Tools used in intelligent transport systems of city logistics

Summary/Abstract: Cities are large areas with numerous buildings between which there is an extensive road infrastructure. A society lives in them, which in order to be able to function must move. The need to move, combined with a high population density in the city, causes a lot of traffic – especially road traffic. Improving road traffic flow and reducing road congestion enables the use of intelligent transport systems in city logistics. The aim of the article is to present the tools used in intelligent transport systems of urban logistics. The research methodology used is the development of a diagram in which individual ITS tools were assigned to the appropriate link of the transport environment. Due to the growing requirements of people traveling by public transport, telematics is an important element. The article presents the tools that the passengers of the research facility can use, and thus traveling becomes more effective and comfortable. The use of appropriate tools of intelligent transport systems means not only following the principles of proper and effective functioning of urban logistics areas, but also increased comfort of travelers and improvement of road traffic safety. Research on increasing capacity in cities is an important topic in urban logistics. The need to conduct research on urban agglomerations results from the systematic increase in the demand for effective movement of people in urban agglomerations. The scope of entities is a narrow research group, however, the indicated elements belonging to intelligent transport systems translate into the possibility of using them in most urban agglomerations.
