Abstract

"jats:p"Airport accessibility is an important factor for airport choice and therefore also for airport competition. When air passengers choose an itinerary, they reflect on the transport chain from door to door. Therefore, factors affecting the traveller’s decision for a particular option go beyond the price and quality of air services from airport to airport. The decision for or against a particular air service and a particular airport is to a certain extent dependent on the accessibility of the airport."/jats:p" "jats:p"The aim of the article is to present the preliminary research of factors which influence choice of transport mode used in order to reach Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW). The hypothesis of the paper is that the most common transport modes to WAW is private transport. The data were collected based on survey distributed within passengers in May 2015. The results show that there is a relation between flight destination from WAW and distance from the point of origin to airport and also between kind of traveller and transport mode used by his/her. There is also the conclusion that the most common transport modes from and to the airport in Europe is used very rarely in Warsaw. Document type: Article

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive solution proposed in response to the last mile problem tackled in freight"br" transport. This specific part of the supply chain requires considerable funding, particularly in urban areas, as well"br" as organisational solutions specifically matching the needs of the given territory. One of the measures"br" undertaken under of the S-mile project was implementation of an ICT solution enabling integration of large"br" transport companies (system clients, in this case) with carriers along with reduction of negative environmental"br" impact of freight transport. Basic modules of the extended S-mileSys system are as follows: S-mile Market Tool"br" (supporting contacts between an urban carrier and customers), S-mile Freighter Tool, S-mile Fleet Management"br" Tool and S-mile Simulation Tool (supporting fleet management by means of such features as e.g. vehicle"br" assignment optimisation algorithms, route planning etc.), S-mile Transport Planner Tool (used for route planning"br" optimisation) as well as S-mile Visualizer Tool (Big Data base addressing local authorities, enabling them to"br" generate a concise review of the overall impact of freight transport on the given area, of the emission distribution"br" as well as of the freight transport distribution against the transport network for spatial planning). The article also"br" provides a description illustrating individual phases of interaction between clients/users and the system.
