Efficient Transport System in Urban Environment

Many cities are currently facing to problems with the functioning of their transport infrastructure resulting mainly from congestions and the increasing trend of individual car usage. The call for solving and proposing the efficient transport systems occurs due the fact of need to improve the mobility condition in the urban environment. Therefore, this paper deals with the topic of efficient transport system with accent to evaluation of single transport modes and their impact on the urban environment. The two parameters are proposed: the Capacity Index (CI) and the Vehicle Emission Pollutant Index (VEPI) that present how efficient the transport systems are in first case in the sense of transport infrastructure capacity, second in the sense of environmental issue.
