Dynamics of Transport Infrastructure Development in the Countries of the Danube Region

Abstract

The potential of infrastructure development and objective measures for the justified application of opportunities significantly impact the region's development. This approach to transport infrastructure development has been observed in the Danube region in recent years. The peculiarity of this region is the unification of the transport systems of ten countries through a single water and navigable artery - the Danube. This research presents the results of the study of the dynamics of the infrastructure of highways of various levels of equipment since, in recent years, much attention has been paid to the quality of highways. The study also calculates the density of roads and railway tracks for 2022 in all countries of the Danube region. To conclude on the presence of transport infrastructure objects, the hypothesis that the better the interaction between different elements of the transport infrastructure, the more actively it develops was tested. Data from open sources were used during the scientific research. When conducting the analysis during the study of the dynamics of the transport infrastructure of the Danube region, the main statistical tools were used, in particular, the correlation analysis between the density of the elements of the ground transport infrastructure and the number of ports.
