CNS and wind farm

Keywords:
Wind farm, Radar Theory, Air Traffic Management

Abstract:
The wind is an increasingly important source of energy for the Slovak Republic. It is exploited by the use of turbines to generate electricity. Because of their physical size, in particular their height, wind farms can have an effect on the safety aviation domain. Additionally, rotating wind turbine blades may have an impact on certain aviation operations, particularly those involving radar

Title:
Tunning Parameters of Evolutionary Algorithm in Travelling Salesman Problem with Profits and Returns

Keywords:
routing in transport networks, travelling salesman problem with profits, evolutionary algorithm

Abstract:
A huge number of papers studies Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) in classical version. In standard TSP all cities must be visited and graph is completed. While this is indeed the case in many practical problems, there are many other practical problems where these assumptions are not valid. This paper presents a new evolutionary algorithm (EA) which solves TSP with profits and returns (TSPwPR). This version of TSP is often applied in Intelligent Transport Systems, especially in Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). TSPwPR consists in finding a cycle which maximizes collected profit but does not exceed a given cost constraint. A graph which is considered in this problem can be not completed, salesman doesn’t have to visit all cities and he can repeat (with zero profit) cities in his tour. The method was implemented and tested on real network which consists of 160 cities in eastern and central voivodeships of  Poland. The main parameter which has the highest influence on quality of obtaining results is the size of population and our experiments are directed to determine an optimal value of this parameter

Title:
Analysis of integrated transport system influence on the region

Keywords:
integrated transport systems, public transport, region

Abstract:
This paper deals with the analysis of the influence of integrated transport systems on the region and on ITS transport services in the Czech Republic and Poland. Available transport statistics contain only the information about particular transport modes; the data of integrated transport systems is not registered. Therefore the basis for the analysis of integrated transport systems and ITS influence on the region is missing. With regard to this, the situation of transport services in regions with an integrated transport system and in regions without it is has been analysed. The result is based on the comparison of situation in these regions and in the whole country

Multi-sensor navigational measurements fusion

Keywords:
navigational mathematics, GPS, sequential estimation, maritime navigation

Abstract:
The method of integrating navigational parameters obtained from non-simultaneous navigational measurements is presented. The proposed algorithm of position coordinates estimation is general and includes two modes of data processing – from simultaneous and non-simultaneous measurements. It can be used in hybrid receivers of radionavigation systems integrating non-homogeneous position lines or in integrated navigation systems, particularly  in receivers combining the measurements of various satellite navigation systems.

Title:
Traffic calming as one of the methods of traffic management, as illustrated by the “Dutch Town” project in Pulawy

Keywords:
traffic calming, road safety, Dutch Town Project, Puławy

Abstract:
Traffic calming by means of physical measures enables to perform traffic management functions in those areas of cities and towns where ITS are absent. Traffic calming is also effective in improving road safety, which is of outmost importance considering that each year in Poland around 5 thousand people get killed in road crashes and excessive vehicle speed remains the main contributory factor. Thanks to a reduced incidence of speeding and undesired transit movements that are kerbed by physical measures, traffic calming makes it possible to manage vehicle speeds and accessibility of the road network over a whole area as well as to prevent crashes and mitigate other transport-related inconvenience.
A comprehensive traffic calming area was built in Puławy. It covers a section of the regional road No 824 and the adjacent residential area of Włostowice. The design drawings of the so called Dutch Town Project performed by EKKOM Sp. z o.o. included the adjustment of several best practices of road safety engineering used in the Netherlands to the Polish conditions and this solution is unprecedented in many aspects. The redesign of the streets combined with traffic calming has helped to solve a number local problems and at the same time a showcase of traffic calming for training purpose was created

Title:
Road charging in urban areas in the middle-size city

Keywords:
Road charging, electronic toll collection, congestions, individual transport

