The Impact of Illegal Population Migration on the Risk Assessment of Freight Transport Carried Out by Polish Carriers
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2018, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
Launched in 2010, the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ caused an increased migration of people from both the Middle East and Africa to Europe. In the face of such a large number of refugees, the European Union announced a migration crisis. This crisis has increased the risk factor of road transport along selected European routes. The aim of this publication is to present the impact of immigrant activities on the Calais - United Kingdom route section on the assessment of the risk of cargo transportation in international distribution. The risk assessment was carried out from the point of view of enterprises providing road transport services in international distribution. The research used direct interviews conducted with the managerial staff and drivers in selected road transport companies that handle transport on the route under investigation.
