The main reason for contemporary transport problems related to traffic congestion in urban transport networks is the excessive number of passenger cars used by people commuting to work (i.e., to places where they carry out their work duties). During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant reduction in traffic flow was observed due to the implementation of remote work. Currently, transport problems are similar to those observed before the pandemic period. This article presents the results of research and a discussion on various factors, the recognition and analysis of which enable the virtualization of activities related to work duties. Contribution to the development of science and knowledge in the field of transport, and in particular in urban mobility planning, justifies the need for in-depth research taking into account, among other matters, objective and subjective personal factors in the assessment of social generation preferences to carry out activities in a virtual form (e.g., remote work). Proper recognition of these factors enables the development of mobility plans that can significantly reduce traffic congestion.

Sustainable mobility is one of the key elements determining the correct operationalization of the idea of sustainable development. This concept also appears more and more often in modern cities, whose authorities strive to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, among others by creating SUMP -Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. This is followed by all kinds of facilities that generate big traffic in cities. One of the institutions willing to meet the challenges of the ever-growing number of trips in its vicinity is Gdynia Maritime University (GMU), which is one of the largest employers in this seaport city, and thus – is one of the biggest traffic generators. The objective of this paper is to investigate the prerequisites and perspectives of creating and implementing mobility plan for GMU in order to make transport more sustainable in its vicinity. For this purpose, pilot research survey has been carried out among employees and students regarding their behaviour and transport preferences in reaching this destination. The research hypothesis stating that the transport habits of the GMU commuters are not compatible with the concept of sustainable mobility was confirmed. The implementation of a sustainable mobility plan in this institution will help to change the standards of traveling in the area of the University and will contribute to better quality of life in the city. It is recommended to enhance the cooperation with the Gdynia City Hall in order to create a synergy effect and bring an added value to sustainable development of this congested seaport urban space.

Horyzont 2050 – o nowy paradygmat planowania mobilności

Artykuł jest jednym z trzech przygotowywanych w ramach serii HORYZONT 2050. Dwa pozostałe – „o nowy paradygmat modelowania podróży” i „o nowy paradygmat planowania transportu miejskiego” są mutacjami wątku prezentowanego w tekście pierwszym. Punktem wyjścia dla wszystkich jest wizja systemu transportu 2050. Jest kilka elementów pewnych leżących u podstaw konstruowania jego przyszłej formuły technologicznej, ale szerokiej dyskusji wymagają jej następstwa, możliwości oraz proces jej realizacji. Zasadnicze kierunki powinny dotyczyć aspektów regulacji systemu współdzielonych środków autonomicznych, przyszłości publicznego transportu zbiorowego i konieczności zmiany podejścia do prognozowania i planowania podróży. Na rozwój technologii nakładają się znacząco normatywne oczekiwania związane z troską o klimatyczną przyszłość planety. Aktualnie praktykowana metodyka planowania mobilności, badań ruchu i procedur modelowania podróży, planowania miasta i transportu nie jest strukturalnie adekwatna do potrzeb optymalizacji przyszłych systemów transportu. Nadanie im stosownego biegu w horyzontach wieloletnich wymaga przełamania barier otoczenia systemowego transportu, które są głównymi przeszkodami jego zrównoważonego rozwoju. Publiczny transport zbiorowy w obecnym kształcie nie jest zdolny do przełamania dominacji motoryzacji w podziale zadań przewozowych. Autor nie próbuje zaprezentować optymalnej ani finalnej ścieżki, a postrzega szanse wykorzystania rozwijanej technologii, jak również stosownie uregulowanej konkurencji. To drugie może się okazać znacznie trudniejsze. Z pewnością jest to dopiero początek drogi, więc artykuł prezentuje tezy warte dyskusji.

The article is one of three papers prepared as a part of the HORYZONT 2050 series. The two remaining: “Towards a New Travel Modeling Paradigm” and “for a Towards a New Urban Transport Planning Paradigm” are mutations of the idea presented in the first article. The starting point for all of them is the vision of the 2050 transport system. There are several quite certain elements underlying the construction of its future technological formula, but its consequences, possibilities and the process of its implementation require broader discussion. The main directions should be related to the aspects of the system of shared autonomous means regulation, the future of public collective transport and the need to change the approach to forecasting and planning of travels. The development of technology is significantly connected with normative expectations related to concern for the planet’s climate future. The currently applied methodology of mobility planning, traffic research and travel modeling procedures, city and its transport planning are not structurally adequate with the needs of optimizing future transport systems. Giving them an appropriate direction in long-term horizons requires breaking the barriers of the transport system environment, which are the main obstacles to its sustainable development. Public transport in its current form is not able to break the dominance of the automotive industry in the modal split. The author does not attempt to endeavor to present the optimal or final path, but perceives the opportunities in using the developed technology as well as properly regulated competition. The latter may prove to be much more difficult. It is certainly only the beginning of the way, so the article presents theses worth to be discussed.
