In recent years, policymakers of urban agglomerations in various regions of the world have been striving to reduce environmental pollution from harmful exhaust and noise emissions. Restrictions on conventional vehicles entering the inner city are being introduced and the introduction of low-emission measures, including electric ones, is being promoted. This paper presents a method for scenario analysis applied to study the reduction of exhaust emissions by introducing electric vehicles in a selected city. The original scenario analyses relating to real problems faced by contemporary metropolitan areas are based on the VISUM tool (PTV Headquarters for Europe: PTV Planung Transport Verkehr AG, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany). For the case study, the transport model of the city of Bielsko-Biala (Poland) was used to conduct experiments with different forms of participation of electric vehicles on the one hand and traffic restrictions for high emission vehicles on the other hand. Scenario analyses were conducted for various constraint options including inbound, outbound, and through traffic. Travel time for specific transport relations and the volume of harmful emissions were used as criteria for evaluating scenarios of limited accessibility to city zones for selected types of vehicles. The comparative analyses carried out showed that the introduction of electric vehicles in the inner city resulted in a significant reduction in the emission of harmful exhaust compounds and, consequently, in an increase in the area of clean air in the city. The case study and its results provide some valuable insights and may guide decision-makers in their actions to introduce both driving ban restrictions for high-emission vehicles and incentives for the use of electric vehicles for city residents.

The article presents the idea of modeling the decision-making process in the field of the metropolitan areas transport system. Due to the increasing process of metropolization and urbanization, which is predicted to be 68.4% worldwide and 83.7% in Europe in 2050, the issue will be even more sophisticated. The problem of depletion of transport network capacity as well as the implementation of modern technology solutions forces metropolitan committees to apply tools for metropolitan passenger transport system optimization. Significantly, the policy and regulations on sustainable urban mobility management are based on the mobility demand predictions and understanding of the travel decision-making process of citizens. The scientific purpose of this article is to build a mathematical model, as a tool supporting the multi-criteria decision-making process regarding the choice of means of transport in a developing metropolis. The issue raised in this article considers the most important research areas of the metropolitan transport means selection, which includes transport safety, qualitative, financial, and ecological aspects. The model was implemented in Silesian Metropolis in Poland with a particular emphasis on sharing mobility transport means users. As a result, a ranking of sharing transport means was developed, which is a piece of significant information for planners and future investors in the development of the metropolitan transport system.

The process of building a transport model requires carrying out extensive traffic measurements and travel behaviours analyses. Part of traffic measurements is used: in the process of building a transport model, to determine structure of demand for transport and to verify the quality of the developed model. It is important to adopt an appropriate research methodology and scope of research, tailored to the needs of developing a transport model using the four-step trip-based travel demand modelling process. This article is devoted to the review of methodologies, according to which Comprehensive Traffic Survey was implemented in recent years in Poland. Case study of the construction of a transport model for the city of Bielsko-Biała was shown. The ways of representing the results of researches and measurements of road traffic have been presented.

Road network is a set of objects that are located in a geographical space. The analysis of a road network should be conducted having regard to the area where it exists. The area that is covered in an analysis is usually vast so it may be useful to split it into smaller units. Such delimitation however may have an effect on the assessment of chosen topological measures of road transport network, such as its density. The aim of the paper is to show how a delimitation of a given area may influence the assessment of road network structure that is located in analyzed area.

The article is a continuation of the research work carried out by the authors on determining the impact of the countdown timers on traffic conditions, and—in this case—on traffic safety at the intersections. The paper presents the results of research for assessing the impact of the role of the intersection with the countdown timers in transportation network of the city on the safety of the intersections. Moreover, the article also demonstrates the force of the influence of the countdown timers on the level of traffic safety, depending on the function of the intersection in transportation network. For scientific purposes, the traffic measurements were conducted which have been described in detail in another article [1].

Demand for transport of bulk materials in the north-south relation and transport forecasts on this route, justify the launch of intermodal connection to customers located in the south of Europe, using the Baltic Adriatic Transport Corridor (CETC), the AGN network and the Oder waterway (E30). Transport of valuable bulk cargoes (coking coal, coke, fertilizers), exported from the Upper Silesia area, south to river, rail and sea transport to customers located in SouthEastern Europe, and even further, in Egypt, India, and in China (coking plants, steel mills).

The article presents the scope and the algorithm of traffic flows surveys and measurements (TFSM) necessary for the construction of an urban agglomeration transportation model (UATM) for ITS projects. The basic guidelines for determining the locations of the measurement points have also been discussed. To show the structure of TFSM the algorithm of action during Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Studies for Transportation Modeling with Evaluation of ITS Project, has been presented. The examples relate in particular to urban agglomeration with the nature of a conurbation - Upper Silesian Agglomeration in Poland.

The article presents the selected issues and the algorithm of methodology for delimitation of the urban area for the needs of construction of four-step transportation model. In the methodology the use of the transportation model for the evaluation of ITS projects has been taken into account. The essence of the presented methodology is to take into account three types of criteria for delimiting the area and different levels of reference. Presented issues became the basis for the development of mathematical formalization of delimitation problem. The examples relate in particular to urban agglomeration with the nature of a conurbation - Upper Silesian Agglomeration in Poland.
