Electric air taxis as part of Smart City air mobility

Abstract: This article presents electric air taxis as an innovative solution in urban logistics. An introduction to the subject is presented with a description of the theory of the dynamically developing SmartCity concept, which makes it possible to eliminate the disadvantages of agglomeration development and to coordinate the city as an organism more accurately. Of the 6 areas that SmartCity covers, the article focuses on mobility and modern electromobility solutions, such as electric and hybrid cars, metros, electric scooters, drones, etc., being introduced to diversify transport. The second half of the article focuses on the electric air taxi models currently under development and the infrastructure required for their operation. An important inspiration for the article was the EXPO2020 World Expo in Dubai, during which some of the models described were presented. Few sources in the Polish literature address the described issues, but work on prototypes is at such a stage of advancement that the introduction of this solution in some places on Earth is only a matter of time.

Analysis of preferences and satisfaction of public transport passengers on the Myślenice – Kraków line

Abstract: Public transport is one of the key factors affecting the quality of life of the inhabitants of cities and communes and the organization of the economy in this area. One of the challenges for local transport organizers is to effectively compete with individual transport. In Myślenice, the transport needs of residents relate to efficient movement within the city, but also to Kraków, which is the nearest large city and the seat of the Małopolska Province. The aim of the article is to analyze the preferences and satisfaction of public transport passengers on the Myślenice – Kraków line, together with the inventory of transport companies offering transport services on this provincial line. Plans for the expansion of road and railway infrastructure on the section from Kraków to Myślenice, important for the inhabitants of Myślenice, have also been presented.
