Abstract

The first and last mile part of the public transport journey are essential for the whole transport system. Its quality affects the overall experience of the passenger in public transport. It is not important how attractive are individual transport modes if the rest of the journey is unattractive for the passenger. This paper is about shared mobility and it describes the connection between the first/last mile and the public transport system. Modes of shared mobility can reduce the pressure on the city transport system. It can also bring a better modal split. The authors performed a traffic-sociological survey for processing the respondents' opinions on the use of new modes of the sharing economy. The survey showed that more than eighty per cent of people travel to work daily, but more than half of them do not use public transport.

Highlights

  • Cities have a high social and economic impact on society, but they harm the environment

  • The Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 is another step after the invention of the first programmable manufacturing robots in the nineteen-seventies. It is based on the CyberPhysical System (CPS), which combines physical manufacturing processes with computational processes through the creation of networks enabling the two-way communication, feedback and planning based on Big

Summary

Literature review

The biggest problem of urban agglomerations today is the inefficient spatial and temporal movement of material flows. The city logistics transport system must, according to the author, support mobility and reduce the travel time. One can ensure it by optimizing the stop time on intersections and reducing traffic congestions. According to [21], the market for personal mobility is being changed quickly due to structural modifications of the social and cultural trends, as well as technological advances such as smartphones, Internet of Things (IoT) [22,23] It can improve the public transport system consisting of bus, tram, trolleybus and train lines. Innovative transportation modes enhance urban mobility and give potential solutions to address the first- and last-mile connectivity with public transit. According to [2728], this system is capable to connect people with the public transport system
