From the ports in the northern Adriatic Sea (ports of Ravenna, Venezia, Trieste, Koper, Rijeka) a route from European ports of North Sea to the Far East is shorter by about 2000 nautical miles. It means a reduction of 6 to 8 days in shipping. These ports are reachable from commercial and industrial centers of Central and Eastern Europe. An assessment of the current situation and future development of the European transport corridors North - South, including possible interconnection by multimodal corridors Baltic ports in the north and Adriatic ports in the south, is included in this paper. This corridor is one of the ten basic corridors included in...

Digital terrain model is applicable for many possibilities related to aerial works by use of photogrammetry or laser scanning of the earth's surface. For the purpose of this research we consider just laser scanning used for work in difficult mountain terrain. The terrain of the Slovak Republic has many high hills and it signifies more complex flight planning, as laser scanning is usually flown in lower heights than photogrammetry. Moreover, as lower height is above terrain than the overlap between subsequent LIDAR strips is also lower. This situation can also lead towards the negative value in extreme instances.This paper also describes the most...

The paper deals with the definition of time savings as a factor in deciding on route choice of a carrier whether to use toll road network. The first part of the paper describes a history of road infrastructure charging in the EU Member States and the USA. Next part analyses the factors affecting decision-making process of a carrier when considering which road infrastructure to use - toll or non-tolled roads. The paper also identifies the value of time savings as a significant factor in route choice.
