Abstract
For centuries, it is known that people always prefer to accommodate in the region where there is good transportation network. Proper organization of transportation is one of the key elements which influence the dynamics of the World economics system development. Thanks to infrastructure modernization which allows to transfer the goods between engaged parties, it is possible to increase production and commonly to intense exploitation of areas located near this infrastructure among others in industry purposes. With regard to increasing demand for effective and efficient transportation system, there is a real need to improve communication and transportation infrastructure. A chance for this target shall be modern high technologies, which allows running with very high speed and thus also to reduce journey time. For this purpose there were established and is still developing relatively new product – high speed rail which is supposed to revolutionize modern transportation system functioning in the World. The article calls attention on a chance for improving competitiveness of rail freight transportation in Poland thanks to developing high speed rail network. There is underlined also rationality of modernization of the rail line which connect the biggest cities in South part of Poland. The descriptive part of the article refers to the high speed rail system and its development conditions. The research part is a technical feasibility study about section Cracow – Katowice – Wroclaw and possibilities for adopting it to achieve high speed rail line parameters.
Highlights
Proper transportation organization is one of the key elements, which influence the development of economic system functioning in a country
Proper rail infrastructure which meets requirements of technical parameters could become a real competitor for other modes of transportation. Connecting this line to CMK (Central Main Railway Line) and “Y” rail line would be a chance to develop high speed rail network in Poland, and at the same time a chance to increase the role of Polish railways on international transport corridors (Siergiejczyk, 2015)
One of the main assumptions of European Transport Policy is to change structure of transport sector up to 2020, for benefits to rail transportation based on high speed rail network
Summary
Proper transportation organization is one of the key elements, which influence the development of economic system functioning in a country. 2. High Speed Rail The main objective of each mode of transport is to deliver commodity or passenger in safe and undamaged condition and in possible shortest time. In the organization of passengers carriage using HSR resources, the key and necessary for proper functioning of the system is perfect compatibility between all the infrastructure and trains subsystems. This compatibility has a direct influence on services quality, price level, technical possibilities and safety level (European Parliament and Council Directive, 2008). The project of building rail network with high technical parameters, allowing achieving high speed was already involved in the conception of transeuropean transportation network. The project of building “Y” rail line is suspended by Ministry of Transport (Siergiejczyk, 2015)
