The role of railway in the European transport policy

Abstract

A modern transport system must be sustainable from an economic, social and environmental viewpoint. A framework for development of European transport system is defined through the common transportation policy, which is based on regulated competition, multi-modal transportation, the reduction of congestion points in traffic systems, environmental protection, and energy efficiency. This paper analyzes the basis and guidelines for the development of the railway in accordance with the common transportation policy by 2050.

Savremeni transportni sistem mora biti održiva forma sa ekonomskog, socijalnog i ekološkog stanovišta. Okvir za razvoj evropskog transportnog sistema je definisan saobraćajnom politikom Evropske Unije, koja je zasnovana na regulisanoj konkurenciji, multi-modalnom transportu, redukovanju uskih grla u saobraćajnim sistemima, zaštiti životne sredine i energetskoj efikasnosti. Ovaj rad analizira osnove i smernice za razvoj železnice u skladu sa saobraćajnom politikom Evropske Unije do 2050. godine.
