Abstract The development of the Public Transport (PT) services in the last decade is characterized by wide implementation of various information systems and technologies, which cover different transport services, such as traffic planning, traffic network monitoring, management of operation of PT fleets, providing information to the passengers, ticketing payment, etc. The article considers the research part of a large EU-funded project POLITE aimed at public transport sector and increasing the awareness of infomobility services and PT attractiveness through the application of identified Good Practices and Best Practices. The objective of this paper is presentation of the methodology of benchmarking and assessment of Good Practices and choice of the best one on the basis of the multi-criteria comparative analysis. For assessment of Good Practices the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is applied.

Freestone, D. S. (Dept. Clinical Immunology, The Wellcome Research Laboratories, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 3BS, England), D. F. Rowlands and J. Prydie. History of infection and immunity to rubella. Am J Epidemiol. 96: 70–73, 1972.—In 13-year-old schoolgirls, good correlations were found between a recent history of rubella and the presence of hemag-glutinating inhibiting (HI) antibody, but the correlations declined progressively as the history of rubella became more remote. These findings suggest a progressive fall in antibody titer, or diminished historical accuracy with passage of time. However, the lower geometric mean HI antibody titers in those groups of girls with less recent histories of infection support the first probability. Furthermore, in seronegative schoolgirls with a history of rubella more than four years earlier, the seroconversion rate to subcutaneously administered live attenuated rubella vaccine was lower than that seen in seronegative girls with no past history of rubella.
