A high number of vehicles have caused strong congestion, mainly in city centres. A sustainable development of transport contains two essential physical activities. These are a formation of the traffic flows divided into different means of transportation that cover the pro-environmental transport on one side, and an innovation technology development to reduce the negative results of transportation for the surroundings on the other. There is – apart from the two factors already mentioned – a huge need for changes in the travel behaviour of people making the trips as well as a need for changes in the approach to the problem of a city development in terms of mobility.
The knowledge of decision-making factors in the mode choice is important during the transport processes designing. The traffic distribution modelling should follow principles of sustainable development. It requires undertaking steps to increase competitiveness of alternative transportation modes.
