MODERN SOLUTIONS FOR URBAN PUBLIC COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT IN POLAND

The implementation of intelligent transport system solutions in cities provides passengers with better comfort and safety, moreover it considers the adaptation of vehicles to the needs of people with disabilities, the distribution of tickets as well as the broader infrastructure. The progressive digitization of transport services creates the opportunity to take use of the time spent traveling. Planning a smart city offering effective solutions in the field of urban mobility is one of the main problems of urban areas. The development of electromobility should contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the share of alternative fuels in public transport. Through a system of incentives for residents to cycle and walk, local governments create their mobility. The aim of the study is to present current solutions in public transport used in Polish cities. The empirical material based on the survey allows for a comprehensive look at the development of urban public transport

Investigation of tram movement indicators in general structure of traffic flow

In the work, the average operating speed of the tram is investigated on the sections with the high density of the road network. Such peculiarities are inherent to the cities where its configuration has developed historically, and trams move in the general structure of traffic flow which is predetermined by the absence of traffic capacity reserves in the old, as a rule, central part of the city. It frequently causes the reduction of the whole traffic flow speed of movement, in particular on the intersections and within public transport stops. Determination of the mutual impact of automobile movement and trams is topical because, on the one hand, trams, taking into account their dynamic and technological movement peculiarities, worsen traffic flow indicators, and on the other hand, vast traffic intensity causes downtime of the trams rolling stock in the queues before the intersection that decrease passenger transportation quality. As a result of the research reported in this paper it was managed to determine the amount of change of the average tram operating speed for different methods of traffic flow control for different times of day

Strategic directions of transport and logistics to ensure the implementation of new industrialization processes

Ensuring the processes of industrialization of the modern economy requires the formation of an efficient transport and logistics infrastructure. The solution of this task is carried out using the tools of strategic management, in particular the formation of strategic goals. The article presents the strategic goals and the corresponding strategic measures in the field of ensuring the availability and quality of transport and logistics services in the field of freight traffic at the level of the needs of the development of the economy of the Sverdlovsk region. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd

The Implementation of Smart Mobility for Smart Cities: A Case Study in Qatar

This paper contributes to building a systematic view of the mobility characteristics of smart cities by reviewing the lessons learned from the best practices implemented around the world. The main features of smart cities, such as smart homes, smart infrastructure, smart operations, smart services, smart utilities, smart energy, smart governance, smart lifestyle, smart business, and smart mobility in North America, Asia, and Europe are briefly reviewed. The study predominantly focuses on smart mobility features and their implications in newly built smart cities. As a case study, the modern city of Lusail located in the north of Doha, Qatar is considered. The provision of car park management and guidance, real-time traffic signal control, traffic information system, active-modes arrangement in promenade and busy urban avenues, LRT, buses, taxis, and water taxis information system, and multimodal journey planning facilities in the Lusail smart city is discussed in this study. Consequently, the implications of smart mobility features on adopting Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be studied. The study demonstrates that the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) when supported by Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), could result in making the most efficient use of existing transportation infrastructure and consequently improve the safety and security, mobility, and the environment in urban areas. The findings of this study could be considered an initial step in the implementation of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) in cities with advanced public transportation such as Doha, the capital of Qatar. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-10-09 Full Text: PD
