Grzegorz Sierpiński - Challenges and Solutions for Present Transport Systems

The series Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems publishes the latest developments in Networks and Systemsquickly, informally and with high quality. Original research reported in proceedings and post-proceedings represents the core of LNNS.

Volumes published in LNNS embrace all aspects and subfields of, as well as new challenges in, Networks and Systems.

The series contains proceedings and edited volumes in systems and networks, spanning the areas of Cyber-Physical Systems, Autonomous Systems, Sensor Networks, Control Systems, Energy Systems, Automotive Systems, Biological Systems, Vehicular Networking and Connected Vehicles, Aerospace Systems, Automation, Manufacturing, Smart Grids, Nonlinear Systems, Power Systems, Robotics, Social Systems, Economic Systems and other. Of particular value to both the contributors and the readership are the short publication timeframe and the world-wide distribution and exposure which enable both a wide and rapid dissemination of research output.

The series covers the theory, applications, and perspectives on the state of the art and future developments relevant to systems and networks, decision making, control, complex processes and related areas, as embedded in the fields of interdisciplinary and applied sciences, engineering, computer science, physics, economics, social, and life sciences, as well as the paradigms and methodologies behind them.

Indexed by SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago.

All books published in the series are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.

The challenges of modern transport systems include the need for integration and reduction of the negative impact on the environment. The improvement of the functioning of the transport system should be preceded by a proper diagnosis and assessment of the current state. This knowledge allows to make adjustments in the planning and organization of transport systems.

The articles included in the publication are expressions of case study-based scientific and practical approach to the problems of contemporary transport systems.

The authors drew attention to challenges for planners and transport systems organizers including accessibility standards, decision-making problems, integration in public transport or choosing proper direction in transport plans. For all these situations, it is necessary to apply solutions that take into account the needs in the field of environmental protection, as well as the reduction of energy consumption. The publication also includes an abundance of numerical analyses based on significant data sets, illustrating the close affiliation between transport systems development and quality of life.
