ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARISM OF ROAD AND RAILWAY TRANSPORT: A CASE STUDY IN HUNGARY
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT ENGINEERING - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The influence of mankind around the world is unquestionable. Resources are used and pollution is made during the transportation of human capital, raw materials, semi-final and final products. Nowadays pollution is a key factor in the progress towards sustainability in all sectors. Recently only the transport sector has not been able to fulfil the requirements and lower its emission in Europe. Further on there is a global pressure on modal shift from road to rail. But the question is still not answered whether the rail transport pollutions less? This article aims to present a method of analysis and to answer these questions in the case of Hungary.
