The Impact

The dynamic development of urban areas has created the need to adapt computer systems used to increased passenger traffic. Increasingly common phenomenon of congestion, contributed to intensify efforts to improve the efficiency of the control flows in agglomerations. For this purpose cities begin to use more and more modern-solving software to improve the functioning of public transport. The aim of the article is to assess and review of current solutions that can be successfully implemented in communication systems, cities in Poland. The publication is also intended to determine the prospects for the development of intelligent transport systems in the future as well as the effects resulting from their continued use.

Intelligent Transport Systems tools and equipment are built still not very often out of cities. It seems, that simple accommodation on traffic lights is the higher level of ITS there. This situation will evolve in the near future. What is important, dynamic developing of intelligent priority systems does not have to be limited only to cities or urban areas.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the assessment of future applications of CASE (Co-operative, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric) mobility—a term that is also taken to include the more traditionally known applications of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems). It sets the objective of making such assessments more holistic and horizontal in nature because future CASE mobility applications will include many technologies and service concepts as an integrated whole serving specific mobility objective. Traditional evaluation methodologies will therefore have to be modified to account for this situation, and to this end, the paper focuses on assessing and adapting such “traditional” methodologies. It draws from the experience gained in Greece in the last decade when a substantial number of ITS applications were implemented and assessed, especially in the second largest urban area of the country, the city of Thessaloniki (part of the EU’s European Network of Living Labs). Four basic methodologies are selected: the use of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), focused interviews, the CMME (CASE Mobility Matrix Evaluation), and the use of safety audits before and after the CASE mobility application. For the first three, the paper suggests specific indicators and/or content. It also gives an example of the use of CMME based on a use case from Thessaloniki. The contents and recommendations of this paper provide a better understanding of the emerging situation as regards CASE mobility applications and point to the need for establishing a timely and comprehensive CASE mobility evaluation framework at both national and European levels, for future implementations.

Bus Services

Applications of information technology are expanding rapidly across all modes of transport, under the general heading of intelligent transport systems (ITS). For bus-based public transport, a cluster of applications has been developed that can help improve the efficiency and performance of buses on the street, thus helping to provide a real transport alternative to the private car. An initial summary of a range of such ITS examples in Europe is provided, including automatic vehicle location (AVL), bus priority in traffic control systems, automatic ticketing systems, automatic camera enforcement systems, and variable message signs. Then the focus shifts to one area where activity is most pronounced—the implementation of AVL systems and their integration with urban traffic control (UTC) systems. A review of typical AVL/UTC systems operational in Europe is then presented through the identification of some eight alternative architectures and associated system characteristics, such as the technologies used and the location of bus priority “intelligence.” This is followed by a summary of examples from cities in Europe that have implemented these architectures, together with typical results illustrating the effectiveness of these systems. The diversity of architectures, technologies, and systems is recognized as beneficial in providing customer choice, but can generate a significant difficulty for decision makers in local authorities wishing to invest in public transport ITS technologies. A concluding discussion lists some of the key issues involved in this investment process.

Reliability Of Operation

The article presents threats related to broadly understood cybersecurity, encountered in modern public transport, especially in cases of increasingly introduced Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Experience to date has shown strong links between the technical sphere and IT system of public transport, ensuring its protection against unwanted externa l interference from people (or organizations) trying to disrupt its functioning. The following - inter alia - are of a key importance: the system of existing bus network as well as organization of bus work on routes (schedule) and its IT links, monitoring and system protection against external interference. The main goal of cybersecurity in public transport is to increase the level of cybersecurity in city agglomeration by increasing the availability of hardware and IT tools, included in intelligent transport systems, protecting safety and reliability of operation of public transport.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are a set of tools that enable better and more efficient use of existing road infrastructure. They support the operation of transport systems in selected areas. ITS services are not only related to the improvement of cars traffic conditions but also to the functioning of urban public transport in the area of their impact. Thanks to the available ITS functions, supervision over the functioning of urban public transport has become easier and allows to achieve the intended effects in the form of increasing the importance of urban public transport (UPT) in transport systems of cities and agglomerations. Establishing transport priorities for UPT vehicles, closing streets for cars, supervising the movement of UPT vehicles, dynamic passenger information systems or immediate response to emergency situations is one of many available ITS functions in public transport. The article presents an analysis of the functioning of selected ITS services supporting the functioning of urban public transport in selected areas of the Silesian Voivodeship.
