Připravenost evropské infrastruktury na rozvoj intermodální přepravy

This bachelor’s thesis examines the preparedness of European infrastructure for the development of intermodal transport, with particular emphasis on the connection of the Czech Republic to selected seaports of the European Union. The aim of the thesis is to identify European seaports regularly served by container rail services to and from the Czech Republic and to assess the level of preparedness of the connecting railway corridors and ports in terms of technical, operational, and environmental criteria. The practical part is based on data from the carrier METRANS a.s., European Union documents, annual reports of ports, and routing data. A Scoring model based on eight selected criteria is used to compare individual routes and ports. The analysis points to different levels of preparedness among the monitored corridors and ports and at the same time highlights the importance of high-quality rail connections, the technical parameters of railway lines, and environmental measures in ports for the further development of intermodal transport between the Czech Republic and the seaports of the European Union.
