Informatisation of the public administration of the Slovak Republic aims to create a functional architecture of the integrated information system. This system also includes the development of Agenda information systems that provide electronic services in the most automated mode, according to the principle all at once. In the fi eld of water transport, there is currently no fully functional agenda information system. Creating an Agenda Information System (AIS) will allow multi-channel electronic access to public transport services in water transport. The complex information solution of the water transport agenda will be digitalized for individual applications and submissions. Part of the Waterway Agenda Information System will also be the establishment of a client zone, an online tool that will provide online information for users and providers. This tool will allow personalized client notifi cations that simplify the process for all parties involved (public administration, entrepreneurs, or individuals). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education and practical training of the crew members in water transport have been directed towards harmonisation within the EU. One of the basic goals of the project HINT (Harmonized Inland Navigation Transport through education and information technology) is the implementation of inland navigation simulators into the educational process. They might become an alternative way for practical training of crew members in near future. In this article we analyse the requirements for the functions and complexity of an inland navigation simulator in the educational process within the Danube region. The analysis comes from the research that was carried out by the organisations that work in Inland Water Transport (IWT) in the Danube region in October 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes the energy consumption and GHG production comparison of three transport modes - road, rail and waterborne. The calculations are done according to the legislation in force - standard EN 16 258:2012 Methodology for calculation and declaration of energy consumption and GHG emissions of transport services (freight and passengers). The results have high informative value because they take into account energy consumption and emissions from primary and secondary consideration. The calculation is done by real fuel consumption values (road and waterborne) and by simulation of energy consumption (railway). The energy and emission coefficients from the standard EN were used for estimating the results according to the well-to-wheels and tank-to-wheels principles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
