DIRECTIVES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION ON INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

摘要

U radu se analiziraju sadašnje smjernice Europske unije o uvođenju inteligentnih transportnih sustava, kao i njihovo značenje za razvitak hrvatskog prometnog sustava. Naznačeni su bitni problemi suvremenog prometa i transporta: zagušenja i troškovi zagušenja, emisije štetnih plinova u cestovnom prometu, smrtni slučajevi i si. Prikazano je trenutno stanje razvoja inteligentnih transportnih sustava u Hrvatskoj na temelju prometne infrastrukture, industrije suvremene cestovne telematičke opreme i drugih potpornih djelatnosti (znanstvena istraživanja, obrazovne aktivnosti, sustav normizacije i sl.). Završni dio rada ukazuje na potrebe i potencijale za razvoj regionalne ITS arhitekture jugoistočne Europe.%The paper analyzes the current guidelines of the European Union on deployment of Intelligent Transport System, as well as their importance for the development of the Croatian transportation system. The crucial problems of modern transport and traffic are indicated as: congestions and congestion costs, harmful emissions in road transport, fatalities, etc. The current state of Intelligent Transport System development in Croatia is presented based on the transport infrastructure, modern road telematic industry, and other supporting activities (including scientific research, educational activities, standardization system, etc.). The final part of the paper deals with the need and potentials for the development of South East European regional ITS architecture.
