Wpływ budowy Kolei Dużych Prędkości na zmiany dostępności w indywidualnym transporcie samochodowym w województwie łódzkim
The impact of the construction of high speed railways on accessibility changes in individual road transport in the Łódź Province

Summary/Abstract: There have been talk of high-speed rail (HSR) lines in Poland since the beginning of the 1990s. High-speed railways have been in operation in the world for much longer, because already in the 1960s in Japan the first trains that could move at speeds above 200 km / h began to be operated. In the study below, the main goal was to determine the changes in accessibility in individual car transport as a result of the construction of high-speed rail in the Łódź Province. In order to estimate changes in the potential accessibility of settlement units before and after the commissioning of new or modernized sections of railway lines, it was necessary to generate focal points of communes in the voivodship and assign them the number of inhabitants. The obtained results prove that each of the seven variants will contribute to a decrease in potential accessibility in the Łódź Province.
