Abstract

The paper presents the result of a case study analyzing the current state of rail transport in Slovakia, namely the current state on the line Humenné – Medzilaborce in the east part of Slovakia and also the current train traffic diagram. On the base of the realized analysis, it was determined the problematic parts of this line, as the insufficient occupation of the transportation line by passengers. This is caused by a lower number of inhabitants of the researched area and also the geographical position of some villages in this area. The aim of this study was therefore to find a solution that would increase interest in the use of rail transport in this region.

Highlights

Rail transport, as well as passenger transport and freight transport, has a very important status in the national economy of each country
As well as passenger transport and freight transport, has a very important status in the national economy of each country. It is a type of land rail transport along an artificial traffic road which serves to move of material or passengers from the point A to the point B, by the help of rail vehicles
The aim of this study was to find free spaces in the current Train traffic diagram (TTD) for new connections and this can increase the interest of public and use of rail transport

Summary

Introduction

As well as passenger transport and freight transport, has a very important status in the national economy of each country. Train traffic diagram (TTD) presents an understanding among all parts of railway transport and organization of train transport. It is a set of measures and tools related to rail transport. TTD should ensure the speed, safety, and economy of people and goods transport, the required amount of transport and the optimal use of wagon stocks. It should harmonize the activities of stations with adjacent track sections, full use of staff working time and ensure the highest productivity of work and the lowest costs.

The current state of the line Humenné – Medzilaborce

Modification of TTD and extension of the actual TTD
