| Summary: | This paper provides comprehensive research on the linearity between the
efficiency and safety of inland waterway transport (IWT). For this purpose, methods of
statistical analysis are used. The efficiency of IWT is expressed by the transportation
outputs, which today are strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims
to find whether the demand for IWT has an impact on the accident occurrence
probability.
The results show the linearity between shipping accidents and the outputs of freight and
passenger IWT. The COVID-19 crisis has a higher impact on the efficiency of passenger
navigation than on freight navigation. With reduced demand, the level of safety is higher
but at the cost of declining efficiency in the transport sector. |
