Abstract

Railway transport can be sustainable only when the unit price is comparable to that of road transport. This paper addresses variable costs from a management perspective and analyses the influence of technical parameters of the wagons on variable costs. Costs were calculated with a conversion calculation method using norms and standards for rail transport in Slovakia. Transport utilization was calculated on the basis of assumed wagon utilization in real conditions.