Abstract:
With transport problems such as congested streets we can meet today nearly in every bigger city. It arises from the main issue - an increase of individual car traffic in the city centre. The road charging in urban areas is very simple and efficient way to reduce traffic volumes, lower congestions or to limit individual transportation demand in the centres. In our paper we would like to point out a perspective solution of utilization of electronic charging system in city centre and focus on proposal of methodology for the implementation of an urban toll system

Title:
Applying ad hoc algorithms for highway traffic management

Keywords:
transport telematics, leader election, single hop network, size approximation

Abstract:
The number of cars participating in highway traffic is still growing as well as the necessity of quick and fluent transport between different locations. Therefore, ensuring the fluency and safety in highway traffic is becoming an essential problem in recent times. If only the driver knew about a danger waiting behind the bend, he would slow down; if someone got the information about a traffic jam 10 km earlier, he would probably take a different road or stop.
This paper aims at providing transport telematics solutions which ensure simple, fast and efficient means for highway traffic management. The ad hoc algorithms presented concern broadcasting within highway traffic and assume the collisions detection and a single hop network. Installing a simple transmitter and receiver on every car is considered. Energy efficient size approximation algorithms and a leader selection procedure are presented and discussed, including simulations.

Electronic chart, ECDIS, navigational information, integration of equipment and navigational information, human error, integrated bridge

Abstract:
This article presents the problem of proper use of navigational integrated equipment installed on modern vessels. Large number of electronic aids to navigation and even greater amount of information obtained make it possible to integrate and arrange these devices in a proper way. Such arrangement of all instruments make it possible to present all their data and information on the screen of electronic chart.
The dynamic development of information technology gave rise to electronic charts. The authors focused on the possibilities which are offered by electronic charts and presented the possibility of integrating individual instruments such as gyrocompass, log, echo sounder, GPS, ARPA and AIS and the information gathered from them with an electronic chart. This is a subject with further prospects and both all the companies producing the software as well as the ship-owners aim at the most efficient use of this device in order to improve the safety of navigation. This work also presents the mistakes which are made when electronic charts are used improperly. The further development of this system and the possibilities it can offer the future users are also presented here

Functioning of Digital Tachograph System in Country of UE

Keywords:
driver cards, workshop cards, control cards,  tachonet, control officers

Abstract:
Tachograph belongs to On Board Recording Devices. It was initially introduced for the railroads in order to companies could better document irregularities. The inventor of the tachograph was Max Maria von Weber, an administrative official, engineer and author. The Hasler Event Recorder was introduced in the 1920s. Regrettably, the construction of analogue tachograph, an original type of tachograph used in road transport, encouraged to numerous frauds and counterfeits of social rules for drivers. For this reason the European Union has developed an inspection system, based on digital tachograph and chip cards, used for recording the data and identification of the system users. The article is the presentation of the main rules of function of the digital tachograph system, used in road transport in European Union. The document describes main legal rules introducing the digital tachograph system, foremost requirements which must be fulfilled by the producers of digital tachographs in order to get the type approval, possibility of future requirements of digital tachograph, main functions, characteristics of participant of digital tachograph system and their tools of the identification, acting and setting of authorize workshops in Poland and European Union and the accessible methods of check and calibration of digital tachographs and their description, based on Commission Regulation (EC) No 1360/2002 of 13 June 2002 and Polish law. Furthermore, the dissertation presents current level of implementation of digital tachograph system in EU Member States and in all Europe.

Title:
Lighting device parameters influence on signal circuit safety in interlocking systems

Keywords:
signal circuit safety, interlocking system, colour light signal, alternative light sources

Abstract:
Signal circuits are an important part of the interlocking system. The main role of the signalling circuit is to switch the required signal aspects and signal checking. A signal is an interface between the interlocking system and a driver of the railway vehicle. Light bulbs are mostly used as a light source in most types of interlocking systems. It is possible to think about alternative light sources within the context of modernisation of the interlocking systems. The use of alternative light sources using must not cause signal circuit safety degradation. The article deals with problems of light bulbs replacement for another light source in AŽD 71 type relay interlocking in the Railways of Slovak Republic.

