Abstract
The excessive increase in transport intensity is one of the negative impacts on the economy. The costs borne due to transport activities are indirectly expressed by the volume of carriages (in tons) and by the scope of transport activity (in ton-kilometers). The result of social and economic activities are global product values and national incomes. This article shows the research on transport activity expressed through transport activity (in ton-kilometers) for all means of transport in total, the results of social and economic activities expressed using the gross domestic product, as well as shaping transport intensity of national economies in selected European countries. The analysis of the course of the exponential function curves, as well as polynomial curves has been carried out, and conclusions have been formulated on their bases.
Highlights
The importance of the transport sector in the world economy has been repeatedly discussed in the works of M
Transport intensity of the national economy can be formulated as the ratio of inputs on transport activities to the effects achieved in the areas of social and economic activity supported by the transport
Rationalization of production activities; change in the structure of the economy; increasing the efficiency of the transport system expressing, inter alia, a fundamental change in the expectations of transport users regarding the quality of its services primarily in the area of full-service transportation and logistics, timeliness of delivery, size of the consignment, delivery at the precise time, money and flexibility to adapt to changing needs
Summary
The importance of the transport sector in the world economy (to varying degrees) has been repeatedly discussed in the works of M. It cannot be stated that transport plays the dominant role in this damage; denying its part would be false as well This does not change the fact that the smog produced by vehicles today endangers the further development of some agglomerations (an example of this is the city of Delhi in India or Poland - one of the most polluted European countries). It is not without significance for the development of transport that a build-up of traffic on the roads and increased number of its participants. Despite the much smaller technical achievements at the beginning of the twentieth century, travel in urban areas (for example, from the outskirts of London to the city center) would take as much time as it does currently or was even shorter[4]
