BELARUS ON A THRESHOLD FOR CREATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
Abstract
The paper describes a conception of intelligent transport systems and reveals their benefit in solution of various tasks: road traffic safety, speed increase, ecology improvement, relief of urban territories, comfort improvement and others. The intelligent transport systems cover all types of transport and consider all the elements of transportation system: transport facilities, infrastructure, dynamically interаctive drivers or users. The information is considered as a basis of the intelligent transport systems, whether we have statistic or operational transportation data or a digital map. Data obtained with the help of such systems can provide real-time information on current situation in the network or on-line information in order to plan a road trip. In addition to the mentioned capabilities of the intelligent transport systems in respect of solution of modern transport problems the paper considers comfort factors and also their technologies, logical and physical architecture, productivity and operational efficiency.
The paper provides an analysis on the development of the intelligent transport systems in the world: the USA, European Union and Russia. The initial stage for creation of the intelligent transport systems has been characterized with due account of the experience of various countries. The paper describes myths and realities pertaining to formation of such systems in the countries with transition economy. Peculiar features concerning development of the intelligent transport systems in Belarus have been analyzed in the paper. The paper presents recommendations on practical steps for establishing the Belarusian intelligent transport system. The main problem in creation of the intelligent transport systems is not technical issue but an institutional one. It is necessary to combine efforts of state, research, industrial, commercial, academic structures in the united team.
