Abstract:

Safety is the exemption from accidents and losses on human lives. It is also related to property protection, regulation, management and transport technology development. The analysis of accidents indicates that 95% of transport accidents are caused by a human factor failure (wrong evaluation of situation, participant’s skills/abilities etc.) One of the most frequent errors of drivers is a wrong decision in a critical situation. The decision process is very complicated since the driver has to evaluate the situation arisen correctly within fractions of a second. The implementation of telematic systems into vehicle equipment reduces the energy intensity, reduces environmental impacts, increases safety etc. Reduction of total operating costs of road vehicles, simplification of vehicle control to the maximum extent and reduction of driver’s informational overload is emphasised. Our article deals with the analysis of human factor and investigation of its demonstrations in the context of telematic applications.

Abstract:

Actual problems of transport information centres introduction have been described in this paper. The growth of vehicles number in the Czech Republic in recent years is evident. Road construction is time-consuming and very costly. An advanced telematics system solution should be applied. Information is now more important for drivers. The traffic congestions are an important problems for drivers. However the drivers can accommodate their own way and save time using traffic information. Time saving impacts on economy, accident frequency and last but not least on the environment. Current technical solutions can get authentic information, which other entities can provide to the users. The main problems are the functional interconnection of traffic information and distribution of existing traffic information to drivers

Abstract:

Paper presents new method how to share and process the sensitive data distributed in different databases. It is typical for ITS area that data elements are stored and managed by different public/private organizations located on different places. On the other hand a lot of telematics applications are based on the connections and further processing of shared data elements. This fact yields into requirements for new dynamical electronic identifiers that protect communication channel against sensitive information connection. We present the basic concept of application of dynamical identifiers together with illustrative example applicable for e-Government part of ITS.

Abstract:

Multimodal transport implementation allows connecting the point of origin and the point of destination in an optimal way. The goal of multimodal transport is to maximize the efficiency in connecting the economic elements of various traffic branches, i.e. their operations related to transport and communications, thus positively reducing the inventories of raw materials, semi-products and end products with the aim of increasing the balance in the overall economic system of a country. The development of multimodal transport and good organization of the traffic system make it possible to increase the existing and to generate new freight flows that would result in positive effects on the import-export balance

Abstract:

Real-time transit management systems that can inform the public about transportation options and availability are gradually being deployed in many parts of the world. While many larger cities have been able to provide this information on web sites or through automated telephone systems for several years, smaller municipalities often lack the resources to develop their own transit management systems. Addressing this issue as a joint effort, transportation agencies in the multi-state North American CARS Program have cooperatively developed a real-time, multi-modal transit tracking and incident reporting system called Modes. Modes builds on the CARS road condition reporting system developed by 17 transportation agencies in North America. Modes extends the CARS software to include ferry, bus, and passenger rail services to the basic highway network information it manages. Modes was initially created to track the Alaska Marine Highway System’s extensive ferry system and has been successfully applied to New England’s popular Acadia National Park bus tracking system, three bus systems in Maine, 13 bus systems in Idaho (in progress), three bus systems and a light rail line in the Sacramento, California area (in progress), as well as the Amtrak Downeaster and Capitol Corridor rail lines

Abstract:

A method of automated measurement of rail circuits parameters and harmonics of return traction current has been elaborated. Th e mathematical model of traction network is proposed and allowed us to involve the action of diff erent sources of electromagnetic interference on the operation of rail circuits. The results of modelling allowed establishing that the rail circuits are exposed to a dangerous influence of return traction current near a locomotive and substation

Abstract:

The analyses were aimed at determination of failure effects in the transmission system, which allow identifying the transition process of the system from a safety state (it may not be necessarily a failure – a free state) to a dangerous state and permit to calculate probability of the dangerous state occurrence of the system as a failure effect to the operating system. Dangerous states of the safety Fieldbus system are mainly caused by systematic failures within a specification of the system, electromagnetic interferences (EMI) and random failures of the HW effects.  The effects of electromagnetic interferences and random failures of HW can be described in the paper by the use of time table

Abstract:

Summary: Effective operation of transport depends on the correct costs fixing. The external cost – externality- is the cost or its part that disinterest its author but interests the other people who are not participating in it or who are its victims. Some externalities cannot be expressed in numbers, like the death, human suffering and damage of environment. Externalities interfere with effective division of resources within sectors. According to the study of EU, the road transport, with its 92%, is the biggest contributor to externalities.

