Nowadays, new automated terminals are being built in the world. Most of them are located in Europe, then in North America and the Far East. Automated guided vehicles, automated straddle carriers or automated stacking cranes have replaced handling devices that were manipulated and were controlled by port workers in the container terminals. The basic goal of the paper is to focus on the advantages of this progressive system that is based on the increase of the output of the container terminals, the reduction of downtimes or accidents during handling of containers.","PeriodicalId":145513,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130835644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the characteristics of intercity travellers in the Economy Class Units (ECU) and recently introduced Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) service within the Lagos District Nigeria Railway Corporation in southwestern Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was randomly administered to 1206 passengers traveling on these trains over two months with analysis in-volving the use of the regression model. The findings of the study indicate the socio-economic characteristics of passengers accounted for about 90.3% and 88.2% of the variation in volume trips made by passengers using DMU and ECU service respectively. Significant socio-economic predictors of trip volume on DMU train are Occupation (0.137), Vehicle Ownership (0.218), and Type of vehicle (0.218). On the other hand, significant socio-economic attributes of ECU passengers that affect trip volume are Age (0.274), Education (0.970), Occupation (-0.918), Income (0.435), Vehicle Ownership (0.249), and type of Vehicle (-0.165). The result further indicates Trip Purpose explained 83.5% and 86.7% of the variation in the trip volume of both services. The trip purpose that significantly influences the volume of trips on the ECU trains are Business (0.210), Shopping (0.447) Leisure (-0.463), and other trip purposes (0.775). For the DMU train, only Other-trip forms of purpose (0.753) is significant in explaining the volume of passengers using that service. The study shows similarities in the use of the two services while several useful recommendations on ways to improve both services of the corporation were proffered.","PeriodicalId":145513,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Communications","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124496348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accessibility as an inclusive sustainable concept has the goal to enable all people to use the public transport system independently and self-determinedly. The implementation of accessible public transport directly affects different user groups. People who do not have temporary or permanent impairments will also benefit from simpler and more accessible systems. Consequently, the usability and comfort of public transport systems is raised for all persons. Therefore, the paper points out barriers and solutions for different target groups in public transport and discusses solutions for overcoming them. The paper concludes by showing how the consideration of accessibility already in the planning phase of a project can substantially reduce costs and improve the quality of the services, respectively leading also to better economic results.","PeriodicalId":145513,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Communications","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130443423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sharp increase in automobile traffic has resulted in increased transport problems. The most serious transport problems include traffic infrastructure congestion, increased accident risk and of course environmental impact. Daily mobility and securing the transport of goods is one of the key transport objectives. The most critical point of the road network is the intersection. Therefore, great emphasis is placed on the vehicle to pass smoothly and safely when passing through this place. In this paper an analysis of the current status of the selected roundabout is created. Based on the survey it is proposed three solutions to improve the traffic conditions of the intersection.
