Budapest – 17 June 2010
Poland - ITS in Urban Transport Projects

Krakow tramway extension to Jagellonian U:
Traffic management system – CCTV monitoring system –
Passenger information system (PIS)

Warsaw tramway modernisation :
PIS at stops – traffic control refurbishment with PT priority

Lublin Integrated PT system:
Traffic management system with PT priority – PIS

Rzesow Integrated PT system:
Traffic management system with PT priority –
GPS vehicle location – Information system for drivers –
e-ticketing
2
Czech Republic - ITS in Urban Transport

Prague Traffic Control renovation & extension
Control centre w/central switchboard and wall
map – computerized area traffic control – CCTV
management – CCTV based traffic data
collection - tunnel monitoring – optical fibre
communications – meteorological sensors at
road surface (temperature, moisture, salt)
 Prague metro line A extension :
Automatic dispatching system
3
Bulgaria - ITS in Urban Transport
 Burgas
Integrated Urban Transport
E-ticketing – PIS at stops and in buses
– GPS based PT control system –
Traffic control equipment w/priority to
buses on BRT - CCTV
 Sofia Integrated Urban Transport (under
development):
PIS at stops – Traffic control w/priority to
PT – E-ticketing, extension to
trolleybuses

Hungary - ITS in Urban Transport Projects
 Debrecen
tramway development :
Passenger information system (PIS)
Signalling at head station
 Miskolc tramway development :
PIS at stops – traffic control
refurbishment with priority to PT
 Szeged trams/trolleys development :
Traffic control system with priority to PT
– PIS for trams and trolleys – ticket
vending machines

An outlook of typical ITS measures
Traffic control
 City-wide
computerized traffic control
systems (on the picture above: Prague Traffic Control Centre)
 Traffic data collection in real time
 Priority to public transport at traffic lights
 Variable signing: access control, traffic
lane assignment
 Congestion charging in urban centres
Public transport operations
 GPS
based automatic dispatching of PT
vehicles, headway management
 Passenger information at stops and in
vehicles
 Electronic
ticketing
 Internet site for information of PT users
Safety enhancement
 Detection
 Visual
of incidents and accidents
monitoring of traffic and parking
through video systems (CCTV)
 Control of speed and headways
Real time data collection
 Real
time traffic information to road users
equipped with navigation/positioning device
 Travel
time prediction displayed on road
side information boards or on internet site
 Information to PT and road users on
internet site(s)
 Monitoring of air quality and emissions
 Meteorological measures, particularly to
Parking management
 Parking
availability and occupancy
 Integrated
control
electronic parking payment and
Observed failures when
implementing ITS measures
Failures in implementing ITS measures

Implementing punctual (opportunist) ITS measures :
resulting in a multiplication of tenders in the long run – multiple
technologies = compatibility problems – difficulty to contract
different supplier – excessive investment / maintenance costs

Lack of a comprehensive approach :
This is particularly damaging when dealing with centralized
traffic control, public transport control.
A city wide computerized traffic control system can hardly be built up
out of earlier initiatives taken at intersection or road axis level –
E-ticketing requires a fare collection strategy for all PT modes in city.

Not considering environment friendly modes :
A traffic control system should be designed to offer a priority to
PT, not just best speed to traffic on main thoroughfares.

The right approach to
implementing ITS measures
The right approach to implementing ITS



Setting up guidelines at national level :
Applying guidelines referring to EU and HU best
practice will favour implementation of proven
technologies and methods – will ensure ITS
compatibility between municipalities of same
conurbation.
Setting up up Transport Organizing Authority /
Mobility Agencies :
TOAs and Mobility Agencies will tender out ITS to be
used citywide by different operators (PT operators
particularly) using similar equipment, strategies.
Design ITS development plans at national, regional,
city levels :
for instance: city wide traffic control / PT control
systems, with centralization of data collection in real
time, application of coherent strategies, monitoring.
