Optimization of Intelligent Transport Systems Planning Energy Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility

This Special Issue of Energies, "Optimization of Intelligent Transport Systems Planning Energy Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility," will consist of manuscripts describing problems and challenges for transport systems. The modern approach to city planning generates new expectations for mobility. The geographic space is a type of limited resource. Currently, dynamic changes in land-use are being observed. During such processes, administrative units do not always prepare for land-use planning when considering sustainable development. Vehicle numbers are increasing, as are the number of trips being made. This results from changes in people's lifestyles, the habits created, and the increased convenience associated with personal transport. This development of individual transport, which contributes to the deterioration of road conditions (congestion), is harming the environment due to air and noise pollution and energy consumption and is causing the deterioration of residents' health (due to increased use of personal transport).
