PASSENGERS’ CHOICE BETWEEN HIGH-SPEED …

PASSENGERS CHOICE BETWEEN HIGH-SPEED TRAIN AND AIR TRANSPORT Antonia Cokasova, EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (France) and University of Zilina (Slovakia) Abstract Air and rail are not necessarily competing modes of transport. The complementary capabilities and characteristics of these two modes together can satisfy the principal requirements of the passenger transportation market. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the necessity and importance of HIGH-SPEED Train inter-modal connections BETWEEN European airports. In particular it will focus on how passenger needs are addressed by inter-modal air-rail links. There are numerous advantages to this proposal, principally that it releases runway and ATC resources, offers immediate relief to congestion, reduces negative environmental impacts, and finally improves ground access to airports.
