Sustainable Solutions for SCM

in September 2015. The construction of the old town bypass is planned. The Road Laboratory of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways is located in Mokronos Dolny near Wroclaw. Wroclaw is an important railway node. The most important passenger station is Wroclaw Main Railway Station. In contrast, Wroclaw Brochow station is the second largest freight station in Poland, and Wroclaw Gądow station is a major freight station as well. The city is the host for the international airport Wroclaw-Strachowice (Copernicus Airport Wroclaw) operated by LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Germanwings, Ryanair, Wizz Air and SAS. About 11 kilometres from the city centre, there is Wroclaw-Szymanow Airport, and about 25 km to the southwest from the city centre there is Miroslawice Private Airport. Urban public transport in Wroclaw makes use of twenty-two permanent tram lines. The extensive tram network is one of the biggest in the country and is maintained by the Wroclaw Municipal Transport Company. Bus transport in the city is also mainly provided by them (58 daytimes and 13 night routes), while the routes between Wroclaw and neighbouring municipalities are serviced by Polbus-PKS, DLA, Sevibus, Trako, Marco Polo and several other smaller private operators. On 1 st October 2013, a cable car across the Oder River was opened, and its role is to connect the buildings of Wroclaw University of Technology at Wybrzeze Wyspianskiego with the buildings of the educational and research complex Geocentrum at Na Grobli. The crossing operates all year round. In Wroclaw there are approximately 240 km of cycle lanes. In June 2011, the self-service bicycle rental network was launched, the so-called Wroclaw City Bike. In the city, there are active taxi companies as well. [24] According to a comprehensive traffic study conducted in 2010–2011: • The number of vehicles entering and exiting fromWroclaw during the day is 190,000. • The share of motor transport in all journeys is 41.56%, public transport 35.26%, bicycles 3.56%, pedestrians 18.69%, other 0.93%. Current, disadvantages of ITS in Wroclaw: • The lack of a comprehensive ITS system approach in terms of urban development ideas and strategies for the development of the city’s transport system. • The cost of the system compared with the effects (approx. 110 million zloty [€28 million]). • A reckless approach to many issues associated with the construction of the ITS system, e.g. the implementation of the concept of a “fast tram”, with priority passage through intersections, in practice adversely affected the flow and reliability of public bus transport; buses and other vehicles were stopped by priority passing trams. • Lack of connections or coordination of ITS system with other concepts, e.g. development of the suburban railway network. • Not fully automated by restrictions imposed by administrative decisions which control the traffic light cycle time signalling.
