The purpose of the chapter is to show the processes which have an impact on the size, structure, and spatial distribution of heavy goods vehicles traffic over the network of national and voivodeship roads in 2005–2015. A particular attention was paid to the border areas and border crossings. The analysis was performed on the basis of a number of databases, including Traffic Census as of 2005, 2010, and 2015, Polish Border Guard traffic database, the modal structure of export and import at the poviat (county) level (Central Statistical Office—GUS), and the National Traffic Survey (Central Board of National Roads and Motorways—GDDKiA). The border (external) traffic was divided into origin-destination traffic and transit traffic.

Accessibility ranks among the most frequently investigated research topics in transport geog-raphy. Studies involving accessibility components focus on various spatial scales ranging from local, to regional, national and international. In Europe, especially in its central-eastern part, Community-funded infrastructural projects, primarily concentrated along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridors, combined with geopolitical change and rapid economic growth have resulted in considerable change in accessibility by road, and this has drawn strong interest from researchers who have engaged in research on accessibility at both national and international levels. In the past there was no accessibility model available which prevented high granularity studies (NUTS3 level) of changes in accessibility for trips over various distances in Europe. Researchers were not in a position to conduct a strand of accessibility research with potentially important benefits at a continental and country-to-country scale. Any studies published always excluded some accessibility dimensions and often limited themselves to just the European Union. Meanwhile, during the previous decade, European borders saw rapid change, in par-ticular within the Schengen zone. The zone’s functioning philosophy was altered by a series of events, including the refugee crisis of 2015, Brexit, although more lightly, and most of all the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. These events changed the accessibilities of the continent’s regions and for many this has meant a rapid increase in their peripherality. Clearly, this new situation calls for in-depth research by way of simulation, which is facilitated by the potential model used in this volume. Our volume summarises the project “EU-ROAD-ACC (EUropean ROAD ACCessibility)”, financed by the Polish National Science Centre (UMO-2014/13/B/HS4/03397). The main objective of the EU-ROAD-ACC Project was to propose a research methodology to calculate indicators of transport accessibility using the potential model, including method-ologies to: 1. Calculate accessibility at various spatial scales, including European and national; 2. Determine the role of borders, including the border effect, by looking at political barriers and changes in Europe over the previous decade; 3. Estimate accessibility for both long and short trips on the basis of differentiating between CATCH-times along the exponential dis-tance decay function; 4. Calculate accessibility to population (population potential) and to GDP (economic potential), including in the context of the relationships between the two potentials (potential quotient). As a supplementary methodological objective, the study also looks to flesh out the method-ology for the calculation of what is known as the potential quotient as a spatial dimension of the variability of GDP per capita and to identify the sensitivity of the European Union’s regions to the closure of the internal UE-27 borders due to the occurrence of black swans, such as the COVID-19pandemic in March 2020. 111The analysis uses the 2015 Europe-wide road network proposed by IGiPZ PAN that allows a car trip between any pair of the 1621 transport regions defined across the continent. The road network was based on the network database sourced with OpenStreetMap (OSM), which is estimated to be up to date to about the year 2015. The overall number of 1337 transport regions in the European Union was defined at NUTS 3 level. The study has come to the following conclusions. National borders have a negative impact on accessibility when they require the car to stop, typically for a border check. In general, at the scale of Europe as a whole and with few exceptions, the basic distinction between a border with or without border control is between borders within and outside the Schengen group. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, border restrictions across Europe have gradually diminished, while the European Union and the Schengen group have expanded by including new members. In the second decade of the 21st century, however, several events worked together to slow this process down. These events included the refugee crisis, the annexation of Crimea and the related war-fare in eastern Ukraine, Brexit, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience of closing the borders in the spring of 2020 (COVID-19 epidemic) shows that political borders remain the most convenient place to restrict the movement of people and goods whenever such restrictions may become necessary. While virtually all countries closed their national borders, only very few chose to restrict movement internally between their own administrative units. This means that the location vis-à-vis borders may continue to have a very strong impact on the positioning of units, whether cities or regions, in terms of their transport accessibility, and, as a consequence, may affect their potential to reap the rewards of proximity to economically or demographically more attractive regions. One example of such an impact is provided by those German regions that have been cut off from labour in Poland and Czechia. In this context the results on the potential quotient and on discontinuity belts, described below, may be perceived equally as identifying faster-growth “opportunity” zones and as sensitive zones that are dependent on regions across a border that in certain conditions may be shut. Conclusions: MAX variant accessibility (fully permeable European borders) In the maximum accessibility variant the borders do not hinder free movement of people and goods. This means that there is no waiting at the border. In these circumstances, the key fac-tor for accessibility is the quality of the road infrastructure and the distribution of masses, in this case of the population and the GDP. The results vary depending on the adopted CATCH-time values. In short trips (CATCH-time of 30 minutes) agglomerations and the...

