Cross-cutting Issues

The article describes critical situation concerning implementation EFC satellite oriented system in CEEC
countries. Situation in the field of practical implementation of GNSS/CN is very critical at present due to lack of valid
European standards. There is only one realistic possibility to build up interoperable system - to use “de facto” standards. The
idea of an interoperable hybrid system has been elaborated by expert group for the Ministry of Transport Czech Republic.

Palm Beach County, Florida has urgent needs for work zone safety and traffic and incident management improvements due to reconstruction of Interstate 95 and rail corridor improvements. In response, Florida DOT sponsored a fast track project to plan, design, build, operate and maintain a comprehensive traffic management system. The planning process confirmed the corridor needs, concept of operation and design requirements. The design determined software requirements, communications design, and field device placement in the context of interstate reconstruction. The Management Information System for Transportation (MIST) control platform is utilized with field devices by ADDCO Inc. The system is integrated with other ITSs within the region. The project demonstrates successful partnering by Florida DOT, FHWA, and the PB Farradyne Team to expedite the contracting process and complete the necessary studies, design, acquisition and deployment utilizing innovative contracting methods.

The paper is outlining the problems which authorities and road operators are faced, e.g. congestion, high invest in road infrastructure, pollution,... Tolling is one way to solve or manage the problems. There are several systems for tolling. The state of the art technology is the GNSS Tolling system. The GNSS Tolling System consists of several components like e.g. backoffice, enforcement system, billing center,... The core component of the System is the On Board Unit (OBU) and its supplier. Being responsible for acquisition of the toll relevant data for every tolled vehicle and therewith for an income of billions of Euros, the OBU must fulfill some toll specific requirements. Lowering the invest for a tolling scheme is also possible, by using the OBU for providing value added services. This paper will give a good overview on what are the challenges for a reliable and flexible OBU and the suppliers.

In 2003, PB Farradyne under the guidance of the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OMPO) and support of Oahu’s transportation stakeholder agencies developed a Regional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture for Oahu. The development of the Oahu Regional ITS Architecture was born from the need to improve safety, capacity, agency/system integration, communication, and mobility on Oahu. The objective of the Oahu Regional ITS Architecture effort, therefore, was to support ITS interoperability and joint operations initiatives amongst Oahu’s transportation and emergency response providers ultimately benefiting a broad range of Oahu’s transportation stakeholders. This paper summarizes the Oahu Regional Intelligent Architecture placing emphasis on the approach taken to develop the architecture, key aspects of architecture development, and the unique characteristics inherent to the region.

Vision Zero is an image of a future situation where nobody is killed or seriously injured in
road accidents. In the time period 2003 – 2006, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration
carried out a national traffic safety project in Lillehammer based on the Vision Zero. Focus
was put on measures to avoid the most serious accidents or reduce their effects. The project
covered measures related to the roads, vehicles and different group of transport users.
