Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2018, Vol 40, Issue 4

Abstract

In this article, we present our view on the Transport System of a city as a system, consisting of four layers: aesthetic, functional, safe and smart. We define the layers and describe their relationships. Getting deeper into the system and features needed in every layer are summarized. In the following part, we will introduce some smart and safe transport solutions, applied in the city of Žilina, solutions from Finnish city of Tampere, that is one of the smartest middle-sized cities in Europe, and also few more examples from around the world. In the last part, we take a look at the futuristic plans for the transport systems, represented by autonomous driving from the safety point of view.