Abstract:

The paper refers to some problems of European Electronic Tolling Service (EETS) implementation in Poland. Motor Transport Institute has developed the structure of the National Automatic Toll Collection System (NATCS). It consists of National Automatic Toll Collection Centre (NATCC), OBU and control subsystem. NATCS system is based on a combination of mobile communications using the GSM-GPRS standard technology, the satellite-based global positioning system (GPS) and 5,8 GHz microwave technology. An innovative element of NATCS is the On-Board Unit (OBU), which automatically calculates the amount of charge due taking into account the vehicle category (admissible weight, number of axles), road distance and the emissions class (ecological aspect). The control subsystem distinguishes between automatic enforcement through control gates, enforcement by mobile teams, and patrol teams. This presented kind of system is the best toll solution for Poland because of unique capabilities

Keywords:

railways, signalling, line block

Abstract:

The automatic line block system may be constructed as a chain of autonomous distributed set of functional blocks located along a railway line section, interlocked by the data transmission subsystem and controlled from two ends of the section. Thus, a certain possibility of simultaneously issued contradictory commands creating conflicts during their execution to be settled by a functional block controlled by them particularly while the data transmission subsystem failure occurs have to be considered. Testing of automatic line block system proper functioning in a range of reaction to contradictory commands and examples of typical conflicts and general rules of solving them are discussed in the paper.

Abstract:

Modern Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are now being widely deployed; in order to ensure that these deployments will bring maximum benefit to end users and other stakeholders, an ITS architecture, which defines how the deployed system would fit into overall ITS structure, has to be defined. Help is available to achieve these goals from the European ITS Framework (FRAME) Architecture, now being upgraded by the European project E-FRAME. Within this project also the importance of mutual influence between standards and architecture is judged

Abstract:

Throughout the 1990s and beyond, transportation agencies in the U.S. and Canada identified a need for condition reporting systems, both for internal traffic management and for sharing real-time information with the public, and in 1997, four states in the U.S. pooled their resources to build a first-generation condition reporting system, reducing the cost to each individual agency while also offering the opportunity to collaborate on the requirements and design for the new system. The result of this multi-agency effort was CARS (Condition Acquisition Reporting System), which is an ITS standards-based system that allows authorized agency users to enter, view, and share critical road, travel, weather and traffic information. CARS has subsequently been deployed by 17 agencies in the U.S. and Canada, including state departments of transportation, cities/municipalities, and toll authorities - and the group continues to grow. This presentation will discuss the history of the CARS Group and its developments, while also discussing opportunities for expanding it to transportation agencies in other parts of the world.

This paper gives an overview on some chosen aspects of examination of car stability. It especially stresses the situation of an after repair car, with disturbances in its body geometry, mass, inertia and deviation. Such disturbances can occur especially after the side crash, which is one of the most common types of accidents.

The need to increase speed, range and operational load in air transport is currently more topical than ever and is related to the efficiency of fuel use. Minimisation of costs and fuel consumption is connected with the necessity to analyse the influence of profile and procedures of flights depending on the type of aircraft functioning in the transport system. The main objective of the paper was to develop a method of determining costs and fuel consumption depending on the aircraft type and the profile of transport tasks fulfilled, and then to carry out comparative calculations for various types of aircraft designed for local transport. Based on the comparative analysis of results, conclusions have been formulated concerning the optimum ranges of using aircraft with various types of propulsion and optimum flight profiles.

The paper presents results of survey of European airports and civilian landing fields. The most important features, such as location, airport category technical characteristics of the runway, and equipment were collected in a database form. Moreover, a broad demographic analysis has been performed, the objectives of which included the determination of the number of population living in the immediate vicinity of airports of various categories. Catchment areas for airports of various categories have also been specified. Based on the analysis of the results, the suitability of airports for use within air transport system operated with light transport aircraft has been evaluated.

This Technical Specification of Interoperability refers to the passenger carriage subsystem of the trans-European conventional railway system. This TSI relates to different aspects of passenger carriage, including providing passengers with information before and during their travel. This paper shows the proposed range of TSI TAP use, as well as the state of adaptation to the requirements of TSI TAP of the currently operating computer systems.

Complex intelligent systems based on GNSS and GSM can be operated with very high security, reliability and availability even in very large fleets. This is clearly demonstrated by Toll Collect since its start. Even now they are economical and competitive.

