Results
Implementation of the task involved the implementation of the Integrated Traffic Management and Transport System (ZSZRiTP) as one coherent system that integrates the following subsystems:
1. Area Road Control System (SOSRD)
SOSRD is an element that has a significant impact on improving the mobility of the city. It consists of the following parts:
- - Traffic signalling system, allowing to maintain traffic flow and to minimize waiting time at intersections,
- - The priority system for public transport vehicles,
- - The driver information system, using variable signs, which will allow to report quickly on traffic disruptions, or missed trips.
2. Public Transport Management System (SZTP)
SZTP allows identification of vehicle locations and passenger counting and quality control of passenger handling by operators, which in turn will allow them to respond to current public transport needs in Rzeszów.
3. Passenger Information System (E-INFO)
The system, which aims to provide efficient information to public transport passengers. Information boards mounted at the bus stops display, among others, time remaining to the arrival of the given line bus.
4. Electronic Toll Collection System (E-BILET)
In order to facilitate the use of public transport will be introduced electronic ticket - e-Ticket system.
5. Purchase of modern bus fleet
As a part of the task, 80 modern, eco-friendly EEV emission buses will be purchased:
- 30x 12-meter buses for diesel,
- 30x 12-meter buses for natural gas,
- 20x 10-meter diesel buses.
6. Reconstruction and development of the local communication system and improvement of the functionality of public transport stops
In order to improve the functioning of public transport in the city, the local transport system have been rebuilt along with accompanying infrastructure, bays and bus loops.
