Rail and maritime transport, with intelligent systems - Document approved/ Safer and more efficient service for citizens and goods
While a number of projects in the railway and port sectors are under development, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy has approved the "Policy Document for the Development of Intelligent Transport Systems", paving the way for their implementation in these sectors.
According to the document, intelligent transport systems can significantly contribute to a cleaner, safer, more efficient and sustainable transport system by applying various information and communication technologies to all modes of passenger and freight transport.
They aim to contribute significantly towards the intelligent approach by improving infrastructure, traffic and fleet management, facilitating better tracking and tracing of goods across transport networks, and better connections between businesses and public service bodies.
The measures envisaged to be taken to achieve these goals start from the transposition and implementation of the European Directive, the creation of functional railway institutions, competition in the railway market, strengthening capacities for the transposition and implementation of the EU acquis, etc.
It is also envisaged to provide training courses for employees, mainly for the operation and maintenance of ITS railway systems, the introduction of innovative school programs, in order to include new procedures and new technical aspects, etc.
The implementation of these measures is expected to be completed in the next 10 years.
