Innowacje w logistyce miejskiej – ITS jako usługa
Innovations in city logistics – ITS as a service

Summary/Abstract: The quality of activities undertaken in the city logistics management is of particular importance due to progressive urbanization processes resulting in increased congestion. Congestion in transport affects the quality of life and residing in the city. Its limitation is thus an important determinant influencing both: the level of expenditure budgets and the improvement of urban transport flows of people and goods. In this context, any innovations to improve transportation with low-impact on city government budget, are extremely important. The aim of this paper is to present the potential of ITS solutions in the cloud computing service model as a method of congestion reduction. This concept is shown in the background of Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) statutory research conducted by Logistics Department in 2012-2013 through the surveys of 16 representatives of local authorities directly involved in the implementation of projects to reduce the level of congestion in voivodeship cities in Poland. The most important finding of the analysis is a marginal use of the potential of ITS undertaken for managing these projects in the Polish local governments in particular to the opportunities offered to the public sector by cloud computing model.
