Decision-Making Problems of Collective Transport Development in Terms of Sustainable Urban Mobility

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents decision problems related to the development of transport systems facing planning challenges of sustainable urban mobility. Currently, city decision-makers must deal with growing difficulties related to the organisation of public transport systems. These difficulties involve the primary need for effective and ecological public transport systems and the capacity of transport service providers. These issues require a wide spectrum of research and analysis to determine expected future economic and social benefits from the implementation of environmentally friendly infrastructure investments and increasing capacity of service providers. The paper touches on the problem of the so-called green mobility in urban areas and the main management strategies associated with its development. A general formulation of the decision model, including boundary conditions and the criteria function using a sum of revenues from making the public transport offer more attractive, were proposed and discussed.
