RELEVANT CHARACTERISTICS OF EUROPEAN TRANSPORT MARKET

Pregledni rad

The main aim of this debate is to explore the relevant characteristics of European transport market. The information gained through this debate are based on synthesis and analysis, systematic method, methods of mathematic modelling and mathematical programming and represent quality starting points for achieving equilibrium in more significant of European transport market. It is stressed that the transport supply in regional transport market should be able to satisfy the needs for regional transport, or transport demand without the increase in unused capacities and that through investments’ channelling into transport supply problem-solving in “critical” parts of a region, the equal and equilibrium economical development, will be achieved, as well as fast and efficient connection between individual European countries and differently developed European regional groups. The presented example of a network transport problem confirms the scientific basis of the stated facts.
