Challenges and Solutions for Present Transport Systems

This book contains an abundance of numerical analyses based on significant data sets, illustrating the close affiliation between transport systems development and quality of life. How to ensure accessibility standards for public transport for people with special needs? Which multi-criteria methods can support the problem of vehicle selection in freight transport, and which ones should be taken into account in the case of problems related to regional rail transport? What kind of How to assess technical condition of transport means? What factors should be taken into account when assessing the quality of passenger service? How to include zero emission vehicles in the consideration of transport plans? This book provides you with answers to these and many other questions.

With regard to the research results discussed and the selected solutions applied, the book primarily addresses the needs of three target groups:

• Scientists and researchers (ITS field)
• Local authorities (responsible for the transport systems at the urban and regional level)

• Representatives of business (traffic strategy management) and industry (manufacturers of ITS components).
  This book gathers selected papers presented at the 18th Transport Systems. Theory and Practice Scientific and Technical Conference organised by the Department of Transport Systems, Traffic Engineering and Logistics at the Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology. The conference was held on 19-20 September 2022 in Katowice (Poland).

  Addresses proceedings of the 18th Scientific and Technical Conference Transport Systems. Theory & Practice 2022 Presents recent Challenges and Solutions for Present Transport Systems Written by experts in the field
