Jerzy Mikulski. Activities of Transport Telematics

13th International Conference on Transport Systems Telematics, Springer 2013. - 501 pages.Transport plays a vital role in the economic development of any country. It is a well-established fact that a weak transport network hampers economic and social progress. Therefore, in these tough economic times, investments in the transport sector can benefit the whole of society by providing access to markets, jobs, education, healthcare and other services, by lowering the cost of moving
goods, and by saving lives and avoiding injuries in unnecessary accidents.
Investments in the transport infrastructure, including investments in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), stimulate economic growth and enhance trade and mobility of people. It can be said that smart investments in trans-port are very effective for running the economy.