The designation of peripheral areas with poor access to health care services is a key criterion for possible support from various targeted programmes or strategies. The proper delineation of the periphery relies on many factors, including (1) the accessibility measure adopted (proximity approach, population percentage, cumulative accessibility, potential accessibility and accessibility measure with competition); (2) the type of medical service (pharmacies, basic health care facilities, emergency health care services, hospitals and specialized health care services); (3) the method of determining the periphery area (fixed threshold vs worst deciles). We conclude that methodological assumptions concerning types of medical services, measures of accessibility or the way of determining the periphery should be precisely identified and tailored to a particular policy and case-study area, as even small differences may have a decisive impact on identification of municipalities belonging to a health care desert. Therefore, planners and decision makers should take note of this fact when evaluating funds both for improving accessibility through transport investments as well as for deciding the location of new health care facilities.

The regional differences in the level of accessibility and GDP per capita in Europe are the subject of many scientific analyses and much applied research. Using the road network for the whole continent and the division of Europe into transport areas on the basis of NUTS 3, we have concentrated on the potential quotient as a research method. The quotient is a ratio of economic and population potential, and its level and spatial distribution differ based on the dimensions of accessibility: spatial scope (intra-European and intra-national) and impedance. Depending on the variants of the above-mentioned accessibility dimensions, we focus on analysis of the core-periphery pattern. Based on a comparison of the level of GDP per capita with the level of potential quotient, we define the discontinuity belts in the cross-border areas and in urban agglomerations, i.e. areas particularly sensitive to migratory movements or commuting to work. In turn, the analysis of regional differences in the level of the potential quotient for different travel durations and, as we call it in the paper, the value of the CATCH-time, leads us to show the so-called tornado effect which is associated with declining spatial polarisation as a result of the extension of trip distribution towards longer trips. The typology presented describing the relationship between GDP per capita and the level of potential quotient at different spatial scales and for different trip durations allows the identification of regions particularly exposed to migration or interregional commuting flows and is a good premise for defining inner peripheries.

The main objective of the article is to assess the potential impact of the completed Via Carpatia route on changes in the accessibility of regions on a European scale. The model of potential accessibility in the international approach was used (sources and destinations at the NUTS3 level). The accessibility analysis showed that the range of impact of the investment is extensive and extends from the north of the continent to central Turkey, and the effectiveness of construction of individual sections is strongly dependent on the simultaneous investment in neighboring countries.

The main objective of this paper is to develop passenger traffic modeling for the entire territory of Poland at a detailed spatial scale. Analysis embraces a large number of transport regions at the municipal level and a network of national and regional (provincial, voivodeship) roads. For this purpose statistical data has been applied indicating local conditions related to spatial and socio-economic structure as well as functional relations. The cognitive goal of the study is to identify factors affecting the distribution and intensity of passenger vehicle traffic. Such identification allows for separation of those sections of the network, for which local socio-economic conditions and specific functional connections determine a different modeled traffic intensity from the actual traffic based upon the General Traffic Census measure. Modeled results have been compared with the authentic distribution of traffic on the network of national and regional roads in Poland in 2010. Combination of the following six travel purposes has been taken into account: commuting to work (COM), shopping trips (CH), commuting to university (EDU), business trips (BIZ), visiting friends and relatives (VFR) and tourist trips (TUR). Grouping the six travel purposes in a single multi-purpose model has proved to be successful and led to improved fitting with the General Traffic Census results.

