This book gathers selected papers presented at the 19th ¿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. How to ensure effectiveness and reduce risk in urban public transport? What factors have an influence on activity-travel participation? What is the future of electromobility in the context of decisions to buy electric vehicles? How to support tourists travelling by people with special needs? This publication provides you with answers to these and many other questions. It also contains an abundance of numerical analyses based on significant data sets, illustrating the close affiliation between mobility and quality of life. 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).The conference was held on 18¿19 September 2023 in Katowice (Poland).

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.

This book presents many valuable tips for making decisions related to traffic flow in the transport networks. The knowledge base in practical examples, as well as the decision support systems described in this book, finds interest among people who face the daily challenge of searching for solutions to the problems of contemporary transport networks and systems. The publication is therefore addressed to local authorities related to the planning and development of development strategies for selected areas with regard to transport (both in the urban and regional dimension) and to representatives of business and industry, as people directly involved in the implementation of traffic engineering solutions. The tips contained in individual sections of the publication allow to look at a given problem in an advanced way and facilitate the selection of the appropriate strategy (among others, in relation to the evaluation of BEV and FCHEV electric vehicles in the creation of a sustainable transport systems, development of ecological public transport on the example of selected cities, impact of drivers' waiting time on the gap acceptance at median, uncontrolled T-intersections). In turn, due to a new approach to theoretical models (including, inter alia, the application of genetic algorithms for the planning of urban rail transportation system, comprehensive estimate of life cycle costs of new technical systems using reliability verification algorithm, application and comparison of machine learning algorithms in traffic signals prediction), the publication also interests scientists and researchers carrying out research in this area.
