The paper describes the importance and the role of the subsystem of flexible transportation of passengers (paratransit) in the system of a public city transportation of passengers (PCTP). It is a sys- tem with several forms and can be defined by several parameters, but in large number of cities in the world it gains more importance in the PCTP system. This paper describes this system with its character- istics, i.e. its positive characteristics that lead to increased combined mobility of population in cities in the PCTP system, i.e. to decreased use of passenger cars.
The availability of real-time data on the state of railway facilities and the state-of-the art technologies for data collection and analysis allow transition to the fourth generation maintenance. It is based on the prediction of the facility functional safety and dependability and the risk-oriented facility management. The article describes an approach to assessing the risks of hazardous facility failures using the latest digital data processing methods. The implementation of this approach will help set maintenance objectives and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the reduction of railway facility managers’ expenditures.