The main purpose of the system described in this paper is optimization of traffic in the city by collecting and analyzing data related to traffic flow. Devices used in the process of collecting traffic information are installed in vehicles and send the information about current vehicle’s position and momentary speed. Based on that it is possible to find the best routes for any two points in the city.

The objective of this paper is to present the latest findings and trends in the evolutions of fleet management systems for public transport. The architecture of the current systems will be analysed together with the expected evolutions.

FleetEye-Rail is the system serving for monitoring of diesel-electric locomotive fleet. It locates locomotive position by the GPS technology, communicates with driver and acquires and processes various operational parameters.

Changes in the act on Public Roads and some other acts are intended to implement in Polish law the provisions of European Parliament Directive 2006/38/EC on fee collection for use of some types of infrastructure by heavy vehicles. According to the bill submitted to the Polish Parliament (Sejm) by the government, the vignette system was to cease to operate on 1st July 2008. After the works undertaken by Infrastructure Commission some changes was introduced to the bill to the act on public roads. The main changes concern maintain the vignettes up to the half of 2011 and introducing the electronic fee system from 1st July 2011, also rise the vignette charges to stabilise the NRF’s budget for next three years. The paper present the evolution of legislative path accompanied constructing motorways in Poland.

The role of TTI is an effective supporting the use of transport network for example, in order to improve the capacity and to shorten travel time, delays, fuel consumption. In the time of increasing traffic congestion on the road network, especially on EU freight corridors and in cities, the RDS-TMC deliver the alternatives and it facilitate traveller information by providing powerful travel planning tools. Establishing a national RDS-TMC system is the goal for Poland not only because approaching EURO 2012 but mainly to join to other European countries and as they enjoy the benefits of TMC service. All actions must be supported by the agreement of all players in the information chain which creating the TMC service: ministerial bodies, civil/public services, public road authorities, public broadcasters, road users and industry. Only clear and transparency system of responsibility for maintenance and overseeing could guarantee the high reliability and correct work of TMC service.

The paper refers to theoretical basis and history of transport telematics. The definition of transport telematics and its synonymous term - Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) were described. Furthermore the development of transport telematics has been presented, especially general policy of many ITS associations all over the world: ITSS, ERTICO, ITS America, Australia, Japan and Poland. Finally, the applications of transport telematics and basic standards have been characterized.

Problems with infrastructure financing, pollution and congestion are leading different countries to the implementation of Road Pricing schemes. GNSS appears as one of the most flexible and cost efficient technologies for the implementation of large ETC systems. However, due to the nature of GNSS with random and occasionally large position errors, GNSS based ETC still has some constraints that need to be overcome. The use of a signal with guaranteed integrity, as the one available in WAAS or EGNOS combined with advanced OBU algorithms provides an efficient solution that guarantees the correctness of the charging. This paper presents the results of the trials in which this technology has been used and demonstrates how the probability of overcharging can be controlled and dramatically reduced in a GNSS-only system. These trials have been executed in London, Madrid and The Netherlands.

Different databases about merchant navy ships are utilized or introduced in Poland: Polish Harbors Information & Control System (PHICS) allowing to collect data concerning vessels visiting Polish ports, database of the Automatic Identification System (Helsinki Commission Service) collecting in real time information transmitted by ships sailing in the Baltic Sea area and enabling its distribution to maritime administrations of all Baltic States, global Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system extending ships monitoring outside GMDSS A1 areas and Information Processing System (IPS) which is a database about ships visiting the area of the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Zatoka Gdańska. Usage possibilities of these five databases for maritime safety and security control will be analyzed in this paper.

The globalisation poses new challenges in the management of the individual areas of human life, particularly in the transportation. Therefore all useful techniques, especially ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) are sought. The ITS improves transportation safety and mobility and enhances productivity through the use of advanced communications technologies.

The article refers to the challenges for the logistics which comes together with the organization of big sports events. The article is based on the example of the most demanding discipline which is Formula 1. It is here, where besides the latest technologies and the best drivers in the world, the latest methods of managements are applied as well as modern logistics techniques. New ideas of modern logistics were born in this highly demanding field. The logistics issues will be followed by very important aspects in preparing to the season, the race, and the qualifying that is the analysis of telemetric data, which is transferred from the car to the garage every time the car is on track.
