Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on rail transport in the EU. The slowdown in the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been achieved by reducing the mobility of the population. The reduction in mobility has had an impact on passenger transport performance. The number of national rail passengers fell by as much as 90% during the first wave of the pandemic compared to the previous year. Several operators, especially new carriers, had to close down, while rail freight operators reported a dramatic drop in volumes as many sectors slowed or even stopped production as a result of the pandemic. The second wave of the autumn 2020 pandemic has forced many countries to take further restrictive measures regarding population mobility. The outbreak of the third wave of the pandemic has prevented a rapid recovery in rail transport, especially for passenger rail services. The paper focuses on the analysis of the impact of the pandemic and the measures put in place on the development of transport performance in rail transport in the Slovak Republic during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper proposes operational and organizational measures against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in railway transport in the Slovak Republic.

Framework Proposal for Solving Problems in Railway Transport During the COVID-19 Pandemic

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

At present, new knowledge about the physical nature and empirical phenomena in the field of distribution, losses, recuperation and consumption of electricity in railway transport is undergoing revolutionary changes. To date, the outputs of various types of traction electricity consumption on electric traction units (HEKV) and in the railway distribution network of the EU railway infrastructure manager (LDSŽ - Local Distribution System of Railways) have not been theoretically or practically analysed in available publications or on the scientific market. There are no empirical or experimental calculations and mathematical models at the level of mathematical approximation and intelligent prediction, i.e. at the level of preparation of technical specifications and documentation for expert software and effective ICT solutions to this problem. Research into new phenomena in the field of railway energy and research in the field of railway energy and research into expert systems and machine learning. The article describes the basic characteristics of determining the prediction of energy efficiency of traction electricity. Brings the results of the project “Research of new knowledge in the field of intelligent energy efficiency management system in rail transport using a modular neural network”, which aims to innovate procedures in solving the problem and didactic transformation of scientific content to simplify them into a subject understandable to students as interpretive and application concept of didactics of professional subjects. Transform the curriculum into students’ knowledge, attitudes and habits using teaching methods, organizational forms and material resources.

Improving Educational Processes Using Research of New Knowledge in the Railway Energy Efficiency Management System

The level of development of railway transport is one of the indicators of the economic development of the state. If the state regularly invests in large volumes in railway infrastructure, it creates conditions for the operation of quality passenger and freight rail transport. Analytical comparison of railway infrastructures is key to understanding the increasingly abysmal differences between the quality of railway infrastructure in the two countries. The comparison will be made mainly from the Network Statement of both countries.

Transport technic and technology

 The University of Zilina has, since its founding in 1953 as Railway College in Prague, been dedicated to comprehensive research and education in all modes of transport and communication. The need for the exchange of scientific knowledge in the field of transport, with regard to all its directions and modes, has led to the establishment of the international scientific journal Transport Technic and Technology (TTT).  The Transport Technic and Technology journal is a direct successor of the Railway Transport and Logistics journal which was published by the Department of Railway Transport, the Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications of the University of Žilina since 2005.  The high scientific level of the journal is guaranteed by experts from the academic sphere and practice from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Croatia, Austria, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom.  The TTT journal is a comprehensive focused on all transport modes in the field of technics, technology, transport infrastructure, transport engineering, IT, economics, management, ecology and law. The aim of the journal is to publish the latest knowledge of transport research, the exchange of theoretical knowledge and the best practice information between the academic sphere and practice.  TTT journal is published twice a year – in June and December.  Articles published in the TTT journal are reviewed by at least two independent experts, and the scientific level of published articles is guaranteed by the members of Scientific Committee.  All published articles are free of publishing fees and free of authors reward.  Archiving  Sciendo archives the contents of this journal in Portico - digital long-term preservation service of scholarly books, journals and collections.  Plagiarism Policy  The editorial board is participating in a growing community of Similarity Check System's users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. Similarity Check is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process.
