This proceedings present current trends in the transport growth. It
presents transport solutions both at a micro-level, such as that of
a single city or a single company, as well as at a macro-level of a
whole transportation system. The transport decisions made by an
individual in regards to the transport mode and route, add up to
the structure and efficiency of the whole system. Transport systems
cannot grow extensively anymore, due to lack of space or the amount
of additional costs, so the authors presents new solutions, ones
which are innovative and sustainable, while also increasing the
efficiency of transport operations. These solutions are analyzed
for performance at a scale of individual cities or companies, as
well as whole transport systems. The researchers, who are often
also practitioners in the field of transport, provide not only the
theoretical background for the transport analysis but also
empirical data and practical experience.

This proceedings volume examines the effects of transport on
socio-economic development including innovation, public health and
cultural behavior. Featuring contributions presented at the 2017
TranSopot Conference in Sopot, Poland, the enclosed papers are
divided to provide emerging research in transport sustainability,
innovation, structure, and in municipal transport economics.
Collectively, the contributions provide not only the theoretical
background for transport analysis but also empirical data and
practical applications. Researchers in the transport sector strive
to explore the nuances of various aspects of transport economics,
which are connected on many levels. The sustainability of transport
fits into a wide perspective of the sustainable economy. It treats
the activities of individuals, companies and local, regional and
national governments as means of achieving economic and social
ends. Conversely, transport sustainability has a certain burden on
society as it may generate external costs in the form of
congestion, pollution and negative health effects. Many of these
adverse effects might be counteracted by transport innovations,
both the technical ones and the organizational ones. These
innovations, while their main goal might be to increase the
efficiency of the transport entities, should also fit into the
desirable trend of responsible economic design thinking. These
general ideas of transport research naturally have to influence the
research in various branches of transport ranging from the road
transport to railway. Lastly, there is the municipal transport, in
which goals of different stakeholders are often contradictory which
leads to highly complicated decision problems. Featuring case
examples on topics as bike sharing, green travel, compact cars,
freight transport and electric cars, this book will be of interest
to researchers, practitioners, policy makers and students in the
fields of transport economics, innovation, and sustainability.
This proceedings volume presents current research on transport
sector development, with particular emphasis on sustainable
transport development, innovation and transport enterprise growth
and survival. Derived from the 2016 TranSopot Conference held in
Sopot, Poland, this book aims to show the possibilities of
maximizing the efficiency of transport, while keeping the negative
effects at a sustainable level. Transport is an important field of
human activity, both from economic and social points of view. It
has been proven that the development of transport contributes to
the development of regional, national and international economic
relations. Currently, the three most important topics in
transportation research are green transport, transport innovations
and metropolitan transport. These are the areas in which the
contributions presented in this book are focused. Researchers in
the field of sustainable transport provide the reader with a
comprehensive description of possible activities towards green
transport both in the terms of various transport branches and in
the supply chain as a whole. This is the framework of the second
field of transport research - innovation. The authors present a
wide array of a technological, organizational, process and
marketing innovation, which allow transport organizers and
operators to provide service in a safe, sound and economically
favorable way. The analysis of these innovations and the practical
implications of their introduction should be a worthwhile
experience both for the transport researchers and for the transport
business practitioners. Lastly, the book reflects the tendencies of
rapid development in urban and metropolitan areas which forces
transport policy makers to provide citizens with a comfortable and
faster way of commuting that doesn't result in unacceptable
congestion or other negative effects. Different concepts of
metropolitan transport management are presented and their effect on
the transport systems is also investigated.

This proceedings volume examines individual city transports,
transport companies and entire transport systems. Featuring select
contributions presented at the 2018 TranSopot Conference in Sopot,
Poland, this book provides an analysis of transportation solutions
both at the micro-level (single city or single company) as well as
the macro-level (whole transportation systems). The enclosed
research and case studies provide a theoretical background for
transport analysis but also new innovative and sustainable
solutions to transportation while also increasing the efficiency of
transport operations. Transportation is a very specific area of
social and economic life. It creates countless opportunities and
fulfills the need for mobility while also generating significant
cost-direct for the company or indirect to societies. Planning and
organizing transport is a task which requires a multi-level
approach with a focus on operational, ecological and financial
aspects. At a time in which many transport systems are unable to
grow extensively due to lack of space or increased cost, these
activities are even more crucial. The enclosed research from
researchers, scholars and practitioners provides not only new
theories but also empirical data and practical experience. The
TranSopot 2018 conference is a continuation of a long series of
conferences devoted to the topic of transport sector development.
The goal of the conference is to exchange current trends and spread
the results of current research into the fields of transport
growth, development and management.
