Transport Telematics

Transport telematics systems integrate information technology with telecommunications for the purposes of transport systems. This helps to improve the safety of vehicles and facilities involved in transport tasks. At the same time, the efficiency of using transport infrastructure and means of transport increases. The development and use of specialised IT applications that use data from transport telematics systems helped to create Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Currently, in Poland (in Europe and in the world), more and more advanced services offered by Intelligent Transport Systems are being developed and implemented. It is particularly relevant in road transport, especially because Poland’s road safety is insufficient compared to other European countries. The article presents the authors’ proposed indicators and criteria that can be used for assessing ITS services in the context of road safety. The authors conducted analyses to study the application of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), if ITS services were to be used to improve road safety. Then, it will be possible to choose one solution from all the assessed ones.

Abstract The implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) nowadays is associated with a strong need to solve problems related to the high accident rate, as well as low efficiency of transportation process management. The topic of this paper is the characterisation of selected intelligent transport services and the determination of their influence on road traffic safety and efficiency. Two services implemented within the framework of the National Traffic Management System in Poland were distinguished, namely: transmitting information to drivers and incident detection. A general analysis of the relationship between the functioning of ITS services and safety on national roads, as well as traffic efficiency therein was conducted.

The paper discusses a new approach to ensuring the safety of controlled intersections. In the course of research, the authors found a change in the main characteristics of the traffic flow, which requires constant monitoring in the implementation of the intersection control using a traffic light. The heterogeneity of the composition of the traffic flow is determined and the influence of this parameter on the duration of the resolving signal is established. In addition, the authors determined the influence of weather conditions on the duration of the traffic light cycle and developed an approach to take into account changes in this factor in the calculation of the mode of operation of the traffic light object. As a result of the model experiment, the economic and environmental efficiency of the developed approach is determined. The results obtained in the course of the study are an integral part in the implementation of intelligent transport systems, which confirms the relevance and feasibility of the study. The use of this approach, in addition to integration into the its system, allows to reduce the accident rate of controlled intersections due to the rational distribution of the time of the traffic light object and reduce vehicle delays on the approaches, which together ensures the safety of regulated areas.

The Road

The national project “Safe and high-quality roads” is aimed at the development, creation and effective use of intelligent transport systems. Today, there are many technical solutions to improve road safety, as well as optimize the process of organizing traffic. Often, these solutions lie not only in the plane of design, in the use of technical means for organizing traffic, in reconstruction of the existing street-road network, but also in the use of intelligent transport systems. The article has developed a concept for the development of a road-road network in Khabarovsk, in connection with the adoption by the Government of the Khabarovsk Territory of a decision on the construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of Voronezh-Bolshaya Streets in Khabarovsk, as part of the national project “Safe and High-Quality Roads” in the Khabarovsk Territory. The collection and analysis of statistical data, over a five-year period, on the types of frequency of occurrence of reported road traffic accidents. Visual and grapho-analytical methods identified the focus of the concentration of traffic accidents at the considered site of the road network of the city of Khabarovsk. Based on the method of conflict points, factors that influence the accident rate of an existing section of the road are studied. Several options for improving the quality and safety of traffic are considered: changing the number of lanes, regulating the traffic light, building a multi-level traffic intersection. Using modern software systems, based on methods of mathematical modeling, for several options developed models of traffic flows, identified the maximum possible comfortable and safe traffic conditions. Substantiated recommendations are given for improving the quality and safety of road traffic by improving the existing road situation.

New System

Background & Objective: Traffic congestion is a burning issue in most countries due to the rapid growth of running vehicles and infrastructures with limited capacity. Congestion can be solved with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and traffic management. Most traffic management measurement are aimed to improve the safety and flow of traffic, reduce traffic emissions and utilize traffic artery capacity more effectively. Methods: This paper proposes a new system to collect the required data for traffic management such as, number of vehicles, time and lane location information; using a cheap infrared sensors and timers. Conclusion: The proposed method can take the length of the vehicle into account of traffic statistics by measuring the car speed.

Transport Problems

Abstract Port towns are strategic places from the point of view of transport systems. They form integration junctions for various transport branches , apart from the traditional - road and railway ones , also for water( sea) transport which is active there. Moreover, air transport comes also into consideration , whose efficient functioning must be connected with good accessibility, that concerns sea transport as well. Efficient and safe servicing the ports is crucial for their functioning. Problems associated with the overloading of lorries, which leads to degradation of road surface structure , observed in Gdynia, are discussed as an example in this paper. Problems of road traffic safety (RTS) are presented in this paper on the example of Gdańsk. The two issues: the road traffic safety and road surface degradation constitute only some transport problems of port towns , but they are very important, from the point of view of their specificity, for integration junctions of all the transport branches for people and goods. However, in discussing selected aspects of transport in port towns it is necessary to refer to the managing of integrated transport system with taking into account its traffic safety aspects.
