Course description: Conceptual differentiation of mobility and accessibility in urban areas. Technological characteristics and decomposition of urban and suburban traffic by: drive, movement, range, and specifications. Energy, spatial and economic aspects of urban trips. Technological characteristics of urban transport infrastructure. Transport demand characteristics related to different travel modes. Means of data collection in urban traffic. Characteristics of non-motorized travel modes (walking, cycling). Characteristics of taxi transportation, urban public passenger transport, on-demand transportation, motorized car journeys, carpooling, carsharing. Public transport for tourist rides. Delivery transport and goods distribution in urban areas - problems and potential solutions. Criteria for selecting appropriate urban transport mode. Public transport efficiency compared to other subsystems. Quality of service in public transport. Traffic problems for people with disabilities. Relations between theoretical and practical capacit of public transport lines. Modern methods and tools for vehicle scheduling and crew rostering. Multimodal transfer points in transit network. Connecting public transport with intercity acces points - railway stations, airports, ports, coach stations. Perspectives on public transport development. Models for integrating passenger transport (urban, suburban) and tariff unions. Standardization and interoperability in transport systems. Application of Intelligent Transport Systems in urban transport. Urban traffic control and management centres. Urban transport quality indicators and their evaluation.
