Abstract
The provision of appropriate quality rail services has an important role in terms of railway infrastructure: quality of infrastructure maintenance, regulation of railway traffic, line capacity, speed, safety, train station organization, the allowable lines load and other infrastructure parameters.The analysis of experiences in transforming the railway systems points to the conclusion that there is no unique solution in terms of choice for institutional rail infrastructure management modes, although more than nineteen years have passed from the beginning of the implementation of the Directive 91/440/EEC. Depending on the approach to the process of restructuring the national railway company, adopted regulations and caution in its implementation, the existence or absence of a clearly defined transport strategy, the willingness to liberalize the transport market, there are several different ways for institutional management of railway infrastructure.A hybrid model for selection of modes of institutional rail infrastructure management was developed based on the theory of artificial intelligence, theory of fuzzy sets and theory of multicriteria optimization.KEY WORDSmanagement, railway infrastructure, organizational structure, hybrid model
Highlights
Most countries of the European Union, countries aspiring for EU membership, and other countries in the world, have accepted the directives relating to the restructuring of the railway system
The analysis of experiences in transforming the railway systems points to the conclusion that there is no unique solution in terms of choice for institutional rail infrastructure management modes, more than nineteen years have passed from the beginning of the implementation of the Directive 91/440/EEC
We present a hybrid model based on the theory of artificial intelligence (Case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology), the theory of fuzzy sets and the theory of Multiple Criteria Optimization (MCO)
Summary
Most countries of the European Union, countries aspiring for EU membership, and other countries in the world, have accepted the directives relating to the restructuring of the railway system. Ods can be seen in the models for optimal pedestrian crossing [3], measuring of the passengers service quality [4], the prioritization of the investments in transport infrastructure [5], and model for creating a design and construction of railway infrastructure on Pan-European Corridors V and X by macroeconomic and infrastructure criteria for MCO [6]. The limitation of this approach is greater subjectivity in definition and quantification of the criteria. Based on the hybrid model, the developed software named UZI-CBR1 acts as an expert decision system for selection of the method (model) for the railway infrastructure institutional management
