Abstract:
The application of new technologies on railroad crossings goes along with many questions, which answering should forego the implementation itself. The paper presents basic problems of crossings and the classifi cation of generic railroad crossings according to the European Railway Agency. Therefore the goal of this paper is to present the current state and prospects in the field of railroad crossings in the light of the present-day situation, whereby the major attention is aimed at two fields – new technologies and overview of risk analysis methods applied worldwide on railroad crossings

Abstract:
In order to conduct analysis for the evaluation of benefits derived from Transport Telematic Services (TTS), supporting decisions about architecture design options, it is necessary to establish a characterization framework. Th is study identifies potentially relevant TTSs for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Transport, potential users and domain of usage for the services and present these in a useful framework for conducting analysis toward a holistic understanding of telematic services e.g. impact analysis, benefits analysis etc. An illustrative example employing the framework has been presented.

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

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 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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.

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

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.

GNSS technologies for electronic toll collection
M. A. MARTINEZ OLAGÜE, J. COSMEN- SCHORTMANN | 2010-01-05 09:12:34 |
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.