Title:
Reducing the Impact of Stroboscopic Effect on the Results of Vehicles’ Plate Recognition Using Super-Resolution Techniques by Non-Coherent Camera Triggering

Keywords:
register license plate number recognition, super-resolution, camera triggering

Abstract:
The use of super-resolution algorithms can increase the resolution of image subject to further analysis in relation to the physical resolution of the camera recording the video sequence. A typical recording of such sequence is done with a fixed time interval (pre-determined number of frames per second). This can cause the shift of the plate image for subsequent frames by the total number of pixels, resulting in inability to take advantage of super-resolution algorithms that require shifts or rotations by a fractional part of pixels both vertically and horizontally. A possibility of reducing the impact of this effect by non-coherent triggering cameras is suggested in the paper.

Title:
Transport safety of ŽSR level crossings

Keywords:
safety, level crossing, accidents, transport, ZSR, technical measures, organisational measures

Abstract:
Railway transport is one of processes controlled with a certain level of risk. It is apparent that due to a limited level of our knowledge, the technical level and limited funds we cannot count on absolute safety (zero risk) but we must admit that in a real technical system some error or fault may occur and its occurrence may mean a certain risk for the controlled process. The authors focus on proposing and presenting potentially usable measures that could increase the safety of traffic operation at the level crossings operated by the ŽSR (Slovak Railways). Technical and organizational measures are discussed separately. Some of proposed measures are specific for Slovak conditions only, however, to a certain extent some findings can be generalized and possibly applied in other countries, too

Title:
Road user protection via intelligent camera surveillance

Keywords:


Abstract:
Because of increasing traffic volume and complexity, road safety is now more than ever a hot topic on the government agenda. Traffic managers at all levels are organizing today debates with the following central topic: how can we better protect the road user?
One of the solutions to improve pedestrian safety is via Video Image Processing technology. This video detection technology detects faster than any other detection technology. By analyzing the video images in real time, you immediately receive a clear image of potentially dangerous situations. Result: the danger of the incident is substantially reduced and secondary impacts are prevented.
Is video detection a cure-all? Just like any other ITS technology, this detection technology must be used correctly. Different applications require different cameras and different camera positions. One must not start implementing video detection technology without a complete understanding of the costs and benefits associated with these systems. If the correct guidelines and parameters are taken into account and implemented correctly, video detection has proven to be very reliable and can offer great solutions to the end user

Title:
Dynamic Traffic Management Systems on A4 Motorways

Keywords:
   traffic management system, variable message signs, traffic control, speed management, road safety

Abstract:
The A4 Motorway is the key transport connection in southern Poland and carries domestic and international traffic in the east-west direction. In 2008 a traffic management system based on variable message signs (VMS) was designed for the General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways. The system covers a section of 165 km of the A4 Motorway between the interchanges Bielany (Lower Silesia) and Sośnica (Silesia).
The main purpose of the system is to ensure seamless traffic flows and road safety. Thanks to the application of VMS and a dynamic transfer of data and information the functions of the system include traffic control, speed management, alternative route guidance, traffic information and weather warnings. The design stage of the system included the mapping of data sources, grouping of potential traffic incidents, development of message signs, setting out of actuation procedures and sequences of message display as well as outlining of communications procedures and decision making process by the administrator of the system. A lot of attention was given to factors providing for reliability of the system and credibility of messages.

Title:
Possibilities and duties of ITS for large events

Keywords:
ITS, traffic management

Abstract:
In 2006, the FIFA World Soccer Championships was hosted by Germany. On that occasion new approaches on co-operative traffic management, new duties for ITS and new safety and transport strategies were developed and tested in and between the twelve hosting cities. Its success depended mainly on an actual and reliable information and guidance strategy as well as on a perfect operation of innovative ITS systems, on the way to the stadium and - maybe even more important - on the way back home. So traffic management with ITS played an important role in a suitable organization and operation of it. And the results would be good hints for other cites, regions or countries who will host similar events in the future.

