Abstract

The paper presents a method of comparison of geographical regions in terms of their transport system efficiency. The method is an alternative to traditional statistical analyses which compare parameters describing the transport capacity and transport performance. It utilizes the opportunities presented by the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) in terms of computation of relative technological efficiency. The proposed model provides for quantitative and qualitative verification of particular components of transport systems in the compared geographical regions, and determination of the efficiency frontier. Effectiveness of the method is presented, based on a comparative analysis of Poland’s administrative provinces. An overview of the opportunities provided by the DEA method is outlined together with some methodological recommendations. The conclusions discuss conditions for broader applications of the analysed study method.
