Abstract
The paper deals with the importance of regional airport for economic development of the particular region with the possibility to cover also freight transport. In technical terms it is called the logistics centre or Freight Village. The special emphasis is given to the Pardubice airport and to creation of logistics centre on the Elbe river. The logistics centre would link four types of transport – railway, road, air and inland water transport. Terminal of the combined transport, which lacks in long term in the region, is also a part of the logistics centre.
Highlights
Logistics centres are called multi modal if the access of at least two types of transport is ensured
Multi modal logistics centre means the inter-modal hub of trans-European transport network, where the goods is transhipped between different types of transport
B) Trend towards intermodality x Freight Village (FV) as an interface between different types of transport offers optimal conditions for creation of intermodal transport chains, x business flexibility and safe sustainable assurance of the quality of logistics services rose by the possibilities of alternative types of transport, x if the FV is located next to the terminal of combined transport, the subjects can use rail and water transport, which will lead to increase of freight transport in these segments in the long-term, x high affinity of logistics on road transport will be strengthened by efficient cooperation with other types of transport
Summary
Logistics centres are called multi modal if the access of at least two types of transport is ensured. Different types of transport are concentrated here (e.g. road and rail transport) together with economic subjects (carriers, dispatch, warehouse), subjects offering complementary services (vehicle servicing, consultancy) and economic and business enterprises requesting logistics services They are all connected in one network. B) Trend towards intermodality x FV as an interface between different types of transport offers optimal conditions for creation of intermodal transport chains, x business flexibility and safe sustainable assurance of the quality of logistics services rose by the possibilities of alternative types of transport, x if the FV is located next to the terminal of combined transport, the subjects can use rail and water transport, which will lead to increase of freight transport in these segments in the long-term, x high affinity of logistics on road transport will be strengthened by efficient cooperation with other types of transport. D) Linking of logistics structures x reduction in traffic, traffic preclusion and transition, and adjustment of usage of infrastructure and suprastructure toward future needs of logistics is connected with the term of FV, x overall benefits of particular FV cannot be judged separately; the more FV, the more interlinked cooperation between them is formed, x transregional interlink of FV supports efficient business and transport cycles that strengthen competitiveness of economic subjects
