Transport system integration models

Traffic policy of the EU is based on the principle of transport offer integration both within individual systems and in subsystems-modes of transport. Transport system of Serbia still doesn’t function as one and it is not integrated which as a consequence has low quality of service and high transport cost. Deintegration is present on all levels, starting from the individual modes of transport, over physical, logical and tariff integration. This project has a goal to develop optimal model of integration in a real transport system. Integration will include road, rail and river subsystems and with this integration multimodality of the transportation system will be accomplished. The model will include physical, dynamical and tariff integration. Physical integration includes integration of networks, passenger connection points, reloading terminals, information system etc. Dynamic integration includes adjustment of working hours of subsystems, harmonization of time tables, joint center for traffic management, etc. Tariff integration includes forming of a „tariff club“, single ticket system, single control system. Developed integration model will be applicable for the transport system of Serbia and it will enable rational use of existing transport capacities in the conditions of sustainable development. In this manner development of transport systems, means for organization and traffic management will be able which will define new quality standard of the transport system of Serbia.
