Abstract—In the year 2007, it has been statistically noted, that the number of persons living in the cities has exceeded 50% globally. In accordance with this trend of growth of city residents, by the year 2030, 6 out of 10 people will be living in the cities and this number will increase to 7 out of 10 by the year 2050. The questions of optimal functioning, sustainable growth and quality of urban life are now more important than ever and the city traffic system has a crucial role in it. The optimal contribution of the city’s traffic system in the functioning and development of the city, especially with the expansion of its population, is only possible by acquiring the technical, technological, organizational and compatibility and complementarity of the transport systems in supplying the demand for transport.
