This comprehensive book delves into a wealth of numerical analyses, drawing a strong connection between the development of transport systems and the quality of life. It explores various aspects to ensure accessibility standards for public transport for individuals with special needs. It also examines multi-criteria methods for vehicle selection in freight transport, considering regional rail transport challenges. Additionally, it addresses the assessment of the technical condition of transport means, factors influencing passenger service quality, and the integration of zero-emission vehicles into transport plans.

The book caters to the needs of three key target groups: scientists and researchers in the field of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), local authorities responsible for urban and regional transport systems, and representatives from the business sector, including traffic strategy management and industry, involved in the manufacture of ITS components.

The research results discussed and the applied solutions in this book are primarily based on the presentations made at the 18th "Transport Systems. Theory and Practice" Scientific and Technical Conference, organized by the Department of Transport Systems, Traffic Engineering, and Logistics at the Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology. The conference took place in Katowice, Poland, on September 19th and 20th, 2022.

By presenting a collection of selected papers, this book offers valuable insights and practical approaches to the challenges and opportunities in the field of transport systems. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and professionals engaged in the development and improvement of transport systems, contributing to a better understanding of their impact on society and the environment.