Investment in transport infrastructure is the main factor responsible for decreasing origin-destination travel times, which are then implemented into a potential accessibility measure. This measure uses population size as a proxy for a destination’s attractiveness. Thus, changes in population distribution as well as the development of the transport infrastructure are mutually responsible for changes in accessibility. The potential accessibility measure is applied to assess change in accessibility in Poland over a twenty year period of time (1995–2015). During this time Poland has experienced a significant change in population distribution. At the same time, accession to the European Union provided an opportunity to use the structural funds and has resulted in an unprecedented development of the transport infrastructure, in particular the road network. The coexistence of both phenomena provides perfect conditions to investigate the complex interrelationship of both components of accessibility, namely transport and land-use. This leads towards a change in the level of accessibility and its spatial pattern, resulting in a transformation of the level of territorial cohesion. However, the selection of the particular impedance parameters greatly influences the importance assigned to an element of infrastructure or a component of population accessibility. Thus, several impedance functions are applied in order to capture their influence on the balance between the infrastructure and population components of accessibility change.

During the last decade, Poland has experienced a big push in road network development. As a result, the fundamentals of the modern road network have been established. This paper aims to recognize the consequences of changes in accessibility for territorial cohesion, analyzed simultaneously in national and international dimensions. The results provided show that similar spatial patterns and the overall scale of improvement in accessibility lead to entirely different impacts on the level of territorial cohesion. From the international perspective, the investments implemented have a strong positive cohesion impact, while from the national perspective a slight increase in regional polarization has been produced. Moreover, there was an adverse effect on territorial cohesion for almost 40 percent of Polish municipalities, depending on whether or not we include international destinations. The fact that analyses conducted in the national and international dimension yielded opposite results supports the presented approach of a multidimensional evaluation of transport network development.

Further tourism development in the Polish-Slovak borderland, as well as its overall economic development, depends on the construction of a motorway and expressway network. This paper analyses the impact of selected planned motorways and expressways (D1, A4, D3/S69, R1/R3/S7, and R4/S19) on the potential accessibility of the Polish-Slovak borderland with respect to the development of tourism. The most important investment project in Slovakia is the completion of the (started) D1 motorway. The R4/S19 and the R1/R3/S7 expressways and the D3 motorway/S69 expressway are expected to contribute to improved cross-border connections.

The paper focuses on an investigation of the Modified Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) in a potential accessibility case study of the Mazovia region. Three different potential accessibility models were prepared based on the same theoretical background and coherent spatial data: a municipal model, a grid model and a population-weighted average travel time model. We concentrated on two main issues: the differences in the results produced by the three different models, and the impact of different methods of calculation of self-potential on these differences. The results show significant differences in accessibility values produced by the three models tested. The municipal model produced underestimated values of potential accessibility indicator in all spatial units. The differences are first of all a consequence of taking into consideration the densely populated peripheral districts of Warsaw that are ‘visible’ in grid-based models, but ‘not visible’ (i.e. averaged) in the central-location oriented municipal model. As a consequence, the total travel time between the average (population-weighted) origin-destination grid nodes is shorter than that calculated at the municipal level and the potential accessibility values are higher in both grid-based models. However, in general, the main cause of the differences of accessibility values observed is not the self-potential but rather the complexity of transportation and land use relations between neighbouring municipalities.

The aim of this paper is to contribute to previous methodological studies of the approach to potential accessibility used in the evaluation of development of the road network. This is done by making a threefold analysis, which combines the overall improvement in the level of accessibility, territorial cohesion, and spatial spillovers. Moreover, we use different spatial dimensions (namely national and international) and different distance decay parameters to estimate both the short trips (e.g. commuting) and the long trips (e.g. business trips or tourism). The results are presented at a very detailed spatial scale (i.e. municipalities – LAU-2 units). The paper provides empirical evidence of improvement in accessibility, changes in the degree of territorial cohesion, and spatial spillovers resulting from the recent completion of two sections of motorway in Poland. The selected case studies differ according to their location (i.e. national and European, peripheral vs. central location), population density, and the settlement structure around the investment. The validity of the proposed multidimensional approach to the evaluation of road investments is verified as the combination of different accessibility dimensions and leads to results which differ respecting efficiency, equity and spillover effects. This paper provides arguments to strengthen the need for the tailor-made parameters of potential accessibility indicator and spatial dimension of analysis. They should be adjusted to the main aim of the particular evaluation.
