Entrance to the town center for an additional fee may also occur in Poland. – From conversations that we conducted, we know that at least three of the city would be willing to accept such a solution. I’m talking about the capital, Cracow and Sopot – he revealed in the #dziejesienazywo Marek Cywiński of Kapsch Telematics Services. Tests such a solution even already underway. For a system to be implemented, however, first needs to be changed to the right.
Kapsch has introduced a restricted area already in dozens of cities in Europe. The leaders in this respect are Italy, which thus blocking the entrance to the historic centers of their cities. Similar solutions are also in London and Gothenburg.
– This is to control the supply and demand access to the central infrastructure in the city – said Cywiński in #dziejesienazywo.
As explained, the system involves mounting cameras that record vehicles entering the zone. It is also possible to insert the exemptions – eg. To the center could enter for free only drivers in cars registered in a given district. The others would have to pay. In what way?
– It could be an e-wallet, SMS, call the customer service center. These possibilities of communication is more. May be deferred payment, which drove and I have over a specific period of pay – explained Cywiński, adding that he does not need any additional equipment.
It also printed example of cities that have introduced a fee for entry to the city, what really liked the local communities. In Poland, such solutions could restrict movement and reduce eg. Smog.
The tests of such a system are led by Kapsch and Warsaw University of Technology in the capital on the street New World. For years, it is excluded from the movement – can move across it only taxis and buses. The purpose of the test is to examine the scale of violations of the prohibition of entry for vehicles not designed for the appropriate permissions. Motorists are not issued mandates.
Cywiński reminded that although among the local government is the will of the introduction of fees for entry to the center, then for the time being they have their hands tied.
– The law does not allow it. Changing the law probably in 2003 meant that the cities received the right to collect the benefit for the use of urban infrastructure in the so called. Act of parking – said Cywiński.
