In recent years this busy hub was reconstructed extensively from different EU-funds. Thebus and trolleybus stop direction Újszeged was reconstructed from South Great PlainRegional Funds, using conventional layout in 2010. The tram stops and the tram tracks werereconstructed using Transport Operational Program (Cohesion Fund) in 2011. Here 30 cmhigh elevated platforms were used to give accessibility for disabled persons. The height ofthe platforms were in synch with the floor height of the new low-floor trams giving access forpeople in wheel-chairs without any external help.The trolleybus stop at Híd utca and the overhead catenary of the trolleybus was reconstructedas a part of the Central Europe Trolley project in 2011 as a pilot action of demonstrating highspeed trolleybus corridor elements. The stop was constructed with new elevated (20 cmhigh) platforms introducing special kerb elements to make the positioning of the trolleybuseseasy. If a low-floor trolleybus uses its kneeling ability, a disabled person in a wheel-chair isable to access the trolleybus without help as well.Fig. 11 - Overhead construction plan, showing the trolleybus layout at Híd utca area as wellas the tram-trolleybus crossing at Széchenyi térAlso thanks to the EU co-funded projects, all overhead elements of the trams and trolleybuseswere refurbished in recent years, making it possible to cross in every direction at highspeed, avoiding malfunctions and trolley derailments which often happened prior to thereconstruction. Six tram-trolleybus crossings, eight trolleybus switches and two trolleybustrolleybuscrossings were built in, all high-speed elements. In case of any disturbance introlleybus traffic, the reconstructed overhead loop makes it possible to reorganize thetrolleybus routes from every direction.In the near future, traffic light influence will be introduced in order to enable the trams tocross the junction faster. All reconstructed stops obtained stylish stop signs which alreadyhave connection to the optical communication network of the public transport companySZKT. All these masts incorporate a place for digital information tables; furthermore a webterminalwas placed in the area for tourist information systems. These devices will be put inat the end of 2013.38
3.2.2.2. B+R Trolleybus intermodality in SzegedModern trolleybuses are getting more flexible, thus becoming a possible solution forelectromobility in public transport. Trolleybuses are the most environmentally friendly interms of local pollution, noise and vibration emission, and can serve as a high passengercapacity route in a trolleybus corridor as well as a feeder route in a few km long overheadfree mode in a low-density residential area. The combination of these features can createa combined network to support all capacity needs of especially mid-size cities.An important quest of any public transport is to reach all areas of the city, and at least giveresidents the opportunity to reach the public transport within a short time. While on footthe conventional wisdom is to serve a residential area of around 500 m radius, it can bemultiplied if there is a possibility of combining a bicycle ride with public transport. Especiallyat the outer termini of trolleybus routes there is a way to attract new customers with B+Rparking areas. It is advisable to create the B+R station to have higher comfort level: e.g. withroofs for rain protection, lights, and security cameras.In recent years, the number of electric bikes or electric mopeds has been increasing. Anopportunity at trolleybus termini is the usage of the existing DC power feeder line, whichwas explicitly designed for high amperage (a typical trolleybus takes round 400-500 Amperesby accelerating). However the power lines are only used for relatively short times at theirhighest output. The termini of trolleybuses with B+R parking can also become future chargingstations for electric bikes.Fig. 12 - Bike and Ride terminal in Szeged39
