Vehicles have an impact on environmental pollution through emissions. Thus, they generate different carbon footprints, or emit different amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This article attempts to determine the effects of carbon dioxide on the distribution of the traffic stream in the selected part of the transport network. For the analysis the Warsaw-Krakow route was chosen. The movement between these two cities can be performed with different modes of transport. The distribution of the passenger streams was conducted for three variants of the three sub-criteria: minimum average costs, minimum marginal costs and the costs of environmental pollution. The unitary cost of carbon dioxide emission was determined using a CO2 Calculator. The selection of the variant of the passenger stream distribution was carried out using a multi-criteria evaluation method called MAJA.

“…On the other hand railway is considered generally as less harmful to the environment than other modes of land transport [7]. It also generates organic and inorganic pollution [15,17] utilizing oils and coolants, using petroleum, metal ores, fertilizers and other chemicals. According to [2] railway areas are considered to be place of heavy metals high emission.…”

“…The impact of rail transport on the environment is mostly from the noise and vibration (from locomotives), specific types of pollution, emission of dust, land consumption and partitioning natural environment. Harmful emission from railway transport in European Union is of the 1 to 3% of total emission [15], [20]. European Environment Agency reports that railway transport in EU is responsible for 1.2% of total emission of NO x and 0.13% of NMVOCs [6].…”

Transport is one of the most environmentally destructive branches of economy. It contributes to environmental degradation and influences negatively on human live. It should therefore seek to reduce the negative impact on the environment. The paper presents many aspects of development of the national transport system. In article characterized technical constraints and environmental issues, which are applicable to the designing of pro-ecological transport system. Presented in it also indicators of the proposed design solution quality.In shaping the pro-ecological system the special role plays environmental restrictions, because they mainly determine the quality of solutions in terms of minimizing the negative impact of transport on the environment. Technical factors are equally important, because they allow, among others, reducing the external costs of congestions and allow on the creation of transport tasks on the appropriate level. In particularly, EU requirements for sustainable development of the transport system, the components of the external costs arising from the sphere of transport, indicators and ecological limitations in designing of pro-ecological transport system, ecological limitations, technical limitations, indicators for assessing pro-ecological transport system are presented in the paper.

“…The single-criterion problems commonly base on fuel consumption minimization and the fuel cost itself. The authors discussing these problems are represented byFelipe et al (2014),Jacyna, Szczepański (2013),Juan et al (2014),Lewczuk et al (2013),Schneider et al (2014). Apart from the problems mentioned above the VRP with Time Windows (VRPTW) are considered as significant in goods distribution.…”

The paper describes proecological solution dedicated for organizing logistics services in urban areas. Proposed solution is based on cross-docking processes combined with consolidation centres. Authors proposed new method of estimating economic and social benefits from implementing centrally managed cooperation of logistics operators using common city consolidation hubs. Developed mathematical model bases on Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with vehicles of different types, limited loading capacities and multiply depots characterized by limited throughput. Proposed approach was supported by case study of integration of distribution processes in Warsaw (Poland) performed by three medium-size logistics operators. The central management of distribution was investigated in variants assuming using existing warehouses and with new configuration of logistics network developed with using SIMMAG 3D tools. As it was proved for analysed case, total costs of distribution in the city after implementation of centrally managed distribution were reduced by 8.1% for variant with current depots and by 26.5% for variant with new logistics network, while emission of carbon monoxide (CO) was reduced respectively by 7.8 and 16.7%.
