Sažetak

Road transport networks are overloaded by the increasing number of vehicles [1]. This has resulted in the redirection and the increasing intensity of navigation on rivers, canals and lakes. Transportation by inland waterways of the European Union (EU) represents a reliable, economical and environmentally friendly mode of transport. The latter has been recognized as a key form of transport in the European intermodal transport system. Inland waterways as part of the transport system play an important role in achieving the objectives presented in the White Paper: Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area, the transport strategy of the European Commission (EC). The goals of the strategy include increased mobility, reduced fuel consumption and increased employment in the inland navigation. According to these objectives, 50 % of the passenger and cargo traffic at inter¬mediate distances between cities should be transferred from road to rail and water transport. It is reasonable to expect a decrease in Europe’s dependence on imported fuel and the reduction of CO2 emissions in transport by 60 % by the year 2050. It is assumed that the increase in traffic density along the rather outdated infrastructure and the diverse means of transport create high costs with regard to fuel consumption. In order to reduce the present fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, this paper defines essential guidelines in the development of optimisation models for navigation in inland waterways.
