Abstract: The article presents the research results into the influence of the content of a chemical-based stabilizing admixture in the form of starch on the change in the consistency of the concrete mix. The assessment of the impact of the stabilizing admixture dosed in the amount of 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% in relation to the mass of cement on the change in consistency was made based on the cone drop test according to PN-EN 12350-2:2019-07. From the prepared concrete mixes, samples were also made for testing concrete density according to PN-EN 12390-7:2019-08 and compressive strength according to PN-EN 12390- 3:2019-07. For the developed composition of the concrete mix, a standard (reference) mix was prepared, which was used to compare the test results from samples containing admixture in different amounts. Based on the tests carried out, it was found that the applied stabilizing admixture based on starch with a different percentage share concerning the mass of cement significantly reduces the consistency. The use of an admixture in the case of a concrete mix with too high consistency gives the possibility of changing its purpose without affecting the other parameters.

Abstract: The level of traffic noise depends mainly on road traffic parameters such as: traffic volume, share of trucks in traffic and vehicles speed. Traffic conditions determined by such parameters as, for example, the average travel speed, average delays at the intersection and the number of vehicles stops are also important. Their particular importance is revealed especially in the case of bad traffic conditions and a significant reduction of traffic flow. The paper presents selected methods of measuring road traffic parameters, and in particular - traffic conditions on the example of research on their impact on the noise level in the vicinity of the street and intersections. The results of these tests are also presented, determining the impact of such parameters on traffic noise as: instantaneous speed, sectional speed, average delays at the intersection entry, the number of vehicle stops, volume to capacity of the entry ratio.

Abstract: Railway lines have an impact on the surrounding environment, both during the construction or modernization phase and during operation. Animal mortality due to collisions is an increasingly well-known impact, but usually the barrier effect that occurs as a result of line fencing is a much more serious threat. Collisions also have other aspects: train delays and damage, and a threat to traffic safety. Most often they occur in the morning and afternoon hours, and in the annual cycle during the mating season of a given species and after the separation of young animals from their mothers. Since the train does not resemble a predator, wild animals do not instinctively fear it and learn to ignore the movement of the trains. Keywords: Railway lines; Environmental impact; Wildlife

Abstract: The article explores the possibility of using railway vehicle simulators and train traffic management station simulators for training Warsaw metro employees. The great benefits of using simulators are pointed out. On the basis of experience, positive opinions of candidates and employees who already have qualifications in terms of the possibility of practicing many incidental situations rarely occurring in reality have been observed. The use of simulators allows for the repetition of the same exercises for all employees and the initial verification of the trainee's predisposition to perform given activities.

Abstract: The article analyzes the main directions of long-distance rail transport in Poland, confronting them with the main directions of population movements in individual road transport, which allowed for the formulation of a general conclusion as to the polycentric rather than monocentric system of the Polish land transport network, in which the main passenger flows are closed in two circles. The smaller circle is formed by Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań and Bydgoszcz with Toruń, while the larger one is defined by the main cities of northern, eastern, southern and western Poland. On the basis of this analysis, a general recommendation was formulated that when designing the spatial and geographical layout of new high-speed railway lines, the layout of passenger flows inside the country should also be taken into account. The new concepts of the geographic route of high-speed railway lines related to the railway component of the project to build the Central Communication Port (CPK) in Poland do not fully take into account this postulate because they have been completely subordinated to the function of transporting and transporting passengers to the planned central airport. In the further part of the article, after a critical analysis of the assumed spatial and geographical routes of new high-speed lines Warsaw - Łódź - Poznań / Wrocław, the CPK - Płock - Grudziądz - Gdańsk line and the designed sections of high-speed lines for the CPK - Rzeszów transport route, specific corrections of their spatial routes are proposed.

Abstract: The load-bearing capacity of natural airport surfaces directly affects the safety of air operations. Natural airport surfaces at military airports are front seat belts, work belts and side seat belts. The load-bearing capacity of the natural airport pavements must be high enough to prevent damage to the aircraft from the runway, damage to the underground infrastructure of the airport, and to enable quick restoration of the airport's operational capacity by efficient removal of the aircraft from the natural surface by airport services. That is why it is so important to have a quick and effective method of strengthening natural surfaces. The article proposes to improve the load-bearing capacity of natural airport pavements by using geogrids (airport gratings) pressed into the existing pavement.

Abstract: The intensification of air operations in recent years has resulted in an increase in stresses and deformations in concrete pavements. In terms of mass, dynamic and temperature interactions, these are measurable phenomena that can be determined and predicted using appropriate methods and algorithms. Another type of impact that does not occur in an avalanche-like manner on pavements is their random destruction caused by the presence and operation of exploitation media. The article presents the impact of selected measures on the change of concrete parameters and its durability in the pavement structure. The effects of this impact are significant and clearly destructive for concrete pavements. In addition to the measurable decrease in the mechanical parameters of concrete, there is an interference of media with the concrete structure, which in the presence of extreme temperatures (positive and negative) is a challenge for concrete technologists, contractors and users of airport pavements. The nature of the impact of exploitation media is varied and in most cases there is a combined effect of them on pavements. It has been shown that the operational coatings currently applied to pavements are only partially effective for these media, and learning about the nature and manner of impact makes it possible to effectively limit these unfavorable, objectively occurring phenomena.
