Operational aspects; Causal factors in train accidents, and Future solutions and contributions to regulation. These were then simplified into three themes following UNECE guidelines. Notably, the main issues with freight trains, primarily used for coal transportation, include an inadequate number of carriages, damage to rails and train sleepers, and excessive cargo loads, leading to frequent train derailments and accidents. The law regulates general provisions for rail freight transportation, but violations are common, and sanctions are minimal due to the state-owned nature of the managing company. Research Implications: This study suggests measures to enhance regulations and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the Indonesian Railways Company, including adapting regulations and SOPs to improve the operational safety of goods trains. This involves modernizing signaling systems and addressing human errors, particularly during night shifts. Recommendations also cover optimizing single-path and double-path routes, proposing regulations for the adaptation of automatic control systems, and improving the Grade of Automation (GOA). Ensuring the safety of personnel, especially operators and machinists, is emphasized. Originality/Value: This research explores the paradigm shift within Indonesia Railways, transitioning from GOA 0 to GOA 1. Anticipated to significantly impact the safety of goods (coal) trains, this study offers profound insight into the evolution of transportation governance for freight transport by rail. Both the government and Indonesia Railways can consider integrating these findings into regulations or SOPs, despite facing challenges such as funding constraints and the high cost associated with upgrading to GOA 2 infrastructure.
