Abstract Technologies that use transport telematics offer tools for strengthening urban transport systems. They rationalise the use of the existing infrastructure and transport management systems, increase their reliability and safety and improve the transport behaviour of residents, while reducing the operating costs of transport. The main reason for using Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is the need to implement measures to reduce the negative effects of growing motorization and improve the quality of transport services in response to the fluctuating transport demand. The authors present ways to improve the reliability and safety of transport in the street network by using ITS solutions.

Abstract The possibilities of expanding the transport infrastructure in cities are considerably limited, as urban areas of the municipalities are built-up. The current infrastructure is no longer sufficient to meet standard transport needs in cities, as there has been a growing trend in recent years for both manufactured and sold vehicles. The reason that vehicles are manufactured is the high demand for the purchase of these vehicles, which clearly reflects the subsequent trend of the traveling public using individual transport modes. In individual chapters, this article evaluates the simultaneous use of intelligent transport systems in the Slovak cities and, at the same time, points out further possibilities of SMART elements implementation in transport, which can ensure more efficient transport processes in agglomerations. Given the circumstances that transport infrastructure is no longer sufficient and the vehicles are stationary, which has adverse effects on arrival time as well as on the environment and the quality of life in the cities, the manuscript deals with this issue in particular.

The object of research is urban transport in Krakow. The road users are drivers and passengers of combustion vehicles, rail vehicles, electric vehicles and those powered by muscle power, as well as pedestrians. Everyone has the right to use public roads, but under certain conditions. The city’s goal is to provide such infrastructure and enact laws that will enable them to co-exist. The Management Board of Municipal Infrastructure and Transport is tasked with providing such organization of traffic, including public transport, that the city will be passable and passengers’ requirements are met. The journeys should be smooth and without major disturbances. An innovative solution in the field of transport services in passenger traffic is the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).

The general aspects of the business universe, which consists of two different types of space that have a strategy of red and blue oceans, are revealed. The theoretical basis of the formation of a strategy for the development of ecologically oriented transport and logistics clusters of the blue ocean is substantiated. The mutual influence of environmental aspects, transport and logistics clusters and intelligent transport systems is argued. The relevance of introducing intelligent transport systems to improve the quality of transport services has been proved and their feasibility has been determined. A business model of the development strategy of environmentally oriented transport and logistics clusters is proposed. Keywords strategy, competitive advantages, value, ecologization, intelligent transport systems, transport and logistics clusters.

Platformization affects the entire urban transport sector, effectively blurring the division between private and public transport modalities; existing public–private arrangements have started to shift as a result. This chapter analyzes and discusses the emergence of a platform ecology for urban transport, focusing on two central public values: the quality of urban transport and the organization of labor and workers’ rights. Using the prism of platform mechanisms, it analyzes how the sector of urban transport is changing societal organization in various urban areas across the world. Datafication has allowed numerous new actors to offer their bike-, car-, or ride-sharing services online; selection mechanisms help match old and new complementors with passengers. Similarly, new connective platforms are emerging, most prominently transport network companies such as Uber and Lyft that offer public and private transport options, as well as new platforms offering integrated transport services, often referred to as “mobility as a service.”

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.

Modern telecommunications techniques allow for continuous transmission of information from vehicles to dispatch centres during the operation process. The information included in this transmission may contain diagnostic data that make it possible to monitor the state of responsible components of the vehicle construction. The article presents the issues related to the analysis of the vehicle operation process including information received with the use of a CAN bus. The model of the vehicle operation process was presented, and the diagnosis state was taken into account. The use of transport telematics systems and intelligent transport systems in transport allow for the rolling stock profiling at the next stage. Owing to the rolling stock profiling, operational databases powered by a telematics interface are created. This, in turn, will allow to carry out the operational application process along with further optimisation of the operation process.

The intensification of public transport in urban areas due to increased mobility at the regional and state levels, discrepancies between urban areas with the same population and the lack of statistics related to the efficiency and quality of public transport services are the main factors of our work. It is necessary to draw boundaries between the quality of services and the performance indicators of the public transport system. The quality of services is the subjective result of many intangible variables. The quality of service can be approached from four sides: from the point of view of the passenger, the performance of the vehicle, the specialized passenger transportation company, and the Government. Accessibility, comfort and convenience-these are the main indicators that should be evaluated by the population as having high ratings for the good quality of urban transport services. The tool used to collect the data is the preference survey. Keywords: service quality, public transport, evaluation, efficiency, methods, passenger, survey
