Abstract

The paper is focused on a benefit of urban traction units with tilting system particularly in regional transport, on reducing travel times and on increasing the competitiveness of railway transport. The paper describes the importance of its utilization in such traffic especially if the infrastructure is unable to provide options of higher efficiency for railway undertakings. In this cases are the investments for line optimization not available, so railway undertakings cannot be more efficient by usage of classical vehicles. There is space for research of the possibilities of increasing the quality of transportation process despite the state of the infrastructure.
