Summary/Abstract: This report clarifies the significance of the negative consequences caused by the mass use of cars and buses with conventional engines in large cities, emphasizing the damage to the environment, human health and losses to the economy. The effectiveness of the actions taken so far at the European, national and local levels has been analyzed and it has been proven that, although they reduce and/or slow down the increase in the values of the negative indicators, they do not work effectively and do not ensure the achievement of the desired results. The need to define and implement new, effectively working emergency measures has been proven. A scientifically-based presentation of a fundamentally new idea for further developing existing practices has been made and its applicability and effectiveness have been proven. By using mathematical models to describe and predict the change in the quantities characterizing the processes of joint work between two fundamentally different in nature but mutually connected in a symbiotic relationship activities: Road Transport Company for Passenger Transportation (ATPPP) and Photovoltaic Power Plant (PPP), the significance of the effect of the practical implementation of this idea has been proven. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the impact of intelligent transport systems (ITS) on key indicators for sustainable urban mobility. The analysis tracks the social, economic, and environmental effects of various ITS solutions to identify the most effective approaches for achieving a sustainable urban environment. The methodological approach includes the definition and classification of key indicators for sustainable transport, with each indicator being assigned a relative weight according to its importance for the overall effectiveness of the system. A combined assessment is used to compare the different ITS options across the three dimensions of sustainability: social, economic, and environmental. The results show that integrated ITS platforms demonstrate the highest efficiency, as they combine the advantages of different technologies and simultaneously optimize traffic, reduce emissions, and improve the accessibility of transport services. In conclusion, intelligent transport systems are establishing themselves as an essential tool for achieving sustainable urban mobility and can serve as a basis for developing effective policies and strategies for intelligent transport management.
