Department of transport telematics (O14)

Department 14 - illustration photoThe department of transport telematics monitors and creates the latest development trends in the field of intelligent transport systems (ITS). It is involved in projects at home and abroad. The works within this department integrate knowledge from the field of transport informatics, logistics, telecommunications, environment, traffic engineering, transport and urban planning and road safety.

Transport telematics helps smoothen the traffic flow, increase the safety of road traffic and protect the environment in the limited opportunities for the development of transport infrastructure and the current rapid rise in road traffic in recent years. This department is significantly involved in the transfer of new ITS knowledge through organizing of conferences and seminars aimed at familiarizing the professional public with new opportunities, which offers the field of transport telematics. Meetings with experts from around the world have positive impacts on the development within this field in the Czech Republic. Current happenings in this field are mapped by the web magazine ITS@revue, issued by the department of transport telematics.

This department cooperates mainly with telecommunication companies, transport departments of municipal authorities, the Police of the Czech Republic, insurance companies and public transport companies. It becomes their partner in addressing the implementation of new technologies, actively engages in activities of the Czech Association for Transport Telematics, of which the CDV is a founding member, and also cooperates with the Association of Public Transport Companies and the Technical Standards Commission for transport telematics (TNK 136) of the Czech Standards Institute.

Professional activity is focused on the following topics:

  • strategy and concept for application of telematics in transport systems,
  • ITS architecture, standardization in the field of road telematics,
  • technology for kilometre-based charging,
  • means of influencing the behaviour of traffic flow,
  • application of telematic systems for handicapped people in transport,
  • integration of information on real traffic situations in public transport.

Chief manager: Ing. Martin Pípa

Projects:

  • BLACKBOX – R&D project proposes using the black box and its data in road transport.
  • Research plan Information Technology in Transport – the project is focused on the possibilities of the development of technical means for intelligent transport systems in the Czech Republic and their implementation in particular means of transport.
  • NEV1 – R&D project aims to provide support for the movement of blind persons in towns and their use of public transport.
  • PRESTUP – R&D project addresses an automatic system for evaluation and penalties for traffic offences committed on the Czech territory.
  • Administration and operation of ITS data register. This project deals with promoting the use of national ITS architecture for the implementation of systems and with collecting, processing and supporting the use of data in the ITS data register.
  • UPTUN - Upgrading Existing Tunnels – upgrading existing tunnels.
  • CENTRAL LOCO – (6th Framework Programme) builds international cooperation on the basis of a network of logistics centres and professional workplaces in Central Europe.
  • COMPETE – an EU project dealing with the collection of data on congestions in all modes of transport in European countries. The output will be a comparison with the USA.
  • The project FREIGHTWISE (6th Framework Programme) deals with telematic support for multi-modal international freight transport chains.
