One of the main tasks of transport is moving people or goods to specific places using appropriate means of transport. In recent years on the roads we can see increase number of private cars, trucks or public transport. The consequence of this situation is a decrease road safety, related to the lack of an adequate level of caution by drivers. The increasing number of accidents contributes to the costs related to their consequences e.g.: costs of removing damages, treatment costs. City authorities implement a variety of solutions aimed at increasing road safety. These activities include the reorganization of intersections, as well as the use of telematics tools, i.e. the introduction of systems allowing the identification of vehicles and the measurement of their speed. The article presents the concept of improving safety on the selected section of road located on the Duńska street. The article is financed under the grant for the Young Scientist 3/MN/IZT/2018..

The article analyzes the city's logistics development strategies and its public transport, especially bus traffic. Statistical analysis of all road transport in the European Union (EU) has been carried out. The most important reasons for the tragic road accidents in Poland have been mixed up. Key elements of active safety and passive safety of buses and road safety were analyzed. Characterized key indicators of road safety in the EU and the probability of bus incidents. The impact on the ecology of the city of road transport was analyzed in terms of the significance of exhaust emissions of various bus designs and emissions of other pollutants.

Abstract To ensure that road transport safety measures are effective and efficient, forecast tools should be applied to help with strategic decision-making. Models of road safety measures provide such tools. The paper presents a proposed macro model of road accident casualties. The proposed models of road accident fatalities are built from a database covering more than fifty countries worldwide. The concepts of model design can be used for developing factor-based models to describe strategic societal risk on the road networks of selected countries worldwide. One of the concepts was applied to model the number of road accident fatalities. The analyses used Smeed’s model and its modifications developed for the needs of this analysis.

Abstract. The global economic development facilitates the process of urbanization, during which more private cars are used, resulting in traffic jams and also more air pollution. It is important to provide an energy-saving public transport means in order to relieve pressure on road transport, reduce emission, and even to offer a new alternative of transport to non-local tourists in their traveling, and public bicycles are such a choice. This article investigates into the public bicycle system in Hangzhou, an extension of the existing public transport, analyzes current utilization of public bicycles, problems we have already encountered, well as suggestions and countermeasures for further improvement, in the hope of providing a good example to other cities in the world in their public transport development

The road safety management methodology should be based on a system approach. This means that the road transport must be formalized as a complex system (CS), and then safety can be interpreted as an emergent feature of such a system. Road accidents should be interpreted as "organizational accidents". They should be studied using concepts such as "normal accident theory" (NAT) and "highly reliable organization" (HRO). The main purpose of the article is to show the usefulness of these concepts for the road safety and risk management, especially in Polish conditions. The system approach to road safety research (and transport safety) will allow for the better safety results.
