Title: Sustainability of Trucks Parking in European Union

Abstract:

The contribution deals with a problem of road trucks parking sustainability. Authors in the first part introduce a review of available approaches to establishment of the parking places in the world. Next in own research they identify problems of the sustainability of present condition of trucks parking places. The aim of contribution is to answer the research question whether is the infrastructure of car parks sustainably built following the development of road freight transport output in the frame of European Union. There are processed the proposals of parking sustainability in European Union securing in the other part of contribution.

Title: Communication Management in the New Generation of Coaches

Abstract:

Our approach is part of a wide work developed in the context of Smart Cities and Internet of Things (IoT). Competition among coach agencies brought information technologies to this segment by using concept of Media on Demand (MoD) to better serve customers. These coaches must update their content and send reports on regular basis. Several priorities are critical such as security and minimal data transfer (amount of data). We proposed a new fully configurable approach in communication between coaches and a central cloud system. As the bandwidth is ongoing topic in this field, with our solution we manage to use an optimal compress algorithm to specific sets of files which are to be transferred. Compression rate may vary from 0,2 % (image files) to 87,39 % (text files). If the set of rules for compression is set, we can focus on security. Depending on data sensitivity there are several protocols and networks which can be used for transportation during coach’s ride, and they took from 1,49 seconds up to 36,61 seconds for the same data sample. With all this together, we manage to create a new solution for coaches with MoD with minimal overhead.
