RELEVANT INDICES OF TRAFFIC GROWTH AND CARGO FLOW DYNAMISM ON PAN-EUROPEAN CORRIDOR VB
Tanja Poletan
Sažetak
In relation to different economical, political and other factors which are unpredictable, actual cargo flows are the most advisable basis for analysing and forecasting the cargo demand on traffic route. Therefore the cargo flow directions and their dynamism are at the same time the main indices of the position and transport route competitiveness on the transport service market. With the objective of attaining concrete conclusions on the current, potential and market interest of the Pan-European corridor VB (Rijeka-Zagreb-Budapest), which is a corridor of great importance for the integration of Croatia into the European traffic and economic system, this paper analyzes the relevant indices of traffic growth and the dynamism of the turnover of goods. With the analysis of relevant macroeconomic indicators, the paper defines the main international trade partners of Croatia, the dynamics, value, quantity and direction of cargo flows and also international trade exchange and overseas exchange trends of European countries. Since the port of Rijeka is a referred transit point of corridor VB, particular attention is given to analysis of the port traffic. Because of its geo-traffic position, Central Europe is an important gravitational area and strategic market segment of the corridor VB. Therefore, overseas directions of cargo flows from Central European transit hinterlands are also analysed. On basis of the results found, predictable conclusions were brought about cargo flows, potential traffic demand and traffic markets, which under the conditions of their surroundings (alternative transport routes) gravitate towards the Pan-European corridor VB.
