Abstract

Positive importance of a modernized and sustainable urban transport for the development of cities and agglomerations of the region is a key prerequisite to intensify activities to improve the sustainability of users of transport systems. Shaping contemporary balanced as much as possible urban transport systems in the region, should take advantage of the opportunities created by the solutions of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The considerations contained in the article confirms the importance of telematics as one means of sustainability of urban mobility.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The issue was heavily accentuated in [21]. This strategy involves the implementation of a competitive transport system that will increase mobility, remove barriers in key areas will increase employment. It will be significantly reduced Europe’s dependence on imported oil and reduced CO2 emissions.

  2. 2.

    Symbols: ++++ - the strongest relationships, + - the weakest relationships.

  3. 3.

    It is also considered a broader territorial scope of the project includes all the municipalities of the Central Subregion of Silesia.
