The passenger transport system in cities is the backbone of sustainable urban mobility. The problem faced by the city authorities is the question of choosing the carrier with the best bid in the public call. Services in charge of public transport are often able to choose carriers for one or more lines, and often for the entire area. The basic dilemmas are related to the type of procedure that should be carried out, whether the transport services market is open to competition, what methodology to apply if the transport services market is not declared open to competition, whether the selection procedure should end with the signing of the contract between the city government and the operator, and other questions for which answers are sought.This paper presents an analysis of practices and proposed guidelines for the development and application of the bid operator ranking model in the public selection process.

The paper provides general information and guidelines for the development of Mobility the Hub’s Action Plan of the City of Sarajevo. The action plan will cover a short-medium term time frame and vision, establishing a series of actions and measures to look for a visible and different concept of mobility through five basic components, such as: infrastructure, electromobility, auxiliary services, renewable energy sources and digital solutions. The main purpose of the work is to reduce the negative effects of traffic on citizens and the environment, encourage the transformation of urban mobility and direct the way of thinking towards sustainable development. Above all, defining the criteria for locating mobility hubs in urban areas. The conclusion is that mobility nodes are built in places of high concentration of people, which are places of exchange of passengers and places to which a large number of people gravitate. The Mobility Hub’s concept represents an attractive location/facility that offers users options for environmentally clean and practical modes of travel. It unites infrastructure and services in one place, creating a reliable model for a new way of moving around the city that saves money, is healthier, and increases involvement in green city transportation.

Digitization of transport requires the transformation of the transport system from a physical to a cybernetic physical system. Digitization of transport includes the application of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence in the transport system. This leads to the transformation of transport processes, but also to a change in the behavior of users and their views on transport and transport services. This creates the conditions for the development of new services and new solutions in the transport system that enable more efficient, economical, safer and more environmentally friendly transport.

In the last 5 years, several projects have been initiated in Sarajevo Canton that are focused on strengthening the identity of the city, promoting and implementing the concept of urban mobility, green and smart city. The issue of energy efficiency is included in all projects and from that aspect, among other things, the improvement of the public city passenger transport service is observed. This paper analyzes the state of public urban transport from the energy aspect, the savings that are achieved, the methodology for calculating savings and the effects that would be achieved through the implementation of planned projects for the development and reorganization of public urban passenger transport.

The integration of traffic and transport processes in the intelligent transportation system (ITS) environment requires a holistic view on the data describing the traffic and transport processes regardless of the branch and the mode of transport and transport. Information is the key to reducing uncertainty traffic and transport systems. Uncertainty system can increase the lack of information or a lack of quality. Restrictions integration of multimodal transport are largely caused by a lack of effective and efficient flow of information between different modes of transport.

This paper describes aspects of defining the research methodology traffic flows of goods in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and applicable to the territory of the Instrument for Pre-Accession funding (IPA). The main task of this paper is included in the package WP4 project (Instrument for EU integration) EASYCONNECTING. In line with this analysis of the research methods of cargo flows on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and IPA area and proposed guidelines for defining the model of research.

Previous experience in the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) systems have shown some difficulties in planning, development and implementation. Analysis of the dynamics of development and deployment of ITS services throughout the world have shown that the development of ITS is slower than originally foreseen and it is therefore necessary to identify the factors that hinder its development. Studies have shown that limitations are not technical nature (European Action Plan, American development plan ITS) than that of the main obstacles lie in the institutional and commercial considerations. For the development of ITS is important that the institutions and the creation of the legal framework governing their tasks and responsibilities in the process of its planning and implementation.

Development and implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) requires a new approach to transportation planning. The traditional approach to transportation planning included solutions related to construction of capital transport infrastructure facilities and traffic demand forecasting for a longer period. Traffic problems cannot be solved only by adding new transport network capacities. This requires finding new solutions that include improvement of traffic operations supported by ITS systems. The development of ITS is a long-term process whose development framework is defined by ITS architecture. For successful development of ITS is necessary to integrate the ITS system in the transportation planning process. A new approach to transportation planning enables finding solutions that include traffic operations management supported by ITS system in combination with the capital investments in the transportation infrastructure. The traditional approach to transportation planning started by identifying problems and ended in the proposal of resolving the problem. Unlike the traditional approach, the new approach to transportation planning includes short-term and long-term solutions that involve multiple steps of the planning process that follows the system performance measurement. The planning process is a continuous process that includes periodic evaluation of proposed solutions. This approach to transportation planning provides the ability to examine the effects of the proposed solutions to improve traffic operations supported by ITS services. ITS system allows continuous monitoring of the performance parameters of the transportation system to help decision-makers in the planning process to better understand the problems and better analyze the possible effects of different solutions supported by ITS systems.

The implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS) is becoming more complex and it is becoming more difficult to realize it successfully. The methodology of the European Framework ITS Architecture (FRAME) has been developed in accordance with the standards and practices of systematic engineering, and it should be used in the early stages of ITS life cycle. The European framework ITS architecture combines the users requirements and functional aspects and it can be used successfully for creating the national ITS architectures because it is independent of any particular technology and physical design. This approach to the development of national ITS architecture of Southeast European countries, which implies high compliance of users ITS requirements, enables the creation of frameworks that insures institutional and technical connection during the implementation of ITS projects. The development of national ITS architecture without the compatibility of the users requirements and without using the methodology of the European framework ITS architecture would result in much higher costs of ITS development and deployment, difficulties in achieving system interoperability, and difficulties in the process of upgrading and updating of national architecture throughout the ITS life cycle.

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) European Framework architecture has been developed with the aim of creating a common framework for the development of ITS in the European Union. Since it contains only a functional view of the possibility of leaving each country to adapt the ITS architecture to its own needs taking into account the specific requirements of the ITS users in the respective area. This approach will significantly accelerate the development of ITS in Europe and significantly facilitate the implementation of changes in it during the lifecycle. The South East Europe (SEE) countries are in the stage of preparation for creating their own ITS architecture. Given that the level of development of their transport system is very similar, that they have approximately equal economic opportunities for the investment in ITS, and considering the need for stronger interaction of transport systems of these countries in the ITS environment, the harmonized development of ITS relying on the European ITS Framework Architecture would significantly accelerate the development of ITS in the region, reduce the costs of implementation, maintenance and modernization of ITS.
