Forecasting models were built on the basis of data from the period from January 2010 to April 2013, obtained from the website of the National Polish Bank. The important objective of the study was to use the simplest exponential smoothing methods. Another important element of the study was the conduct of a comparative analysis of the quality of forecasts. To assess the quality of forecasts, six measures of statistical description were used: mean error, mean absolute error, maximum absolute error, root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error, median absolute percentage error and maximum absolute percentage error.

In order to address this goal, Delphi forecasting method was utilized in the Polish-nationwide study with 150 invited experts. Paper presents results of research project dealing with development of directions of road pavement technologies with regards to the en vironmental aspects. As a result of the analyses, it was concluded that binding materials with improved viscoelastic range (often with modifications) would continue to play a leading role. Furthermore, according to the experts, the technologies that e nable to monitor the state of road pavement in a continuous manner will be used to a greater range. Introduction of sensors into th e pavement network will lead to the construction of "smart" roads while the spread of na...

Original visualization and roadmaps for selected nanotechnologies are showcased. The creation of roadmaps was preceded by technology mapping and the selection of priority technologies, for which technology characteristics sheets were developed. Human resources (skills), financial resources, and tangible assets were a basis for the creation of the roadmaps specifying the development of priority nanotechnologies in the studied region (Podlaskie, Poland). The development of the technologies described in the roadmaps is stimulated by the R&D domain, which constitutes one of the roadmap layers. Potential technology application areas form the background for the “market” layer of the roadmaps. Segments related to the general development of a particular technology in time are additional elements enriching the roadmaps. All layers were presented in three-time perspectives. The conducted analysis served as a basis for the integration of the selected priority nanotechnologies into four nanotechnology development scenarios of the region. The obtained results contributed to the formulation of the Regional Nanotechnology Development Strategy. The research was conducted in a framework of the “Technological foresight ‘NT FOR Podlaskie 2020’ Regional strategy of nanotechnology development” project.

The results planned to be achieved under the article have not been reflected in previous scientific studies. Until now, no research has been carried out to assess this technology regarding heterogeneous criteria. The existing research results only concern the study of the acceptability of the technologies used by older people to improve their quality of life. The opinions of prospective potential users were not considered as well as their age and place of posting or education. Neither were marketing, social and ethical aspects, competitiveness or innovation. The author will use the proprietary methodology of prospective technology analysis (PAT) to analyse and evaluate the technology. This methodology allows assessing the current state of technology. It enables providing knowledge on characterist...

The modern approach of predicting the future of technology, taking into account the multidimensionality of the environment, is, among other things, the Future-Oriented Technology Analysis (FTA). Designing the FTA research procedure is a complex process, both in organizational and methodological terms. The catalogue of methods that can be used in this process is extensive and constantly open. However, in the source literature the rules for the selection of methods appropriate for the type of research were not specified. The ways of combining methods in the research process were also missing. The main aim of this article was to present the author’s classification of methods of future-oriented technology analysis and indicate the possibilities of its applicat...

On the basis of the bibliometric analysis of scientific articles, research subareas related to the technology analysis were selected. Relationships between earlier executed research in this field were determined. Taking into account the obtained map of relationships, the possibility of the use of technology analysis was indicated. Also, methods used to analyse the current state of technology and concepts used for the prospective technology analysis were identified. Then, the concepts of predicting the technology development were discussed and compared. The conclusions from the conducted study can be used as the basis for determining the critical directions for the development of research areas related to the technology analysis.

Next, with regard to the RES technology, routing design phases were synthetically characterized and illustrated. Further, a general diagram of the renewable energy technologies route development was presented. The presented proposal of the route of the RES energy technologies should allow for coordination of the development of the technical potential of renewable energy sources, and development of paths of implementation of the desired vision for technology development of renewable energy sources with a horizon for a dozen years or so.

The quality of public transport affects the demand for services and the number of customers. The concept of quality is a complex concept, encompassing all components of both services as well as the entire management process. In order to assess the quality of services, companies should carry out relevant studies. The aim of this study was to assess the satisfaction of passengers using the services of the Białystok Public Transport.

The changes resulted in infrastructure transformations and determined the shape and functioning of the centers of modern life. Present continually increasing urban growth, complicates the free movement of goods and cargo flows in cities. It affects their dysfunctional nature, generating phenomenon in the form of transport congestion. The aim of research is the approximation of this problem. The study will be done on the example of the transportation system condition in the urban area of Białystok.

The first part presents the definition of customer service and logistics companies, which have been studied in this regard. Subsequently, these companies were analyzed for levels of customer service. The first was Tradis Ltd. engaged in the distribution of goods on Polish territory. The second was the Raben Group. The company provides comprehensive logistics services worldwide. The third company is the ESA, which has also a wide range of bid, but its activity is concentrated mainly in Central Europe. The choice of these three companies was not only dictated by the need to compare the level of customer service. Also examined whether the level is higher in companies that offer comprehensive services in logistics or in those that focus only on one area of the industry. The results of this work may be useful to anyone who wishes to use the services of one of the companies and looking for its evaluation. A comparative analysis can benefit the people who are considering working with one of the companies reported. List of available elements of customer service can help select one of the companies without having to compare their level of service.

Taking into consideration the importance of the region (transit location and connection with national roads) a lot of investments should be made. Modernization of the most important roads in the city is associated with huge costs. This was the reason why the city authorities have decided to gain support from the European Funds. Money from the European budget are the basis of financing the infrastructure projects. In this article available information from official portals of Operational Program and city Council of Bialystok was used. Obtained information brought about an analysis of the major projects made in 2007-2013. Assessment of effective spending of the European Funds in Bialystok and Podlaskie in comparison to the other local governments in Poland was also an important task. Information shows that Bialystok is one of the most attractive cities in the eastern Poland in terms of investment. Granted funds helped to reduce road traffic and contributed to the increase of Bialystok inhabitants life standard. This is the reason to continue the financial support from European Funds.
