            <description><![CDATA[Inland waterway transport is an environmentally friendly mode of transport with high cargo capacity, but it remains underutilized in many European countries. The implementation of the Container on Barge (COB) concept allows the integration of inland waterway transport into intermodal logistics chains, increasing the efficiency of container transport while reducing environmental impacts. COB enables the movement of standardized containers along rivers with minimal transshipment, which shortens delivery times, reduces handling risks, and improves overall reliability. This paper provides a systematic analysis of COB, identifying its key economic, operational, and environmental benefits, as well as challenges for implementation in the Slovak Republic. The study examines how COB can reduce transport costs, decrease road congestion, and lower greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to more sustainable logistics solutions. In addition, COB has the potential to support regional development by creating logistics hubs, generating employment, and enhancing the competitiveness of local transport networks. In conclusion, the COB concept is presented as a promising tool for sustainable and efficient intermodal logistics, offering significant benefits for both environmental protection and economic performance while supporting the transition toward greener transport solutions in Central Europe.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper examines the legal framework and technical readiness for the deployment of autonomous train operation in the Slovak Republic. While the European Union has established a harmonised system of interoperability and safety supported by Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI), the Fourth Railway Package and the ATO over ETCS concept, national legislation in Slovakia remains largely oriented toward a traditional model of train operation with a dominant human role. The study identifies the key legal gaps that must be addressed, including the redefinition of responsibilities between drivers and automated systems, the adaptation of safety assessment procedures, and the introduction of cybersecurity requirements. The paper also analyses the current state of railway infrastructure in Slovakia, highlighting significant disparities between modernised core corridors and technologically outdated regional lines. The findings show that the successful introduction of autonomous trains will require comprehensive infrastructure upgrades, including full implementation of ETCS Level 2 or higher, the transition from GSM-R to FRMCS, and the modernisation of signalling and communication systems. The study concludes that autonomous train operation in Slovakia is feasible, but its implementation depends on coordinated legislative, technical and organisational development aligned with European standards.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The development of a road traffic model has numerous benefits, including the reduction of congestion in cities and precise estimated travel times. This study proposes a travel time prediction model based on a deep neural multilayer perceptron trained on GPS data collected in the city of Bechar, Algeria. GPS data was collected using an Android application and a learning model was built using Artificial Intelligence and deep learning techniques. The model was integrated into a web application that allows users to choose a route and make traffic and time predictions. Tests conducted in comparison with Google Maps and real travel experiences in Bechar showed promising results with high accuracy values for most tested routes. However, the accuracy was low in some tests due to the short duration of the data collection process. To improve the project, a data collection phase should be renewed to obtain high accuracy for all destinations and time periods.]]></description>

In this field of research, our study aims to spatial identification along a road network the hazardous road segments which present a dangerousness index. We proceeded the use of geostatistical approach, in particular global G(d) statistic and local Gi*(d) statistic of Getis-Ord. However, in an operational framework, this approach is highly dependent on hypothesis on the process of the measurement of the spatial proximity based on the distances between the BSUs. Thus, the interpretation of empirical results based on the optimal choice of the weighting structure and the critical distance. Methodologically, this work allowed to test an approach for assess the safety levels experimented in the case of road network specifically higher accidents risk in the Wilaya of Mascara (north west of Algeria). The first results confirm the validity of the method and allow a recoverable mapping by managers in the choice of measures of preventive management.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study looks how satisfied people are with the Delhi metro, which is crucial for sustainable transportation. The study focuses on security, comfort, travel time components. The research shows how important the quality of service is in public transportation and how it affects what people think and if they would recommend it to others. In the research, 430 passengers surveyed and used statistical analysis to understand what factors influence people’s opinions. The study reveals that age, gender, comfort and security are important factors. The study also investigates the alternate PT modes and found that metro fare, seating/standing facilities are important aspects especially for different genders. It’s important for the DM to think about how people feel about the cost of using it, the seating, and the different preferences of men and women. Making changes like lowering fares and making the metro more comfortable could make it a better option for everyone in Delhi.]]></description>
