In a pandemic situation such as Covid-19, it is essential to keep contact to a minimum, but it is also important to maintain an acceptable supply level to the population. This paper presents a general analysis of selected exponential logistics technologies, particularly the possibilities of their use in the implementation of logistics chains, or the segment related to storage and distribution during a pandemic. Exponential technologies are those whose performance doubles yearly, but whose cost is halved. Five logistics technologies have been selected that meet the exponentiality criteria and can address pandemic-related issues under certain conditions. Each of these technologies can be used in specific segments of logistics systems. The technologies meet the exponentiation criterion and contribute to increased performance, efficiency, and process automation These technologies are becoming part of a new approach to logistics and are directly related to the advent of Industry 4.0. This paper analysis and subsequent application concern logistics technologies such as internet of things, automated guided vehicles, drones, digital twins, and artificial intelligence.

During the individual waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, several areas have been significantly changed in our society. Especially during its first wave in the spring of 2020, lockdowns began to be introduced practically overnight and several strict anti-pandemic measures were adopted in most countries of the world, which changed the lives of all residents. The mentioned changes also significantly affected the public passenger transport sector and the transport process. Many times, they were implemented into practice immediately without conceptual systematic preparation. This contribution is focused on a progressive proposal of measures to improve the quality and efficiency of the transport process in railway passenger transport in the next potential period of the pandemic. In the process of providing a passenger with a travel document during the pandemic, new technical and technological elements are implemented in railway stations and trains to reduce the risk of virus transmission in order to protect the health of the passenger and the carrier’s employees. By introducing more modern passenger equipment systems in railway passenger transport in the form of automation and digitization of processes, it is possible to streamline and improve the quality of the transport process.

The COVID 19 pandemic has created blocks in our society that have affected all areas of our lives. One of the areas that have been affected most significantly is the transport sector. Due to the restrictions against the spread of the pandemic, public transport suffered huge losses. The aim of this contribution is to point out the changes in the traffic behavior of the inhabitants of Slovakia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, the data obtained using a questionnaire survey, which was carried out during 2021 by the inhabitants of Slovakia, served this purpose. It was found that during the strongest waves of the pandemic, residents avoided using public transport and switched to other modes of transport, primarily individual car and pedestrian transport. The main reason was safety and health concerns.

The contribution is focused on the analysis of the current state and development of traffic service in international rail passenger transport between Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The current situation in the post-covid period is analysed in more detail from several points of view. The frequency of passengers at individual border crossings in the monitored period is also briefly analysed. Part of the analysis of the work is a proposal for ways to improve the current traffic service at individual border crossings in international rail transport.

Possibilities for the Development of International Rail Passenger Transport Between Slovakia and the Czech Republic in the Post-Covid Period

Changes in traffic flows in cities occur over time due to several circumstances. Regulation and proper coordination of transport is conditioned by sufficient input data. The sensor network ranks among the resources that provide an overview of operation in road traffic. The city of Žilina was chosen to support the building of a sensory network with applied research of available data with subsequent use in practice. The sensor network offers a database for the subsequent evaluation of inputs from several points of view. The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with restrictions and many block measures that changed the dynamics of traffic journeys. The aim of this paper was to evaluate traffic flow deviations in connection with the continuation of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deviations in Traffic Flow Characteristics Caused by the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Rail transport is a continuous process that must be coordinated at all levels of management and is determined by technological processes. From a technological point of view, it is important to correctly determine the practical throughput of the track section, also called the railway infrastructure capacity. This means how much train traffic can be used to load the track section so that it shows sufficient train traffic stability even in the event of operational irregularities. The article is focused on the method of increasing the capacity of the Drienovská Nová Ves - Kysak track section with using the application of the method of determining the practical throughput performance in the anticipated timetable. Detailed determination of the occupation times of the section in the current state and in the application of individual proposals to increase the capacity of the investigated railway line provide us with information on other possibilities of modernization of the railway infrastructure in Slovak Republic. The article describes and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of individual proposals to increase capacity of the track section. As part of the future modernization of the railway infrastructure of this track section, it is necessary to implement these measures, as the track section under investigation is part of the AGTC and TEN-T international railway corridors. When designing new corridors, it is necessary to analyse and optimize the current railway network. The intention is not only to increase the quality of railway infrastructure, but also the quality of goods and passenger transport.

Transport technic and technology

 The University of Zilina has, since its founding in 1953 as Railway College in Prague, been dedicated to comprehensive research and education in all modes of transport and communication. The need for the exchange of scientific knowledge in the field of transport, with regard to all its directions and modes, has led to the establishment of the international scientific journal Transport Technic and Technology (TTT).  The Transport Technic and Technology journal is a direct successor of the Railway Transport and Logistics journal which was published by the Department of Railway Transport, the Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications of the University of Žilina since 2005.  The high scientific level of the journal is guaranteed by experts from the academic sphere and practice from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Croatia, Austria, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom.  The TTT journal is a comprehensive focused on all transport modes in the field of technics, technology, transport infrastructure, transport engineering, IT, economics, management, ecology and law. The aim of the journal is to publish the latest knowledge of transport research, the exchange of theoretical knowledge and the best practice information between the academic sphere and practice.  TTT journal is published twice a year – in June and December.  Articles published in the TTT journal are reviewed by at least two independent experts, and the scientific level of published articles is guaranteed by the members of Scientific Committee.  All published articles are free of publishing fees and free of authors reward.
