Security Strategy of Intelligent Transport?s Telematic Systems

This book is a monograph devoted to one of the key challenges of modern transport – the safety strategy for telematics systems being used in the movement of people and cargo. In this sense, the publication aligns with current research trends related to the dynamic development of information and telecommunications technologies which are shaping new operating models for transport and logistics companies.

The authors address issues of strategic transport management, focusing on the role of telematics as a tool supporting efficiency, automation, and coordination of operations. Particular emphasis is placed on the issues of risk and safety – which, in an era of growing transport volumes and intensifying competition in the transport market, are becoming a prerequisite for the reliability and sustainable development of the entire industry.

The book demonstrates that the safe use of telematics systems is not only a technological requirement, but also a social and environmental one. It is in line with European Union policy, which prioritizes environmental protection, improving social well-being, and reducing road accidents, which constitute one of the greatest threats to civilization.

Combining theoretical and practical perspectives, this monograph offers a comprehensive overview of the implementation of secure telematics solutions. It is a valuable resource for transport researchers and students, as well as for logistics company managers and decisionmakers responsible for infrastructure development and transport policy.
