Climate change is an urgent issue, and the current mindset of private ownership, particularly of private vehicles, needs to shift. Shared mobility is rapidly emerging as a key part of the solution to contemporary transportation challenges, driven by technological advancements and the growing demand for more sustainable travel options. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of shared mobility operational models in Europe, focusing on carsharing and its current research on fleet optimization, bikesharing, and scooter sharing. The study draws on three scientific literature databases, with searches centered on keywords relevant to Shared Mobility. This study contributes to the literature by defining each Shared Mobility modality and examining the different operational models.

Road safety is a crucial component of the sustainable mobility, which is additionally emphasized by the fact that road safety improvements are on the political agenda of the European Commission. Road transport is the most vulnerable traffic mode, and in densely populated urban areas road accidents occur more frequently because of higher number of conflicts among traffic participants using different modes. This paper provides a detailed analysis of road safety in the Municipality of Brdovec. The data used in the analysis was provided by the ministry of interior in charge for 2018 to 2023, to give an insight into the current state. Then the paper focuses on road accident analysis considering time, location, and participants as inputs, providing the results in form of indicators – locations of increased risk and contributing factors. The goal of the analysis is to develop recommendations and strategies to improve road safety in the Municipality of Brdovec based on the provided indicators, as well as preventive measures for infrastructure improvements leading to better road safety.

Because there are fewer available urban spaces and more cars on the road, parking is becoming an increasingly important component of urban design. The sustainability of urban transportation and traffic flows can be greatly impacted by parking management. By using zonal parking as a parking policy measure, the city of Velika Gorica has arranged parking in its region. The parking system was examined in detail. Citizens were surveyed to find out what they thought of the parking system. Public unhappiness with the current parking system was shown by the analysis, which indicated that pricing adjustments and the provision of preferred parking permits were necessary. In areas with high demand, parking capacity must be increased. Using a collaborative approach to address parking issues can enhance traffic regulations and lead to more space for sustainable modes of transportation and pedestrian zones.

The goal and purpose of the research is to show a sustainable way of developing and implementing a completely new system of public passenger transportation on the example of a typical medium-sized Mediterranean city - Šibenik. The hypothesis of the study is to present a possible sustainable implementation of a new system of public passenger transportation regardless of financial, spatial, or other limitations. The research consisted of data and measures determined by the study of the development of urban passenger transport in the city of Šibenik, as well as problems that arose during the implementation phase. The results of the research and study are to confirm the hypothesis and give the possibility to other similar urban areas that sustainable public transport is the future of the transport system of Mediterranean cities.

Transport system planning and modelling traffic demand in cities and / or urban areas oriented to the needs of the population are key to create and implement a safe, efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable transport system. The trend of population growth in urban areas also carries with it an increase in the number of activities resulting in more trips made. By grouping population activities, it is possible to predict future transport demand. The classic approach to transport planning uses a four-step aggregate travel demand model. With the development of information and communication technologies, the possibilities for increasing the mobility of the population are further expanded. Due to the complexity of this problem, the classical approach does not provide the optimal solution. The new approach based on population activity allows for a more detailed and accurate representation of the habits of the population during different periods of the day and thus influences the number, type and characteristics of their travels. This paper will provide an overview of current research on predicting transport demand in urban areas, based on population activity through a disaggregated approach. The methodology, discussion of the topic, evaluation of future research on the subject matter and conclusion will also be presented.