Title:
Implementation Problems of Automatic Emergency Information System - eCall

Keywords:
   eCall, 112, traffic accidents, telematics, ITS

Abstract:
The concept of eCall automatically informing system of traffic accidents is one of the key-points of the European initiative eSafety and aims to create a Pan-European system of quick notification of traffic accidents. The system will use the telephone 112 or E112. The accident data will be transferred to emergency points. The estimation of costs and profits of the eCall system within the E-MERGE project and research SeiSS6 shows a possibility of avoiding even 2500 deaths a year and diminishing the results of accidents by about 15% on European scale. This paper presents rules of the eCall system operation and introduces some problems associated with the system implementation. The paper includes the eCall infrastructure, legal problems and the data transmission from a vehicle to a PSAP centre. The following technical issues are being discussed as well: accidents detection, ICT communication and data transmission in the voice channel.

Keywords:
AI, intelligence, IQ

Abstract:
The hereby article is to present the notions of two concepts: human and artificial intelligence. The paper first offer the short presentation of their most common definitions. Both terms are widely known, however, not often are they viewed from the same perspective. Thus, the most intriguing part is to treat both issues in the similar, if not the same, way, using close assessment tools. Furthermore, the ways, methods and the approaches towards the assessment tools are provided. Finally, the comparison between those two concepts is shown, together with the idea of ITS as an example of AI.

Title:
Application of the HDR imaging in vehicles’ video tracking systems

Keywords:
vehicles’ tracking, High Dynamic Range images, Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract:
Video systems are used in Intelligent Transportation Systems for vehicles’ tracking. Cameras typically used in these systems are characterized by relatively low dynamic range which is only a fragment of the dynamic range of the human eye. In order to adapt to the lighting conditions the cameras feature dynamic changes of the gain and exposure.  For vehicles there is a very wide range of the observed brightness of details because of the variety of vehicles’ colors and the presence of elements reflecting light in different ways, as well as changing lighting conditions. This means that even if the camera is able to capture the relevant dynamic range, there is a restriction of the distinguishability of details, which is essential in the process of detecting the location of vehicles. The use of HDR imaging techniques based on various exposures helps to increase the dynamic range and improves the accuracy of vehicles’ positions estimation.

Title:
Interaction of Real and Embedded Devices for Intelligent Control of City Electric Transport

Keywords:
   electric transport, embedded systems, intelligent control

Abstract:
The interaction of real and virtual devices is an important point in the design and development of control system. The central part of an embedded control system is a controller and it needs input devices and output sensors for realization of the control. The proposed approach allows using a real controller with its specific programming tools and languages for intelligent software development and virtual measurement and sensor devices realized in a computer environment. Different wireless compounds are necessary for intelligent embedded devices for transport system control.  For this reason a wireless communication network is needed to ensure the data transmission between the controller and supervisory control and data acquisition system. The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach for interaction of real, embedded and virtual devices in electric transport control systems.
The main tasks are: to analyze objects and functional dependencies of an electric transportation control system, to develop a control algorithm with the interaction of real and virtual devices, to ensure a wireless connection for the data transfer from the controller to the supervisory control and data acquisition system, to define the method of transmitted data processing. Computer and practical experiments, with real and embedded devices, and the results analysis will be described the paper.

Title:
Usage of Infrared Camera in Active Safety Systems

Keywords:
   safety systems, car collisions, prevention

Abstract:
The intelligent systems supporting the driver start to play a decisive role in avoiding vehicle collisions in dynamically changing road conditions. Systems cover the following fields: prevention, passengers safety, support and information. In that case we are dealing with an integrated safety system, which is much broader then an individual car or personal skills of a driver. The implementation into a common usage of sophisticated safety systems is aimed at early warning, monitoring the situation on the road, mutual interaction and functionality of the systems in changing road conditions. The huge technological investments of car producers result in safety improvement and avoidance of majority of car collisions. The most recent safety active systems, which are broader described in the article, include the systems, which use IR cameras, such as: Driver Alert System - DAC (Driver Alert Control) and LDW (Lane Departure Warning) as well as City Safety System.
