Abstract

The article presents the concept of using lightweight, self-propelled railway sets to support freight processes in agglomeration areas. Due to the nature of selected areas, including in particular the increased demand for deliveries, such zones are exposed to dynamic and often uncontrolled increase in the share of car transport in total transportation. Combining indicated phenomenon also with increasing transport needs of residents and users on designated areas usually results in the formation of adverse events associated with the transport congestion. The concept presented in the article could help to increase the share of rail transport in handling freight (including due to technical and organizational capabilities, also in terms of cargo handling in quantities preventing the formation of block train compositions), which ultimately could bring measurable effects by relieving transport infrastructure and reducing congestion. The pilot area became the region of Szczecin agglomeration. Adopted considerations arise directly from the author’s participation in the preparation of the “Concept of the Szczecin Metropolitan Railway” (SKM), then the implementation of the SKM feasibility study. Improvement of infrastructure of “Szczecin railway junction”, both in terms of quality and quantity, assumed in the study may be an important potential for the development of freight rail transport in the region – in the form of e.g. the analyzed “Light Freight Railway” system.
