The level of development of the country's transport infrastructure is one of the most important civilizational, geographical, economic and social characteristics of the state. The article is based on the materials of a scientific study that analyzes the final data of a comprehensive observation of the living conditions of the Russian population (for urban localities) in the field of transport services and transport security of the population according to research indicators for 2018. Analysis of data from the comprehensive monitoring of the population's living conditions, conducted by the Russian Federal Agency for statistics once every two years, contributes to a better understanding of local and regional processes in the field of public satisfaction with the level and quality of transport services, availability of various types of vehicles and public transport. In General, according to the comprehensive monitoring of the population's living conditions, the indicators of transport services and transport security of the population differ significantly in urban localities of different populations, especially when comparing the indicators of small and medium-sized urban localities (up to 100 thousand people) with those of larger cities. The article draws conclusions about the differences between urban localities of different population density in terms of public transport services and the availability of various types of personal transport. The use of personal cars and motorcycles is significantly higher in small urban localities, which, in our opinion, is due to the lack of development of public transport in them. Most often, private transport is used by middle-aged people (about 45 years), as well as large families. Taxi services are also more popular in localities with less traffic (this can probably be explained by the weaker development of public transport in them). The share of the population using public transport naturally increases from 46 % to 72–73 %, and it increases simultaneously with the growth of the population in urban localities (from 50 to 500 thousand inhabitants). However, this indicator begins to decline slightly as the number of residents of urban localities increases.

The paper presents the possibility, necessity, ideology and essence of the entropy method of estimating the orderliness of the transportation process in relation to urban public transport. Examples of numerical definition of the relative entropy of the transportation process on typical public transport routes are given. The paper shows that the level of orderliness of the transportation process, identified by relative entropy, is determined by the specifics of the spatial location of public transport routes in terms of the urban area and mainly depends on the quality of users of public transport services.

The subject of research is the global economy perceived through the prism of its conditions and transport challenges that its development is currently generating. The author justifies the hypothesis that transport being a lever of globalization processes and a stimulator of the development of the global economy requires improvement, and in all dimensions of its activity on an international scale. For this purpose, basic barriers and threats of transport and logistics that are or may appear in the global economy in the near future were identified. The potential effects resulting from this reason for the global economy and its selected sectors, mainly trade were also indicated. It also identifies actions that should be taken to eliminate or reduce existing transport barriers, including mainly infrastructure barriers, which should lead to an increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of the transport sector on a global scale. The publication uses the studies and reports of international organizations such as the WTO, WB, WEF regarding the subject under study. The obtained research results allowed to formulate conclusions that, firstly, the transport infrastructure and low quality of transport services are still a significant barrier to the development of many economies – including the world’s leading ones – and, secondly, that it is necessary to undertake coherent, internationally coordinated stimulating activities for transport development on a global scale. Transport is becoming a factor determining further growth of competitiveness and ensuring the expected level of facilitation in world trade and the required efficiency of functioning of global supply chains.

The City

A properly functioning public transport is one of the most important components of urban mobility for the population. Due to spatial inhomogeneity and overall socio-economic differences within a city, there are often considerable disproportions in the quality of transport services within its districts. Also, the city of Krakow is no exception in this case. For a comparison of public transport accessibility in 18 Krakow districts, 7 major quantitative and 5 minor indicators were created. These indicators include the most important characteristics of transport services such as accessibility, frequency, connectivity of connections, and ratios of tram public transport subsystem. The resulting values give a fairly comprehensive picture of the quality of the transport services. Overall higher values for most indicators occur in the central districts of the city. However, due to the complexity of the observed characteristics, it is possible to discover significant differences in the structure of individual indicators. Peripheral districts reach higher amplitudes, which means that in some aspect they have even better transport services than the city center. Yet, at the same time, we also find opposite extremes here, highly below-average values for most other indicators. A detailed analysis of the results provides a unique perspective on the disparities among districts. It can also serve for specific identification of strengths and weaknesses of transport services and its possible optimization.

