k bypass in the course of the national roads
number 16 and 65 has been completed. The bypass was constructed using the funds
of the Operational Programme Development of Eastern Poland.
Another project implemented from the Operational Programme Development of
Eastern Poland

Construction of 4.8 km long E ł

Olecko bypass 7.6 km in length in the course of the national road
number 65 is nearing completion. During 2012, two bridges on national roads have
been commissioned for use. In I

—

ł

awa, a new arch bridge was constructed on the
national road number 16 and in Braniewo, on the national road No. 54 the bridge
over the Pas ka river has been rehabilitated.

Based on the information obtained from GDDKiA branch in Olsztynie photo-
voltaic panels are applied in 95 locations. The speci

łę

cation for individual sections
of national roads in the region is presented in Table 2 .
In Warmi sko-Mazurskie voivodship, photovoltaic panels are used mainly with

warning signs. They are located in areas of open spaces at locations of crossings
(narrowing of road belt), pedestrian crossings and viaducts. Analysis of the use of
photovoltaics in the region con

ń

rms that its application on newly constructed or
modernised sections of roads (e.g. Go ł dap bypass) is justi ed.

5 Application of GIS Tools for Identification of Road
Infrastructure Elements Supplied with Solar Energy

5.1 Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

GIS is a system of software, hardware, data, personnel operating the system and
methods for data development, handling, processing and analysing [ 18 ]. The main
GIS functionalities include acquiring, verifying, collecting, integrating, processing
and sharing of spatial data (information on the geographical space).
