Decreasing traffic congestion, improving mobility and environment preservation are some of the biggest transportation challenges. Non- efficient city transportation, especially when significant congestions occur, impacts nearly all aspects of city functions and its development. To overcome these challenges many city planners are looking to smart public transport solutions, including development and introducing of new transport means, combining different existing means of transport or altering the transport organization using the existing means and infrastructure.