Although the construction of public transport infrastructure is underway, the poor quality of the pedestrian paths may result in users being reluctant to use public transport. Therefore, a method to find out the walking path according to the user's desire to travel is needed. This study aims to determine the factors formed and the influence of socials-demographic characteristics on the desire to walk to and from public transportation stations in Indonesia. The statements contained in the questionnaire were made based on the walkability index that has been used previously in several countries and confirmed by factor analysis. The results of the factor analysis showed that from the 13 variables tested, there were 4 variables which were reduced until the remaining 9 variables formed 2 factors. The two factors are the convenience factor and the practicality and safety factor. socials-demographic factors such as age, gender, walking frequency, walking distance, place of residence, walking purpose, and monthly expenses did not have a significant influence on the pleasantness factor as well as the practicability and safety factor.ABSTRAKMeskipun pembangunan infrastruktur transportasi umum sedang dilakukan, kualitas jalur pejalan kaki yang buruk dapat mengakibatkan pengguna enggan untuk menggunakan transportasi umum. Oleh karena itu suatu metode untuk mengetahui jalur perjalan kaki yang sesuai dengan keinginan berjalan pengguna sangatlah diperlukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang terbentuk dan pengaruh karakteristik sosial-demografis terhadap keinginan berjalan kaki dari dan menuju stasiun transportasi umum di Indonesia. Pernyataan-pernyataan yang terdapat dari kuesioner dibuat berdasarkan indeks walkability yang telah digunakan sebelumnya pada beberapa negara dan dikonfirmasi dengan analisis faktor. Hasil analisis faktor menunjukkan dari 13 variabel yang diuji terdapat 4 variabel yang direduksi hingga tersisa 9 variabel yang membentuk 2 faktor. Kedua faktor tersebut adalah faktor kenyamanan dan faktor kepraktisan dan keselamatan. faktor sosial-demografis seperti usia, jenis kelamin, frekuensi berjalan kaki, jarak kemampuan berjalan, tempat tinggal, tujuan berjalan, dan pengeluaran tiap bulan tidak memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap faktor kenyamanan maupun faktor kenyamanan dan keselamatan.

An increase in rail freight transport performances is affected by the quality of transport services, which is influenced to the great extent by the transport infrastructure and infrastructure manager services. An increase in the quality of services provided by railway infrastructure has also been achieved through the establishment of the European rail freight corridors. At the same time, the trends in routing of goods flows and demand for transport services have contributed to the establishment of the new European rail freight corridor “Amber”. For this reason, an implementation strategy of the Amber corridor is proposed using the SWOT method and Balanced Score Card method. The draft of strategy is based on the findings contained in the study of transport and market environment of the Amber corridor.

With the increase in the number of public and private buses in cities in recent years, managing the bus fleet across various routes in an efficient and effective manner has become cumbersome. This is resulting in suboptimal services, inability to effectively cater to existing demand, and poor quality of public transport services.  Modern technological advancements have created a tremendous opportunity to improve various aspects of public transport services, to not only serve existing demand but attract increasing number of passengers to public transport from a sustainable development standpoint.  One such area which is gaining momentum is intelligent fleet management using the concept of Internet of Things (IoT).  This area calls for a cross-field collaboration between engineers from various disciplines to use the up and coming idea of Internet of Things (IoT) for overcoming the challenges of intelligent fleet management. This paper explores the opportunity for incorporation of IoT to manage bus fleets based on the occupancy ratio and the resulting benefits that can be achieved in terms of fleet frequency optimization.

As metropolitan cities have improved and upgraded their public transport infrastructure to encourage higher public transport ridership, the next challenges understand factors that influence the individuals’ travel behaviour. Psycho-Social Attributes and Quality of Life are important elements to study the public transport ridership in metropolitan cities. This paper offers a short overview of the role of psycho-social and quality of life in understanding the travel behaviour of public transport in cities. The paper explores attributes such as social norms, personal norms, freedom, safety and comfort that have an impact on travel behaviour. Twenty-nine participants took part in the pilot study. Partial Least Square was used to analyze data. Results showed psycho-social attributes has strong direct relationship to travel behaviour while quality of life can be a good support for travel behaviour. Recommendation and suggestion are discussed.

Public transport plays an increasingly important role in satisfying the transport needs. Travellers’ requirements regarding the quality of services are increasing. In addition to passenger comfort, other parameters are important (timetable and the state of transport infrastructure). Therefore, methods that determine the appropriate organization of public transport for an area should be sought. The purpose of the article is to present the most commonly used optimization methods and tools that have been applied to the chosen problems of organization of public transport mainly in Poland (described in the articles of mainly Polish scientists), but against the background of global research. The article characterizes the functioning of public transport in Poland. The selected problems of public transport functioning, which can be solved by using optimization methods and tools were discussed. The chosen methods that were used to formulate and solve the identified problems were indicated. The effects of this article will form part of the work on the POIR.01.01.01-00-0970/17-00 project "IT system for computer-aided public transport planning" financed by the National Centre for Research and Development.
