Public passenger transport for distances up to 800 km

Abstract

The increase in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans more than 2°C would lead to dangerous climate change and the devastating impact on wildlife. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the gas emission in all the sectors, including transport. Based on a large number of examples from different continents, this paper researches the possible shift of passengers from air and road to high speed rail traffic, on the trip lengths up to 800 km. The goal of the planned shift to other modes are reducing CO2 emission. The paper provides guidelines for the development of sustainable public passenger transport, which is environmental, economic and social required.

Povećanje prosečne temperature Zemljine atmosfere i okeana preko 2°C dovelo bi do značajne promene klime i razornog uticaja na živi svet. Zato je neophodno da se smanji emisija gasa u svim sektorima, uključujući saobraćaj. Ovaj rad, na osnovu velikog broja primera sa više kontinenata, istražuje mogući transfer putnika sa vazdušnog i drumskog na železnički saobraćaj za velike brzine, na dužinama putovanja do 800 km. Cilj planskog transfera putnika je redukovanje emisije CO2. U radu se daju smernice za razvoj održivog javnog putničkog saobraćaja, koji je zasnovan na ekološkim, ekonomskim i sociološkim zahtevima.
