Autonomous car travel planning is increasingly gaining attention from scientists and professionals, who are addressing the integration of autonomous cars into the general urban transportation system. Autonomous car travel planning depends on the transport system infrastructure, the dynamic data, and their quality. The efficient development of travel depends on the development level of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS). Today, most cities around the world are competing with each other to become the smartest cities possible, using and integrating the most advanced ITS and C-ITS that are available. It is clear that ITS and C-ITS are occupying an increasing share of urban transport infrastructure, so the complex challenges of ITS and C-ITS development will inevitably need to be addressed, in the near future, by integrating them into the overall urban transport system. With this in mind, the authors proposed three autonomous car travel development concepts that should become a conceptual tool in the development of ITS and C-ITS.

Intelligent transport systems are essential factor of dealing with cities’ communication issues. Their implementation enables sustainable mobility planning. In consequence it reduces congestions and transport’s negative impact on the environment. In this article, with theoretical considerations in the background, has been presented piece of one the most intelligent transport system – OnTime application by Pixel.

China is a developing country with a great need for an expansion of its transport system. Its policy aim is, among others, stimulating the role of the car in its transport system. That creates problems similar to those found in nearly all other countries in the world: congestion and inefficiency of the road transport system, especially in and around cities. To deal with those problems and to speed up the process of solving them, the Chinese cities cooperate with experts from other countries. Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are seen as a key to solving urban congestion problems. A cooperation agreement has been signed between the Chinese government, certain Chinese cities, and the Netherlands Ministry of Transport that aims to exchange experts, execute shared research and development, and provide training. The shared research shows that many of the traffic problems in Chinese cities differ very little from problems found in European cities: many of the problems concern particularly the interfaces between high-capacity urban freeways and the urban road network. The technology transfer was executed partly by providing training to Chinese experts. The training program is based on two principles: training for impact and training the trainers. The impact concerns participants applying what was learned from training to their daily practice, and their improved ability to work on solving traffic problems. Course participants are stimulated to become trainers themselves. The first results of the Chinese–Netherlands ITS training center are very promising.

A well-functioning transport network is a key element of a successful economy. One of the biggest problems in transportation is the large number of vehicles, which leads to congestion. Traffic congestion negatively influences the social and economic environment: it creates pollution and causes many accidents. A variety of innovative technologies are being applied in all areas. Different countries use Intelligent Transport Systems to create a safer, more efficient, and sustainable transport system to monitor and manage traffic flow. The application of Intelligent Transport Systems helps solve problems in the transport sector: Intelligent Transport Systems helps manage traffic flows, reduce accident rates, environmental pollution, and inform drivers and passengers about the traffic situation. Consequently, Intelligent Transport System improves the efficiency of the transport system, the quality of services, increases mobility, reduces energy consumption, and reduces the negative impact of vehicles on the environment. As reported by the Department of Statistics data in Lithuania, the number of road vehicles in the Vilnius region increases every year. Traffic accidents remain constant, and long-lasting traffic jams occur. Due to these reasons, Vilnius and its residents incur economic costs, and the transport system is used inefficiently. This article examines the importance of Intelligent Transport System application in solving congestion, pollution and accidents in Vilnius. A cost-benefit analysis of the Automatic Incident Detection System installation in Vilnius is performed.

The article deals with the issues of innovative development of passenger transport through the introduction of IT technologies; intelligent transport systems in major cities of the world; the functions of the state in the creation and operation of intelligent transport systems. The article analyzes the legal framework of the Republic of Belarus, the state of information technologies in transport, and the need for their integration. A number of practical steps aimed at creating an intelligent transport system in Minsk are proposed.

The aim of the article is to present solutions in the field of intelligent transport systems used in Szczecin. The city of Szczecin, due to its location and communication routes, is an important element of the national transport system. The city's task is to provide all users with efficient mobility, not forgetting to maintain the principles of sustainable development. The way to meet these goals is the implementation of intelligent transport systems. The subject of the research presented in the article are the selected subsystems of the intelligent transport system operating in Szczecin. The analysis was made by verifying information provided by Variable Message Signs.

The road network constitutes the main part of the transport system for both passenger and freight traffic. Achieving a sustainable road transport system including multimodal terminals, autonomous vehicles, intelligent transport systems, infrastructure are considered to be important design areas. The efficient use of the transport system is essential in terms of economic, environmental and social sustainability. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods for optimizing the transportation process
