Abstract
Considering the impact of technological factors on the system of passenger transportation, the emphasis is placed on competitiveness as a criteria of evaluation the efficiency of its performance. The system of passenger carriage by railway is analysed in terms of an automatic control system. An algorithm for constructing a formalized competitiveness model is provided defining local competitive abilities in respect to the units of a technological complex including the component of infrastructure determined by its state and the admissible speed and the component referring to rolling stocks. Thorough examination of the routes based on the methods offered in this work is needed to make proper decisions about their efficiency. A number of actions which should be taken to largely improve passenger carriage by railway is also described.
Highlights
Passenger transportation is one of the major branches of national economy aimed to satisfy the social needs of urban and regional population, the study of problems associated with this area from theoretical and practical perspectives is of particular importance
In determining the impact of technological factors on the performance of the system of passenger carriage, the emphasis should be placed on competitive ability as a major criterion reflecting its effectiveness
The system of passenger carriage by railway may be theoretically described in terms of an automatic control system because it has the inherent input and transformation units, output functions and feedback with all their characteristic features
Summary
Passenger transportation is one of the major branches of national economy aimed to satisfy the social needs of urban and regional population, the study of problems associated with this area from theoretical and practical perspectives is of particular importance. The research made by the authors of the presented paper [1, 2] allows them to define major criteria for evaluating the competitive ability of transport and passenger carriage services. They are mainly based on the evaluation of management and marketing systems activity. This research is important because the theoretical analysis of the impact of technological factors on competitiveness is relevant for solving the problem of increasing the efficiency of the existing railway transportation system, and, especially, for the future development of Lithuanian railways
