Abstract:

The application of modern technologies in combination with logistics centres in the public passenger transport system can contribute to reducing fuel consumption, preserving the environment, and increasing driving comfort. The door-to-door passenger transport model has been researched in this study as one of the ways for smart traffic management but also for increased driving comfort, primarily for people with special needs or requiring constant medical care. Modern technologies include the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, vehicles powered by alternative fuels in city transport, and minibuses. The study shows that implementing a door-to-door transportation system with eco-friendly minibuses could reduce the number of passenger vehicles by up to 50% over six years in medium-sized cities, leading to lower CO₂ emissions and improved accessibility. The use of natural gas and electric vehicles, combined with intelligent management systems, significantly enhances energy efficiency and supports sustainability goals.

Keywords:
