This may be a problem when the city dynamically increases its volume and must keep up with the urban communication infrastructure. Tram communication usually occurs in cities with a high degree of population. The tram transports three times more passengers and its durability is three times longer than the bus if it is properly garaged. Read about the most modern tram depot in Poland.

In The Poznan, more than half a million inhabitants live and during the year Poznan trams visiting more than half a million passengers. Statistically looks like each of the residents once a year drove his tram. The city has 225 rail vehicles. So one tram carries around 20.000 people in the year. Imagine where to park all these trams protecting them from human devastation? It is worth emphasizing that a new tram costs 8 million PLN (2 mil USD). Where would you park your car if it cost so much?

In 2015, a new trumy depot was put into use. This is one of the three depot in Poznan. The new depot can accommodate around 100 tram in the indoor parking hall. The area of ??the depot takes into account the rapid extension of the track with a further 50 parking spaces on the open space. But this is not the capacity of the depot is the most interesting, but the best organized system for the management of rail movement in Poland.

When the trams return from the route and end their work, they must pass through the measurement track automatically checking “flat wheelplaces”. Steel trolley wheels must be perfectly round, therefore, in the Poznań depot to control their control, they attach great attention. Next, the trams enter the Entrance Hall where his inspection takes place (OC – Everyday Evaluation). A chassis survey is reviewed, cleaning and very important filling with sand brake containers. The depot consumes a monthly 30 tonnes of special sand imported from the south of Poland and can never miss it. From 18:00 to 21:00 there is the biggest movement here because of the trams returning from its routes. Trams set up on three tracks and the review is made by 4 people and each for your actions only 3-5 minutes. Detected faults are entered into the system and the tram is directed directly to the Repair Hall or to the Parking Hall.

The parking hall is in the form of a bent curve to accommodate the most wagons on the available length. Each tram has an automatic temperature support system at a safe level for electos and +5 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the parking hall has such an architectural structure that provides in winter maintenance of the temperature +5 degrees Celsius without accessic heating. This is very important to be aware that the tram is a typically electrical device with circuits covered with a network of cables with a total length of 1 km and is very sensitive to moisture.

The Repair Hall in Poznan Franow is also adapted to 45 meters trams. It has a cargo lathe in which there is no need to remove the tram from the tram. There were a lot of devices that I have no idea, but the most interesting seemed next to the Repair Hall of the trial test. A trial track is a path of a simple track, which has 400 meters long. You can safely accelerate the tram to its maximum speed usually this is a 70 km/h and check how its braking system behaves. From the test track, the Modertrans from Biskupice, who approves (test), uses its new tram models.

In the area of the depot, the traffic of trams is precisely registered. In the depot tracks, which have a total of 12.5 km long lengths, three types of radio, load and electromagnetic sensors are mounted. Thanks to this, the keeper is known to the location of each tram. Trams moving on the monitor colled worms. The kepper can direct them to 109 tram switches. In this way, unforeseen blocking of tracks are avoided. In the case of sensors failure, the kepper can use the camera. The cameras in the depot is over 100. There is a difference of GPS to trams moving around the city. The depot employs 4 kepeers and tram traffic monitoring is run around the clock. All this to reduce the unnecessary loss of time in tram movement after the depot. Everything is supposed to take place smoothly and without hindrance.

I will admit that technical philosophy of good labor organization translates into good relations with people. Poznan depot Fanowo is a company with which I had the best contact. Surprising that Poles can. Here a foreign person, from the exterior, does not mean an enemy as often in Poland meets. Management depot it is prepared for guests visits, it has ready educational and information program. This is a pattern of marketing that we will not find in any other company in Poland. This is due to the other manager of the Roman Ostant, which portier expressed itself by a good man, this is the effect of the high Commission of Piotr Wojciechowski which showed me after the depot and the openness of the press spokesman of the Agnieszka Smigulecka.

The city of Poznań suffered the construction cost of the entire depot in the outlet of 300 million PLN (75 mil USD). Economically, this will never return. But the biggest investment is working for depot people who can prove that the investment is needed and is the best investment in Poland, because they are available for every Pole (Brux).
