Integrated Quality Management System in Public Urban Traffic
Public urban traffic (PUT) requirements are based on the specific characteristics of the requirements themselves. The requirements reflect PUT problems common to big cities. These problems are traffic systems that are not up to the population growth and congestion caused by ever larger numbers of automobiles; problems aggravated by lack of funds to even begin to make positive changes. The result of these problems is that the users of public transit give up in frustration and turn to the automobile for their transportation needs. This leads to more cars on the road, more congestion and all its attendant problems. Public transit systems must then face the additional requirements of higher efficiency and environmental regulations intended to reduce the pollution made worse by all those cars. In this paper, acceptable traffic solutions are combined with an integrated quality management system based on the ISO 9001 and ISO 14000 standards. With these elements integrated into a single system, high quality solutions to PUT problems become possible.
