Many definitions of “sustainable development” can be found in the literature. As some sources say the most frequently quoted definition is given in the Brundtland Report. It defines sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Sustainable development understood in that sense contains two key concepts: the concept of needs and the idea of limitations. The first one is truly important, however the second one seems to be more relevant here. The need to ensure the safety of today and the future generations is one of the needs to be assured in the framework of sustainable development. Giving the fact that the assurance may be achievable with the imposed restrictions – for example the impact on the environment – the issues related to transport arise in mind as some of rather “obvious” suggestions. Realisation of the need to ensure the safety concerns of the integrated transport system as such, but the need realisation should be related primarily to infrastructure and means of transport. Mode of transport which seems to be the least harm to the natural environment is railroad transport. Therefore the example of this type of execution which is Rail Vehicle’s and Rail Track Monitoring System is considered in the paper. It will be the main subject matter of the paper.References
