PT Journal AU Cerna, L Danis, J Abramovic, B TI The Proposal of a Tariff Taking into Account the Risk from Unoccupied Capacity of Passenger Trains SO Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina PY 2017 BP 90 EP 95 VL 19 IS 2 DI 10.26552/com.C.2017.2.90-95 WP https://komunikacie.uniza.sk/artkey/csl-201702-0016.php DE passenger transport; capacity; risk; calculation of costs SN 13354205 AB There are many different views on perceived benefits and costs of the offered transport services in the market, because each customer gives a different weight to characteristics of these services. The customer thus buys a service from the transport company that offers the highest perceived benefits in relation to the total cost. Therefore it is important to monitor traffic flows of passengers in a long-distance rail passenger transport and in advance specify the expected number of passengers who use this link. Only on the basis of a well-prepared prediction it will be possible to establish an effective session tariff, which ensures reimbursement of all costs to the carrier and also guarantees a reasonable profit. The aim of this paper is to provide a cost analysis of a carrier in passenger rail transport at the risk of unoccupied capacity of a selected train in different variants of its workload and the proposal of a session tariff with respect to this risk.
