Influence of the intelligent transport systems reliability on the use of the road network

The Intelligent Transport Systems used in the public transport can be described in a following manner: it is a collection of properly designed complex devices, which create island systems, followed by their integration that creates one, centrally managed traffic control system in the whole road, or city area. Authors will present here information regarding the usability of the above mentioned systems for the interested parties. Reliability is an important factor in such systems, as the ITS that consist of many complex objects must be characterized by low level of errors. The utility value of the ITS drops significantly in case of large damages intensity in devices that are part of the system. Deliberations presented here are based on experiences with installation and exploitation of the ITS at class A and S roads.
